Charles Locke, President, AFSCME Union Local 192, presented AFSCME Union Local 192
Grievance #10-30, dated October 28, 2010, from DPW employees, regarding a change in
shift starting time and explained that during the last negotiation meeting, Mr. Maillard,
Director of Public Works, announced he was changing the shift time. The Union believes
this decision was arbitrary and without research as to how it would affect DPW employees.
The Union came up with a few statistics and stated a majority of accidents in Livonia on
surface streets occur between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00
p.m. He stated according to Sgt. Gibbs, from the Livonia Police Department, it is safer to be
setting up on work sites on major roads before traffic is at its heaviest. Mr. Locke continued
by stating the second highest traffic volume periods occur between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.
Seven (7) percent of the daily traffic or an average of 1,100 cars per hour travel on our
surface roads during this time. The evening drive from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. is slightly
higher at eight (8) percent. If the new shift time were implemented, City crews would
increase both of the traffic flows because they would be putting additional vehicles on the
roads and work crews would be out there. Mr. Locke indicated there are more personal
injury accidents after 8:00 a.m. than before 8:00 a.m. and there is no correlation between the
time of year and the amount of daylight or darkness.
Mr. Locke explained that there are a total of 36 working days in a 12 month period when
there is not enough working daylight, dawn, before 7:30 a.m. He explained that daylight
savings time helps correct this situation and that if there is not enough natural light to work
by, there is more than an adequate amount of artificial lighting equipment for employees to
Page 1278th Regular Meeting November 17, 2010
be productive. Also, according to Mr. Locke, contrary to the new shift time, there is a DPW
policy in the month of April, wherein lawn repairs begin at 4:30 a.m. and this continues
through October, so there are employees that are scheduled to work when it is pitch black.
This is in contradiction to the argument that it is safer or somehow more productive for
employees to be scheduled to work at 7:30 a.m.
Mr. Locke added the employees have been starting their shift at 7:00 a.m. for at least 22
years that he knew of. Mr. Locke spoke with a 30 -year employee who also stated as long as
he has been employed with the City of Livonia, other than when he was a part-time
Custodian at night, they have started at 7:00 a.m. The article in the contract goes back
before the time that Daylight Savings Time began. Mr. Locke stated that Mr. Maillard
referenced Wayne County hours and Mr. Maillard thinks it is a good idea for the City of
Livonia to follow these hours. Mr. Locke referenced the November 3, 2010 City Council
meeting resolution by Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Meakin which indicated dissatisfaction with the
slow progress and the disruption of affected businesses and residents by contractors
working on the Wayne County Middlebelt Road construction project.
Mr. Locke stated that Mr. Maillard proposed employees begin work at 7:30 a.m. but that
would disrupt the lives of Livonia residents. Mr. Locke stated he repaired water main breaks
and referenced three recent water main breaks and if he began work at 7:30 a.m. the
second main break would have been attended to thirty (30) minutes later in the day and
while that doesn't seem like a significant amount of time, a water break can do significant
damage. By starting the shift at 7:00 a.m. they were able to get to the second water break in
a timely fashion and both breaks were repaired by 3:30 p.m. If they had started work at 7:30
a.m. it would have been at the earliest 4:00 p.m. when they finished. Mr. Locke further
explained that just last Monday he worked on another water break until 7:45 p.m. and it was
pitch black during that time and they managed to complete the repair in a safe manner. The
Union believes Mr. Maillard's intentions may be good, however, they don't think they are
relative and they don't think they should change the working hours that have been in effect
for the last 25 or 30 years. He added that employees know the shift and they schedule their
lives around that.
Mr. Maillard, Director of Public Works stated he did meet with the Union and he told them
that the changes were being promulgated based on operational needs. The fact that
employees are starting work in total darkness. There is no reason to have the normal
working operations begin in the dark. The Department's research showed that they are the
only agency that works from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for twelve (12) months a year. He
differed from Mr. Locke stating that at one time there used to be a 7:30 a.m. starting time,
but it was changed to a summer timeframe for the workers because they had a full eight (8)
hours of sunlight between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Mr. Maillard reiterated his decision was
based on operational needs and safety reasons. He agreed that employees do a lot of work
on county primary roads. Mr. Maillard stated there are 195 days a year in which the sun
comes up after 7:00 a.m. and he agreed that for water main breaks and for snow and ice
operations, employees do have to work in the dark, but for the normal work that DPW
employees perform, it made no sense to have people work an extra half-hour in the dark
when they don't have to. He reiterated that other agencies have a shift time of 7:30 a.m. to
4:00 p.m. and in accordance with Management Rights, it made no sense for them to work
7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m, and that is why they told the Union their intention was to change the
Page 10 1270th Regular Meeting November 17, 2010
starting time, but they held off until this Civil Service Commission meeting. He advised that
this concept was also presented to 1917 but they opted not to file a grievance.
