Article 19: Subcontracting
19.01 a) The granting of contracts, subcontracts, total or partial separation, transfers, or any other form of arrangement must not cause a lay-off, a demotion or a reduction of working hours for the employees governed by the Collective Agreement.
b) Moreover, in no case may the tasks of an abolished position be the subject of a subcontract, total or partial separation, transfer, or any other form of arrangement.
c) The University will favour the creation of new positions rather than sub-contract work of the classes of positions governed by the present Collective Agreement.
