Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with your approach. However, would it be too difficult to just create two separate memos since that's the suggestion of the rep? I mean, they can be the exact same memo, one with the added disclosure for union employees and the other without?
She’s implying that the memo for the union employees has to be distributed by the union representative to the employees as if we (as management ) don’t have authority to distribute any policies to employees and as if the union employees only have to abide by the terms on their CBA and not any other policies. I’m not a pro regarding management rights when it comes to these matters with the union as this is a first for me and no one else in my organization has ever even thought of creating and distributing an employee handbook or any HR policies to any employees within the 150+ years this organization has been in business
“For union employees, the standards of conduct policy described in this memo do not supersede or otherwise alter any existing CBA” I feel this covers us and allows me to distribute this memo to all employees. My Paychex rep is telling me I should do 2 completely different memos because union employees should only abide by what’s in the union contract. The union contract does not fully specify all of these things. Also, the union rep informed me that “Disciplinary action is usually management rights and the Union reacts by taking the Disciplinary action from management through the grievance procedure outlined in the contract.” I also did some research and referenced a case with Stericycle regarding a related matter. https://www.laborandemploymentlawcounsel.com/2021/03/nlrb-dissent-in-employee-handbook-decision-provides-a-roadmap-for-future-cases-unfortunately/
Thoughts? I don’t see why I should make 2 completely different memos or contracts as all are employees of the organization.
