Connors Area Business Representative Tnternaticral Union of operating Engineers Local No. 49 2829 Anthony'Lare South Minneapolis, Minnesota 515418 BS: Wally Mortenson Grievance Dear Mr. Connors: I an in receipt of your letter of April 12, 1989 filing the third step of the grievance procedure between I•U.C.E. Local No. 49, representing Wally Mortenson, and the City of Mounds View. It is my understanding from discussing this matter with Public Works Foreman Mike Ulrich and Public Works Director Ric Minetor that the discipline you are now grieving resulted from a series of events described as follows - Mr. Mortenson and all members of the Public Works Department for the City of Mounds View had been advised by Mr. Ulrich that heavy equipm�_nt operator wages (Maintenance III) would not be paid for employees performing general maintenance on pieces of equipment certified for heavy equipment operator wages. The employees were advised the heavy equipment operator wages are paid when the employee is actually operating the equipment. Mr. Mortenson completed a timesheet indicating heavy equipment operator work when he had oniv been performing regular maintenance on the equipment and Mr. Ulrich iapriWa••ce__ded him verbally for such action in violation of prior direction. This most recent discipline results from a second attempt on the part of Mr. Mortenson to collect heavy equipment operator wages for performing regular maintenance on the equipment but not operating said equipment. Mr. Ulrich then appropriately proceeded to correct Mr. Mortenson's timesheet and reprimanded Mr. Mortensor. in writing for his violation of said directive.
