Organizational Collaborative Process
The OCP Mission
The Organizational Collaborative Process (OCP) is a robust and comprehensive labor management program that helps to create a work environment that provides the highest level of service while maintaining healthy and safe working conditions for our members. We like to think of ourselves as two sides of the same coin and strive to find solutions to our problems together. The OCP is a collaboration between the UGFF Local 4005 and the Goodyear Fire Department, with each side having a co-chair within each committee and sub-committee.
Committees
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is co-chaired by President Dan Freiberg with Fire Chief Paul Luizzi. This committee receives all final work and recommendations from the sub-committees and either puts them into Department policy, directive, or practice; or pushes them back down for more work based on a lack of consensus.
OCP Leadership Team
The OCP Leadership team serves as a clearinghouse between the sub-committees and the Executive Committee. The OCP LT ensures that only completed and fully vetted work makes its way to the Executive Committee. They serve as oversight of all sub-committees and ensure that co-chairs at other levels have the resources and perspectives necessary to make recommendations through the process.
The OCP Leadership Team consist of Orion Godfrey, Local 4005 Co-chair and Operational Trustee and John Boyce, Local 4005 Co-chair and Support Services Trustee.
Subcommittees
Deployment
The Deployment Subcommittee is responsible for all operational decisions within the Goodyear Fire Department. They work to ensure the fair and equitable distribution of overtime, while also ensuring that minimum staffing levels are met, and all operational policies satisfy the needs of the public and our members.
