  During the recent negotiations, the State and the 
  International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) agreed to 
  revise the post and bid process (Article 17) for filling 
  vacancies in Bargaining Unit 2.
  
  The revised post and bid article provides for the posting 
  of vacancies within the local work location as they occur.  
  Effective immediately, upon the decision of the appointing 
  authority to fill a permanent full-time position, the 
  vacancy must be posted in each work site within the local 
  work location for a minimum of 7 calendar days.  The posted 
  vacancy must include the classification, a duty statement 
  or description of duties, requisite skills and abilities 
  required of the position, reporting location, the shift and 
  days off of the position, the final filing date, and the 
  contact person's name and telephone number and posted in a 
  manner that Unit 12 employees within the local work 
  location may view the postings.
  
  The new agreement continues to provide an annual post and 
  bid process for transfers outside the local work location.  
  This new bidding period will be October 1 through October 
  30.  However, because of the close time frame between the 
  ratification of the contract and the October bidding 
  period, the bidding period is extended through November 30, 
  2001.  The bids received between October 1, 2001 and 
  November 30, 2001 will be effective January 1, 2002.  The 
  bids submitted during the December 2000 bidding period will 
  remain in effect until December 31, 2001.  The bidding 
  period for 2002 will return to the October 1 through 
  October 30 time frame agreed to during contract 
  negotiations.
  
  Please note that for all Unit 12 classes in the Department 
  of Transportation only, all vacancies will be posted as the 
  vacancy occurs.  Upon the decision of the appointing 
  authority to fill a permanent full-time position, the 
  vacancy must be posted in each worksite statewide for a 
  minimum of 7 calendar days.  The posted vacancy 
  announcement must contain the same information as provided 
  in paragraph two.  This process will be effective January 
  1, 2002.  The bids submitted during the December 2000 
  bidding period will remain in effect until December 31, 
  2001.  The annual bidding process will no longer be 
  utilized in the Department of Transportation.
  
  In addition, for Telecommunications Technicians and Senior 
  Telecommunications Technicians in Department of General 
  Services only, all vacancies will be posted as the vacancy 
  occurs.  Effective immediately, upon the decision of the 
  appointing authority to fill a permanent full-time 
  position, the vacancy must be posted in each worksite 
  statewide for a minimum of 7 calendar days.  The posted 
  vacancy announcement must contain the same information as 
  provided in paragraph two in this memorandum.  The annual 
  bidding process will no longer be utilized in the 
  Department of Transportation.
  
  Attached is the Unit 12 Post and Bid language and Post and 
  Bid form.  The attached Post and Bid Form shall be used in 
  departments that have not reached agreement with IUOE for 
  their individual post and bid form(s).
  
  Should you have questions concerning this matter, please 
  contact Julie Chapman at (916) 324-9420.
  
  Sincerely,
