The AGENCY proposed that--

[T]he Class A uniform remain the only authorized uniform to be worn in the [Special Housing Unit] on all shifts for both positions, but employees would not be required to wear a tie or a blazed. For those limited instances where an employee's uniform might become soiled, the Employer would "provide a jumpsuit for staff to utilize when searching the cells, serving meals, or as an option to protect the Class A uniform."

The UNION proposed that--

[T]he [Officer-in-Charge] would have the option of wearing the grey uniform on the evening and morning shifts, but continue to wear the dress uniform during the day shift. The Number Two officer would continue to wear the dress uniform regardless of the shift.

The PANEL ordered the parties to adopt the AGENCY's proposal.
