First proposal - Why consolidate two distinct different titles? It makes no sense, imagine a hospital consolidating the titles of medical doctor and nurse into a single title with two levels. Clearly a motorman title is different than a conductor title - why should one work out of classification one wonders? However our assumption is the management wants to glide down to the path of One Person Train Operator. It is possibility in the future however their pay would be double hourly pay for the spread. In addition to that each location or crew room will maintain an extra list that is composed at a minimum four (4) extras on each classification - at the maximum eight (8) extras on each classification daily (twenty four hours) and their assignment will be made to the duties normally assigned to their classification.
Second proposal - No
Third proposal - Maybe, as a counter offer the NYCTA will relinquish the right to fix operating and personnel schedules. There will be a two (2) step review process at the first year end, and the second at the second year end. If the probationer’s performance is unsatisfactory he/she must be counseled by his/her department head in the presence of the probationer’s Union Representative. A notation will be made of the counseling session in the review form. The probationary period may be extended by mutual consent not to exceed thirty (30) working days. A probationary employee may not be dismissed during probation period. If in the event there is a serious infraction the probation period may be extended beyond the thirty (30) working days by mutual consent.
Forth proposal - No - what if in the future there are budget constrains.
Fifth proposal - One year lock-in assignment is not feasible for the employee however it is great for the management.
Sixth proposal - Maybe, in assailing sick rules our counter offer section 2.6.J would be beneficial to the management thus eliminate section 2.6.I.
Seventh proposal - Maybe, our counter offer for that, eliminate section 2.6.G.
Eighth proposal - Maybe, counter offer for that is that the division pay will be raised to a guaranteed sixty one (61) hours weekly.
