Proceedings of Board of Commissioners No. 259 City of Paducah October 11, 1977 The next business to come before the Board was the hearing of the grievance filed by Local 1586, wherein Harry Wright and Ronnie Moore, equipment operators in the Refuse Department and currently working on the landfill, recently had their hours -of work changed from 6: 30 a.m. to 3: 00 p.m. to 8: 00 a.m. to 5: 00 p . m ; which deleted their one and one-half hours of overtime daily and which amounted to approximately $50.00 per week per employee. The relief these two employees sought was that they be paid for one and one-half hours of overtime for each work day since the date of the change through today, because of the violation of the contract by management in not notifying the Union this change would be taking place, and only giving the men involved one day's notice of the change in working hours. Mayor Pro -tem Brumley outlined the two problems as follows: 1. City failed to recognize Union by not notifying the Executive Board of the change in working hours; and 2. Whether the City acted in violation of the contract in changing the working hours of the two employees. James Shaw, a foreman in the Refuse Department, stated there was work for the men when they started work at 6: 30 a.m. , because the front-end loader truck started work at 4: 00 a.m., and it was already unloaded ready for the men when they reported at 6: 30 a.m. Mr. Tidwell stated he did not know when the practice of the overtime started, but that state law requires the City to cover all refuse daily, therefore the operators must work until 5: 00 p.m. Only by working until 5: 00 p.m. can this be properly accomplished. Commissioner Puryear offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Grumley, that Grievance No. 1 be denied. Adopted on call of the Roll, Yeas, Commissioners Grumley, Hornsby, Puryear and Mayor Pro -tem Brumley (4) . Mayor Pro -tem Brumley offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Puryear, that Grievance No. 2 be denied. Adopted on call of the Roll, Yeas, Commissioners Grumley, Hornsby, Puryear and Mayor Pro -tem Brumley (4) . Commissioner Puryear offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Hornsby, that the Board retire to executive session to discuss the upcoming retirement and/or extension for the City's Public Works Director, who will reach retirement age next month. Adopted on call of the Roll, Yeas, Commissioners Grumley, Hornsby, Puryear and Mayor Pro -tem Brumley (4) . Upon conclusion of the executive session, the Board reconvened in the Commission Chamber, whereupon Mayor Pro -tem Brumley announded there was no further business.
