Arbitrator Teplitsky to issue
orders to resolve outsourcing issues
On Wednesday January 23, 2008 the CAW Jazz
Tech Bargaining Committee met with senior management to evaluate the Company’s
proposal to resolve the CAW’s concerns over outsourcing. Management’s proposal
was well below the expectations of our membership. As management’s proposal
was unacceptable the Bargaining Committee decided discussions with the Company
would be adjourned and we would proceed to arbitration with Arbitrator Martin
Teplitsky hearing the matter and issuing orders to all parties.
On Friday January 25, 2008 the CAW
Bargaining Committee and Jazz management gave testimony on the outsourcing issue
to Arbitrator Teplitsky. After lengthy a discussion and suggestions by Mr.
Teplitsky to resolve the matter it was apparent that management and the CAW were
too far apart and an order from Mr. Teplitsky was the only way to resolve the
issue. His order will be made available to the CAW and Jazz management during
the week of January 28 and will be communicated to the membership as soon as it
is received.
