The work of employees shall be work presently performed by employees within the bargaining unit and new or additional work assigned to the unit by the Employer; however, nothing herein shall be construed as giving the Union exclusive jurisdiction over or exclusive right to perform any work. It is agreed that this clause shall not limit, or be construed to limit, the Employer's right to assign work to excluded employees.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to restrict the right of the Employer to contract for services of independent contractors to perform work normally performed by unit employees unless such contracting will result in layoffs or failure to recall qualified employees from layoff.
The Employer agrees in accordance with the provisions of Article XVI (Guild-Management Meetings) to meet with the Union to discuss matters regarding work presently performed by employees within the bargaining unit, assignment of new or additional work, or changes in the work assignment.
Other than those matters addressed above, this Article is intended to reflect past practices in newsroom operations.
