What do we mean by per diem workers?
These are folks that do not have a set schedule at the employer. They can pick up shifts for one week, not work for a month, and then suddenly work another shift or two. They are not part time workers. They are at will. In addition, this is meant for Top-Down Processing Units ONLY.
Right now, we know there are at least two CWA represented groups that fall into this category:
- Healthcare workers
- Substitute teachers
This classification MAY apply to some other PU’s but generally is not appropriate for “seasonal” units or other units representing those in a school system.
