	In an effort to be more responsive to communications from line 
departments and the Department of Personnel Administration (DPA), 
the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) has requested 
that correspondence with policy implications always be sent to their 
offices in San Francisco.  While the more routine communications 
such as grievance responses should continue to be forwarded to the 
assigned business agent handling the case, issues with a potential 
impact on represented employees should be referred to the San 
Francisco Office.

	The types of notices that should be forwarded to the San Francisco 
office may include, but are not limited to:
	
	     *	Notice of policy change and offers to meet and confer under 
the Entire Agreement clause;
	
	     *	Notice of layoff to the union as prescribed in the MOU;

	     *	Notice of meetings inviting union participation to discuss 
procedural or processing changes affecting issues such as 
health benefits, dental, payroll, leave accounting or any 
other change potentially impacting employees in the 
bargaining unit; and,

	     *	Notice of classification changes as required by the MOU.
