Due to a staff shortage as a result of the aggrieved employee's release from duty to permit
attendance to this Commission meeting, the discussion commenced regarding Livonia Fire
Fighters Union (LFFU) Grievance #747-033, from Daniel Lee, Fire Engineer, concerning call-in
overtime.
Briefly, Union representative Gary Scheske, Fire Fighter, stated that Daniel Lee, Fire Engineer,
missed twenty-four (24) hours of overtime because the contract language conceming overtime
call -out procedure wasn't followed. Mr. Campau inquired how it wasn't followed. Mr. Scheske
stated that the overtime procedure is outlined in Appendix Bl and B4 in the LFFU contract and
that the overtime preference is awarded by position to the most senior employee, with the least
accumulated overtime.
Mr. Tatigian stated that the Fire Chief responded in his letter of September 19, 2003, that in
order to have a grievance, reference must be made to the specific provision of the Agreement,
which was allegedly breached. The letter also refers to the response issued by Captain Arnold
on September 9, 2003 in which Captain Arnold stated he followed the established overtime call -
out procedure. Mr. Scheske agreed the Battalion Chief did go through one eligible unit but he
was unable to find somebody on that unit to work. Overtime was then offered to Driver Conti
and Lt. Sutliff, both of whom had more overtime hours than Dan Lee. Mr. Scheske continued
that Mr. Lee was present at Station 5 that morning and was eligible for preference due to his
lower amount of recorded overtime. Mr. Tatigian briefly clarified that Firefighter Lee's previous
grievance concerning overtime call out was not precedent setting and this grievance would be
considered on it's own merits. He went on to review that the Battalion Chiefs response to this
grievance identified that anybody readily available from the off going shift was asked to work.
Mr. Scheske read Appendix B1 of the contract. He stated that the union's position was that the
call-in procedure required to first call in from the Kelly lists and then, if unsuccessful, by
scanning the overtime list for remaining employee(s) going off shift with the preference granted
to those with the lowest amount of overtime hours. Mr. Scheske stated that Battalion Chief
Arnold went through the list by calling everybody that was on Kelly 1; however, no one
accepted the overtime. In his letter, Battalion Chief Arnold further stated that after going
through the required Kelly lists, he asked Driver Conti and Lt. Sutliff. Mr. Scheske repeated that
Dan Lee was on duty that day and he should have been offered the overtime because of lower
accumulated overtime hours.

Mr. Campau asked to hear the City's response. Chief Brandemihl stated he thought about
asking for reconsideration of Mr. Lee's previous Grievance 747-032, which was heard two
months ago, but due to the untimeliness, he declined to do that. Chief Brandemihl continued
that he wanted to inform the Commission that they based their previous decision upon a
document which reported Dan Lee wasn't called for overtime in a timely fashion. Chief
Brandemihl stated he had no knowledge of that document and that document was a personal
document of then Sr. Captain Gregg Arnold. Chief Brandemihl believed somebody obtained
that document by going through Sr. Captain Arnold's personal effects and he stated he had no
idea that the document was going to be presented. He also stated Senior Captain Arnold had
since been promoted to Battalion Chief. Chief Brandemihl stated Battalion Chief Arnold
understands the call-in procedure and could explain it. Chief Brandemihl explained that the
only obligation was to call two respective Kelly's; Kelly 1X and Kelly 1, and after that, there was
no further contractual obligation. They could have, pursuant to contract, taken equipment out of
service but elected to ask staff on shift to work overtime. Chief Brandemihl summarized
Battalion Chief Arnold decided to see if he could fill that position with individuals on duty and
that the contract was adhered to.
The Commissioners requested a few minutes to read over the labor contract language
referenced in Appendix B1 and B4. Mr. Campau stated that under section B4, Battalion Chief
Arnold shouldn't have been required to do anything more than call Kelly 1X and Kelly 1. Mr.
Scheske stated that the City's obligation for overtime call-in didn't stop with just calling in the
two Kellys, but required to continue going down until the list on both Units was exhausted. He
continued that the person in the position or rank with the least amount of overtime hours going
off duty that morning, which was Dan Lee, should have gotten the overtime opportunity.
