Introduction • Many of our members have been asking about and discussing the 48/96 in the past couple of years and especially over the last several months. • The purpose of this presentation is to present the issues relevant to such a change in our working schedule. 3
Introduction, continued • Any trial period that we would propose to undertake would be ONLY a trial period. • A Vote on the matter would be a ballot vote by giving all members an opportunity to vote, as opposed to a hand vote at a meeting, which could potentially exclude those who are not present. • This is meant to be a fair treatment of the issues by giving all members the opportunity to vote. Questions and comments are welcome from all. 4

Will this affect my ability to do Shift Trades ? • You will be able to do shift trades for the same amount of days under the current MOA 18
Why should management like the 48/96 schedule? • Better workflow and Continuity as a shift works for two days in a row. • Easier to schedule training coverage on second day of shift without the complication of holdovers and delay in coverage we currently experience. 19
Why should management like the 48/96 schedule?...continued • Some daily routines do not need to be repeated such as Shift Change, thus increasing productivity. • 50% reduction in employee vehicle mileage to and from work that could benefit the District and gain AQMD benefits, such as grants for decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. These grants can be used to assist in the purchase of new apparatus and equipment. 20
Why should management like the 48/96 schedule?...continued • Moreover, studies overwhelmingly show a reduction in sick pay usage(for one such study, see article inFire Engineering, 48/96: A Viable Alternative). 21
What about costs to the department? • This is a low cost item with no recurring costs. Anticipated costs would consist of people hours used for initial setup to make telestaff and policy changes. 22

Will the 48/96 change the number of weekend days annually that I need childcare if my spouse works on Saturday and Sunday? • No. • There are 34 weekend days worked annually whether on our present schedule or the 48/96 schedule.
What Happens if One Shift is Scheduled to work both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day ? • If a shift was scheduled to work both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, the shift could be flip-flopped with the one before or after, depending on which shift had to work Thanksgiving. 28
CON • Change! By our nature we are oftentimes hesitant to change. • Every time you go to work it is for 48 hours, resulting in a longer continuous block of time away from your family. • May cause more stress with family routines initially. • Both days of a weekend would be worked 9 times per year • Second of 2 shifts could be more demanding if a busy first shift occurred. • Almost all mandates would mean working a 72. 30
CON • Increase of potential childcare needed from 1-4 days annually if your spouse works Mon-Fri.
PRO • Every time you go home you have 4-Days off in a row. • 8 More full weekends off per year • More overtime days without working a 72 • More overtime days without working a 48 • Better continuity of workflow for two days in a row 32
PRO, con’t • All time with family will be 4 continuous days off. • More 4-Days - 24 More Per year • 8 More total days in segment vacation per year • Commuting miles, time, and costs reduced by 50% due to half the number of miles driven to work. 33
