June 9, 2010
This morning we met with NV Energy representatives to discuss the affects of the recent Layoff and Demotion process and the progress of the option preferences expressed by employees.
As this process unfolds we have found that two vacancies were not listed as preferences by any affected employees. As a result, and in an attempt to avoid layoff we have agreed to a modified bidding process which will put the following positions up to bid for all employees in the Electric Occupational Group.
- Troubleman-Tonopah
- Troubleman-Elko
These positions will be open immediately and will close on Monday June 14 at 5:00pm. Successful bidders will have until 12:00 noon on Tuesday June 15th to accept the position.
If you are interested in either of these positions please contact your supervisor immediately.
Also simultaneous posting of the following positions will occur:
- Foreman Line Working-Carson City
- Troubleman-Carson City
- These positions will be limited to bidders from the Carson City Headquarters.
- Troubleman-Reno
- Troubleman-Reno
- These positions will be limited to bidders from the Reno Headquarters.
These positions will be open immediately and will close on Monday June 14 at 5:00pm. Successful bidders will have until 12:00 noon on Tuesday June 15th to accept the position. These four positions in Carson City and Reno may or may not be filled when the options are finalized, but are going out to employees in those respective yards to be prepared for the outcome of the final option sheets.
If you are interested in any of these positions please contact your supervisor immediately.
With these bids the process should be completed by June 16, 2010 and the last volunteer should be identified and severed by the end of the day June 30, 2010.
Respectfully,
Randy Osborn
