Question:
The company has undertaken a study of its labor costs. This includes a detailed review of each employee's base pay, overtime pay, and periods of time lost to a variety of personal leaves, e.g. for illness, child care, etc. It has run several models of alternative staffing arrangements that look at: changing the mix of full- and part-time employees; lowering the rates of pay and benefits; and changing the scheduling of work, including the use of flextime and home work. Before it acts in any of these matters, must it:
- Inform its employees, or their representatives, that it is doing so;
- Share all or some of the information the company has generated in support to its proposed changes
- Consult with its employees' representatives before acting to alter any aspect of the status quo; if so,
- For how long (i.e. at what point does that consultation cease); and
- May it act thereafter unilaterally to:
- reduce the wages and/or benefits of current full- and part-time employees;
- adopt a lower wage and benefit scale for newly hired employees; change the mix of full-to part-time by decreasing the former and increasing the latter;
- change the work hours?
