USW Local 12775 News, August 25th, 2014: With the high heat levels called for today, we thought it would be a good idea to again share the new negotiated language of the added heat index to the inclement weather language: In any event, it is agreed that when the wind chill is -2 (degrees) F or below, or the temperature alone is 0 (degrees) F, outside work shall be suspended. Work on elevated structures shall be suspended when wind chill is 0 (degrees) F or below, or temperature alone is 5 (degrees) F, or less, or when the heat index is 100 (degrees) or greater. The preceding wind-chill, temperature, and heat index limits will be determined using weather.gov or another mutually agreed to weather information service. The Supervisor and employees shall confer on borderline situations and attempt to reach a mutual agreement. When controversies arise, they shall be disposed of with dispatch and the Grievance Procedure may be immediately employed in so doing.
