General Personnel All other requests for personnel shall be considered requests for General Personnel. The Business Agent shall follow the General Personnel Dispatch List order when making dispatch calls for General Personnel labor requests.

General Dispatch Calling Rules It is the responsibility of the Business Agent of IATSE Local #675 to fill employer labor requests to the best of their ability in accordance with the rules of the Hiring Hall. The Business Agent shall contact each eligible worker in Dispatch List order using the procedure set forth here. The Business Agent will make dispatch calls, by telephone, between the hours of 9:00 am and 8:00 pm except in case of an emergency or by prior arrangement with a worker. The Business Agent is not obligated to call workers who have already begun working on a labor request when their current hours conflict with the

new labor request. For each labor request the Business Agent will be required to make only one dispatch call to each worker.

Calling The Business Agent shall attempt to make direct contact with the worker by calling the worker’s primary telephone number. If no direct contact is made, an electronic message (voicemail, or answering machine) will be left and the worker will have a response grace period to accept or decline by phone, or email, to the Business Agent’s office. The response grace period shall be 3 hours from the time of the call. If no message can be left, because the worker has no voicemail or answering machine, this shall be accepted as the dispatch call attempt. Workers responding within the response grace period will be placed on the labor request in Dispatch List order. Workers responding after the response grace period may be placed on the labor request, if a position remains, in the order of their response, regardless of Dispatch List order.

Outside Work within the IndustryThe Hiring Hall is sympathetic to the varied circumstances faced by the members of our temporary workforce. It Is our position that should you seek outside work within the industry in our jurisdiction, we highly recommend you use our union representative to negotiate your wage. To accept substandard wages for the work we do is considered contrary to the basic fundamentals of our organization as stated in Article 2 Section 1a of our Constitution declaring our objectives; “to improve wages”. Conflict of Interest- Continuous non-represented employment with an IATSE contracted employer may constitute a conflict of interest. All hiring hall participants are expected to report independent employment which may present a conflict of interest. Potential conflict of interests may include but are not limited to: *Independent employment by an employer with whom IATSE has an agreement. *Independent employment by an employer with whom IATSE is engaged in negotiations. *Independent employment by a competing labor contractor servicing the Theatrical and Stage industry. The Business Agent will report a potential conflict to the E-Board and advise the worker of the decision. Should any worker be found to be in conflict of interest, dispatch status will be suspended until the conflict is resolved to the satisfaction of IATSE 675.

Expectations All workers dispatched by the Hiring Hall are representatives of IATSE Local #675 in their place of employment and are expected to abide by and uphold the IATSE Local #675 Hiring Hall Conduct Policy. Failure to do so shall result in disciplinary action.

Disciplinary Action Disciplinary action shall be taken by the E-Board on the basis of written information provided by the Business Agent, an Employer and/or Coworker. Disciplinary action will be suspension from dispatch. Suspension from dispatch could be temporary, job specific (i.e. only from a single complaining employer), or permanent. Any disciplinary action taken by the E-Board will be done in closed session and be accompanied by a letter of explanation to the worker. There shall also be opportunity granted for appeal to the EBoard and/or the membership of IATSE Local #675. The Business Agent shall answer for the actions in the management of the Hiring Hall to the E-Board and the general membership of IATSE Local #675. It shall be the responsibility of the Business Agent, after being advised of such ineligibility by the E-Board, to immediately suspend any worker from dispatch who does not meet all eligibility requirements. Local 675 pledges to carefully review all worker’s inquiries or grievances arising from Union action or work related matters. This may require the appearance of the worker before such Union tribunals as necessary. The worker pledges to adhere to the Job Referral Procedures of Local 675. Local 675 would encourage, but not demand, a worker to first bring grievances or complaints to the Local before seeking legal actions against said union...

Tuxedos for employees may be requested and provided. Circumstances for special attire include the symphony, opera, ballet, and fund raisers.

C) Hot weather/outdoor: Shorts of moderate length and tank tops with a reasonable neckline may be worn with permission on specific calls. Clothing must have finished edges- no cutoffs.

No Show Policy Any worker who misses a call shall be considered a NO SHOW and will be subject to suspension of dispatch. Not showing up for a call is subject to review by the Executive Board at its next scheduled meeting after the offense. The Executive Board review will determine if worker’s unexcused absence was due to a legitimate reason.

Lateness Policy Workers must be on site and/or at designated station i.e. loading dock, wardrobe area, or stage and ready to work with proper tools at the designated call time. It is the responsibility of each worker to check in with Steward or Lead Carpenter for the call and failing to do so will mean the worker will be considered late. All lateness is to be reported to Business Agent by the Steward or Carpenter. Once a worker is considered late, the Steward or Carpenter is required to take steps to fill worker’s position. The Steward/Carpenter will take reasonable action in dealing with tardiness but constraints of certain jobs may compel the action of considering the tardiness a “No Show” and call for a replacement. If a tardy worker reports to work after a replacement has been obtained, the tardy worker will lose his or her position to the replacement worker. Voluntary Replacement on a Call Illness: Any worker needing to be replaced due to illness must give a minimum of one hour notice to Business Agent. If Business Agent cannot be reached, the Steward, Carpenter or appropriate lead needs to be notified.

Unforeseen Circumstances: Accidents, family emergencies, injuries, and/or acts of nature which prevent worker from call obligations all need to be reported to Business Agent to aid in replacement and excusing the absence.

Replacement Request: Replacement request not covered by the above categories must reach the Business Agent 24 hours prior to the call and be approved by the Business Agent. Substance Abuse Policy The use of, or being under the influence of, alcohol or drugs shall not be permitted at the work site and/or on duty. If there is reasonable suspicion that a worker has reported to work showing signs of drug or alcohol use, the steward/carpenter has the authority to suspend worker from duties and call for replacement. If use or evidence of use is witnessed by another worker, a report must be made to the steward/carpenter or to department lead who will report to steward/carpenter. If a steward/carpenter relieves a worker from duty due to use or evidence of use of drugs or alcohol, the steward/carpenter will submit a written report to Business Agent to be kept on file. If a worker believes removal from work is unjust, the worker has the right to appeal to the Executive Board. If the drug or alcohol abuse incident occurs during a call for the City of Eugene, procedures will follow according to the IATSE Local 675 contract with the City of Eugene.

Any revisions by the E-Board of these minimums must be approved by the membership. Workers, who are injured or receive Workers Compensation from work accepted through this hiring hall, limiting their ability to accept calls, may be exempted from the minimum number of hours required to remain in their group at the discretion of the E- Board.
