[IPAC-List] Rehiring Retired Personnel

Two of my favorite people...
Contracts usually spell out promotions within the bargaining unit. If this  
is the contract that encompasses Lt, and Cpt,, they would not be able to 
hire  from outside the bargaining unit (which retirees are) without Union 
approval.  They normally won't give approval because such a move denies internal 
promotion  of active members. Florida law permits such rehiring with 
specific but easily  met conditions, so that aspect is not a problem. Your labor 
relations folks need  to meet with the union and explore conditions under 
which they may give  approval. If there are members who are in the process of 
gaining eligibility  (certifications or years of service) there may need to 
be a promotion  "guarantee" as they meet the requirements.
