DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The current MOU between the County of El Dorado and Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3, Trades and Crafts Bargaining unit provides for the Transportation Division to authorize a 4/10 or a 9/80 work schedule during the summer months for road, mechanic and related crews.
The parties wish to remove language in Article 6.1(C) regarding work schedules 'during the summer months’ and add language which clarifies the work schedule workweek of a 4/10 and 9/80 work schedule as it applies and is in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act. In addition, Article 6.1(F) will remove the Chief Administrative Officer from the duty of approving alternative work schedules and grant such authority to the Director of Human Resources.
