APWU Maintenance Craft re-promotion question

Posted on by 21cpw User Post

Has anyone been re-promoted back to a higher level after voluntarily dropping 2 levels. This is covered in the JCIM page 288 or Article 38 page 10.

If so, what step were you and what did you go back to?  It is hard to find out the intent of this in the contract. Others have different interpretations.

Thanks

    “The parties agree that when an employee who has taken a voluntary downgrade from a higher-level APWU bargaining unit position to an APWU bargaining unit position of two (2) or more levels lower; and the employee is subsequently re-promoted to an APWU bargaining unit position in a formerly held level, the employee will be assigned the step the employee would have attained with credit toward the step date as if the employee had remained continuously in that previously held higher level.

    Example; An Electronics Technician Level 10-P transfers to a new facility as a Level 7 Maintenance Mechanic. ET is placed in Level 7-O. Within a few months, the employee is promoted in the new facility to a Level 10 ET but is placed into Step-H and starts a new waiting period(s) to advance back to Step-P. This results in a loss of eight (8) steps previously held and requires 240 weeks (4.6 years) to top out again. Employees will now be treated as if they never left the previous level for salary purposes. In the example above the employee would be returned to Step-P upon repromotion.”

    I stand corrected. Nice that they made this change. Would have been nicer 10 years earlier during the AMPs. I could have transferred back to my old facility years sooner. The quoted text is directly from the most recent edition of the JCIM.

    To my knowledge, if you take a VOLUNTARY downgrade, any promotion to a higher level will be governed by the promotion chart based on your CURRENT level.