Further, he explained the overtime opportunity is equalized throughout all the shifts by following
that procedure. Chief Brandemihl responded that there is no requirement to go beyond calling
the two respective Kelly lists. Mr. Tatigian clarified that Chief was relying on the language in
Appendix B4 that says "If there are no available employees on the shift who are on Kelly days,
then the call-back will be from an employee on the other shift, provided that as a result of
acceptance of said call-back, the employee is not scheduled for three consecutive days of
work." Mr. Campau clarified that article B4 does not go beyond. Mr. Scheske stated that article
B1 kicks in again. Mr. Tatigian continued that he was in agreement with Commissioner
Mahoney that they couldn't compensate people for work they haven't done. Mr. Campau
inquired why other contract language should follow after Appendix B4. Mr. Scheske explained
that the current shift wasn't exhausted, Dan Lee had not been contacted, and that Dan Lee had
been on the same shift as the two employees who had been offered overtime. Mr. Campau
inquired why Dan Lee should have been called before anybody else. Mr. Scheske replied that
Dan Lee had less overtime hours.
Mr. Scheske repeated that in trying to fill the overtime position, Battalion Chief should have
asked employees with the lowest amount of overtime. Mr. Campau inquired where that
language was in the contract. Mr. Scheske replied that it was in Appendix B1. Mr. Tatigian
asked Mary Rutan, Human Resources Director, if Appendix B was part of the original
agreement. Ms. Rutan replied she wasn't sure of the date that Appendix B was added to the
contract. Mr. Scheske added that this was part of the contract that had been added following
Page 4 1199th Regular Meeting Apnl1, 2004
312 arbitration. Ms. Mahoney inquired if the language if Appendix B4 was exhausted, then Item
B1 of the Appendix was applicable. Mr. Scheske stated the contract language didn't end after
Kelly 1 and Kelly 1X were called. Ms. Mahoney clarified there is no specific reference in #4 that
says after completing it, you must follow #1. Battalion Chief Arnold testified that they did
exactly as Mr. Scheske described; they went through the two Kellys, and then it became the
most timely means of getting people to fill these slots on these trucks without consideration of
the number of hours that the employees have in their overtime banks. This resulted in Driver
Conti being called ahead of Dan Lee. Mr. Campau inquired if this was always past practice.
Battalion Chief Arnold responded that it was and that until a determination is made as to the
interpretation, they will slop after the first two Kelly's are called and if there is a manpower
shortage, then a piece of equipment may have to be shut down. Mr. Tatigian discussed the
difference between the two paragraphs with paragraph #4 referring to Kelly days and of closing
down the station, and paragraph #1 referring to particular shifts and overtime call-backs based
on reverse analysis of who has the most overtime and who has the least. Mr. Campau stated
the language in Appendix B1 prevails. Mr. Tatigian inquired where it was that it required call in
of the second shift. Mr. Campau responded it didn't; it just stated that the person with the least
amount of overtime is to be called first. Chief Brandemihl stated when a Firefighter is needed,
they go to the Kelly list that is off, and to the member that has the least amount of overtime
accrued. If a Firefighter or Driver is needed, then they usually go to the individual that has the
least amount of hours first. Mr. Campau inquired what is Kelly 1X and Kelly 1. Chief
Brandemihl clarified both shifts are broken up into Kellys with three Kellys per shift. In this
case, two Kellys are working on any given day so four Kellys are off. Battalion Chief Arnold
distributed a worksheet listing the Kellys and explained that the Kelly that was off that day was
1X, so he called these individuals. A Driver was needed so he checked for Drivers and went to
those with the least amount of overtime hours. That person is called in first, and then he
worked his way through the rest of the list. Ms Mahoney inquired if lists are maintained for all
employees. Battalion Chief Arnold responded that there were. He clarified that Dan Lee and
Joe Conti were not reflected on the two Kelly lists because they were working. After going
through the Kelly 1X and the other unit's Kelly 1, an employee was still needed to ride
equipment so he went to whomever he could get, and Conti was called before Lee. Battalion
Chief Arnold confirmed he did not look at hours once he had been through the two Kelly lists
because they have never done that in the past. Mr. Tatigian inquired if the command officers
discriminated against Fire Fighter Lee or if they showed favoritism by giving overtime to certain
people. Battalion Chief Arnold stated that there was no prejudice or favoritism in making
overtime assignments.
