17 <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING <br />BETWEEN <br />CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MN <br /> AND <br /> I.U.O.U., LOCAL 49 <br /> <br />Commercial Driver’s License <br /> <br />The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to assist both Labor and Management in applying <br />the new rules for Commercial Drivers License (CDL) holders. The following conditions will apply to no <br />more than one (1) Public Works employee with fifteen (15) years of service or more in the Local 49 <br />Bargaining Unit at any given time, and allows only one revocation per person. <br /> <br />1. If an employee temporarily loses his/her driver’s license and CDL, the employee must obtain a <br /> valid work permit that allows them to drive non-commercial vehicles during work hours. An <br /> employee that has no valid license may be required to use paid leave until they are able to <br /> obtain a valid work permit. An employee who does not obtain a drivers license within ninety <br /> (90) days will be terminated. <br /> <br />2. In the opinion of the Department Head, there must be sufficient bargaining unit work that does <br /> not require a CDL and the impacted employee shall possess the skills and abilities to successfully <br /> undertake those tasks. <br /> <br />3. If there is sufficient work, the Employer will accommodate an employee who temporarily <br /> loses his/her CDL license for a period not to exceed one (1) year. The one (1) year period begins <br /> as of the date of his/her license revocation. If the employee does not have their CDL reinstated <br /> within one (1) year, the employee will be terminated. <br /> <br />4. If the temporary loss of a driver’s license is the result of an alcohol-related offense, the employee <br /> will be required to comply with the recommendations of a Substance Abuse Professional. Proof <br /> of compliance with the Substance Abuse Professional recommendations will be provided to the <br /> Employer. <br /> <br />5. This agreement applies to driving violations outside the work place. This agreement does not <br /> include positive test results from the Department of Transportation’s required random testing. <br /> <br />6. A twenty-five percent (25%) decrease in pay will begin as of the revocation date. Any lost <br /> wages during the revocation of the employee’s drivers license/CDL will not be reimbursed <br /> regardless of the outcome of any subsequent contesting of the revocation. <br /> <br />This Memorandum of Understanding will remain in effect from January 1, 2016 through December 31, <br />2017. As of January 1, 2016 the Letter may be eliminated at the request of either party. <br /> <br /> <br />FOR CITY OF ARDEN HILLS FOR IUOE, LOCAL NO. 49 <br /> <br />By ________________________ By __________________________ <br /> <br />By ________________________ By __________________________ <br /> <br />By ________________________ By __________________________ <br /> <br />Dated ___________________ Dated ____________________