Mr. Locke stated 1917 didn't file a grievance because 192 did and there would be no point in
having the same grievance presented. Mr. Locke stated Mr. Maillard is looking at the issue
differently and that there is a difference between sunrise and daylight.
Mr. Tatigian stated the DPW employees have been working from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for a
long time. Mr. Tatigian inquired if there had been any accidents to report that supports the
contention that it is safer to begin work a half-hour later, to which Mr. Maillard replied no.
Mr. Tatigian stated he couldn't remember a time when the shift for DPW employees was
different and he began work for the City in 1963. Mr. Tatigian noted the number of DPW
employees in attendance at the meeting because they are opposed to this change and
asked Mr. Maillard if the City would be that much further ahead by changing the shift time.
Mr. Maillard couldn't understand why the employees are so unhappy with a half-hour change
in shift. Mr. Maillard believed for operational reasons it was better for the employees to start
work when there is more daylight.
Ms. Mahoney asked when employees show up at 7:00 a.m. do employees go immediately to
the site or is there a half-hour or so preparation time before getting to the site? Mr. Maillard
responded the preparation time is the same. Ms. Mahoney wanted to know if the issue was
coming in at 7:30 a.m. or if the issue was having to slay a half-hour later in the afternoon.
Mr. Locke staled his issue was working later in the afternoon.
Ed Hoffman, Equipment Operator II, Roads Department, stated the employees of the City of
Livonia don't need to compare themselves to other municipalities. He explained this would
impact him because he has to pick up his son at 4:15 p.m. in Howell. He would have to use
sick time or vacation time, and he can only take vacation in 4 hour increments, so there is a
half a day when the City can't utilize him. If he used Personal Business leave, he would
have to take that in 2 -hour increments.
Audrey Young, Equipment Operator II, Roads Department, stated she picks up her
granddaughter three (3) times a week. She gets out at 3:30. Audrey stated she gets there
by 3:40 p.m. Last year they weren't called in a lot to salt the roads, so when they go in at
7:00 a.m., they go out right away to salt the secondary roads and it makes it safer for the
school buses. If they come in at 7:30 a.m. it makes it even later and more dangerous. Mr.
Locke slated the 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. shift works. He stated the DPW employees are
already running short-staffed and they are being asked to take concessions.
Ms. Mahoney asked Mr. Maillard what "operational needs" meant. Mr. Maillard explained it
was productivity basically. Mr. Maillard agreed there is a good staff and they do a very good
job. He stated when he comes into work he observes the staff leave at 7:15 a.m. or 7:30
a.m. He further explained that for a lot of the operations the crews go into residential areas
and doing work very early in the morning. It is simply that there is more daylight and when
they are on the street it is almost daylight at that point. He also explained they are only
talking about a few months of the year, not the entire year. Mr. Maillard stated he heard the
concerns about day care but these are the employees who work overtime during leaf pickup
and who work snow and ice removal and all employees have to make accommodations.
Page 11 1278th Regular Meeting November 17, 2010
Mr. Campau inquired if Mr. Maillard took into consideration all the workers who don't want to
change the shift. Mr. Maillard stated he would be happy to work with them when they go into
daylight savings time in April through Labor Day to switch it back when it makes more sense.
Mr. Tatigian stated he thought Department Heads ought to be able to run their own
departments and never questioned that, but on this one occasion where the contract
provides that the Commission has influence on something that involves the employees he
didn't think there was a strong enough case to justify making a change in the hours of these
employees.
Upon a motion by Mr. Tatigian, seconded by Mr. Campau and unanimously adopted, it was
10-418 RESOLVED, That having reviewed AFSCME Union Local 192
Grievance #1030, dated October 28, 2010, from DPW employees, regarding a
change of shift starting time, and having discussion with Charles Locke,
President, AFSCME Union Local 192; Kevin Maillard, Director of Public Works;
Ed Hoffman, Equipment Operator II; and Audrey Young, Equipment Operator II,
the Civil Service Commission does hereby grant the grievance to continue the
existing hours, because the employees are inconvenienced by this, not because
the Department was acting arbitrarily or in a capricious manner.
Upon a motion by Mr. Tatigian, seconded by Mr. Campau and unanimously adopted, it was
RESOLVED, That the meeting be adjourned at 6:00 p.m.