Mr. Scheske stated that twenty-four (24) hours of time and a half was a sizable amount of
money. Mr. Tatigian reiterated that the Battalion Chief stated that he followed the established
procedure. Ms. Mahoney reiterated, from Mr. Lee's previous call-in grievance, that there would
never be a time when she would vote to pay somebody for work they didn't do. Ms. Mahoney
also stated she was concerned that there is a discrepancy between what the Union believes is
the process and what Management has followed as the process and this disparity has to be
corrected.
Battalion Chief Arnold repeated that after he had gone through the two (2) lists, it was past 8:00
a.m. and people were holding over to ensure they had sufficient staff to man the trucks. When
Page 1199th Regular Meeting April 7, 20D4
people are willing to work, they are given overtime. Mr. Campau inquired if there was any
record of who had been called. Battalion Chief Arnold replied that there wasn't, it was just his
word that he called all of the people on the Kelly 1X or Kelly 1. Since this problem arose,
however, they now have a list on which they document who was called, if there was an
answering machine, if the employee had been contacted, or if there was no answer. Ms.
Mahoney clarified that the procedure was just for the Kelly lists and that Management's
interpretation was that paragraph 1B in the Appendix doesn't apply for anything beyond that.
Mr. Scheske again disagreed and stated, the grievant, Dan Lee wished to address the
Commission.
Dan Lee stated he could appreciate how difficult the Battalion Chiefs task was when call -ins
were needed. Mr. Lee continued that the problem was the overtime. He further stated that B1
of the Appendix says "the initial date of the applicable contract, an overtime time list will be
established according to seniority, with the most senior employee being placed at the top of the
list and the least senior employee at the bottom of the list." He continued to read, "Thereafter,
position rotation on the call-back list shall be based upon accumulated charged overtime hours
with eligibility for call-back being first offered to the employee with the least accumulated
Department overtime hours on said list." Mr. Lee explained that Lt. Sutliff had 126-3/. overtime
hours plus 24 hours on the day in question, bringing it up to 150 hours; Driver Conti had 49
hours plus the 24 hours on the day in question, bringing it up to 73. At the time of this call in he
had 48 3/., just below the 49 hours. Mr. Lee staled the call back procedure for the overtime
hours outlined in 31 doesn't say the Battalion Chief has to stop after calling the two Kellys. He
further explained Driver Conti was on his same work schedule and they were both working that
day. Mr. Lee continued that the two gentlemen in question were working at Station 1, and he
was at an outlying station. No phone calls for overtime were made based on the accumulated
hours on that list. Mr. Lee referenced the overtime list that the Battalion Chief had in his office
and stated it was shown to them at the last grievance. Chief Brandemihl requested to know
where the overtime hours sheet came from. Mr. Lee responded that all lists in question were
requested through the shift commander at the time that he asked for them. Chief Brandemihl
inquired who that was. Dan Lee responded that he would have to go back to see who was on
shift that day, but as far as he recalled, it was Captain MacDonald. He also stated that at no
time did any personnel go through anybody's desk drawers and take records.
Mr. Tatigian stated the last sentence in paragraph 4 refers to Section 43, which he assumed
referenced an article in the body of the original contract. Mr. Tatigian continued that Section 43
seemed to be unrelated, "Payment in Lieu of Promotion,' which had no bearing on this issue.
Mr. Tatigian stated the referenced article probably meant Section 45, which reaffirms the
process in B4. Mr. Lee stated Lt. Sutliff worked 72 hours straight, with 48 of those being
overtime and Driver Conti had 24 hours also. Chief Brandemihl assured the Commission that
this situation would not occur again and that safety is always a concern.
Mr. Tatigian summarized he was not convinced that Management did anything wrong.
Ms. Mahoney reiterated both sides need to sit down and clarify this for the public's best interest.
Mr. Campau took exception and stated he believed B1 established the call-in order and B2, B3
and B4 follow.
