contributions. Contributions from the City will not be funded from any source other than this wage
reduction.
B. Effective 1 -1 -19 the contribution rate equals $2.00 per straight time hour worked (including sick,
vacation and compensatory time). The Employer shall pay this contribution directly to the I.U.O.E.
Central Pension Fund at 4115 Chesapeake Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20016

Straight 8 Work Schedule
Purpose
To provide high quality service to the residents of St. Anthony and also to provide flexibility to employees
work schedules with the goal of increased production and delivery of City services.
Proaram
The straight 8 hour work schedule needs to be flexible with some constraints to be of benefit to the City of
St. Anthony and its employees. The Local 49 bargaining group will use the following guidelines:
1) The straight 8 hour shift will be the normal hours of work for employees during the span of this
memorandum. Employees shift shall be 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
2) All crew members shall be prepared when they leave the shop with the proper tools, water, long
pants, bug spray, sunscreen, safety equipment etc...
3) The two paid 15 minute breaks will be taken as 1/2 hour break at 11:00 a.m. or as the crew's work
schedule dictates.
4) Leave your work site at end of day with only enough time to complete required end -of -day
procedures (i.e., fueling, clean -up, time cards, and transport time).
5) Extreme weather conditions may require that employees take additional rest and water breaks
(high heat and humidity, below zero temperatures or severe wind chill). Discuss this with your
supervisor before taking additional breaks.
6) Because of the flexibility to accommodate the daily work schedule, all employees may not be on
the same break schedule. If you are on break (or before or after your work shift), make sure you
are not interfering or disrupting another employee during their work hours.
This agreement has been reached through discussions at the Labor Management Committee and must
continue to be beneficial to the City of St. Anthony, its residents and its employees. Any difficulties with
excessive breaks, disorganization, unfair labor requests, crew member conflicts or abuse of the program
as a result of the straight 8 hour shift program and this Memorandum of Understanding may be
terminated with 30 days written notice by either party.
