Supervision will be re-instructed to provide the Union with a legible copy of the disciplinary action reports.

Except in cases involving unusual circumstances that warrant such action (e.g. safety, critical job, etc.) employees being subjected to discipline will not be formally warned in writing on the #4600 (Disciplinary Action Report) that they may be disqualified...” until the normal progression of penalty imposed is significant.

The Company will establish a program to facilitate the repair of damaged dock plates.

During 1999 Local Negotiations, the Union expressed it's interest to repair all dollies.  The Union also expressed their feelings that the work could be done efficiently and competitively in house.  Therefore the Company has agreed to implement a cost analysis during the first year of this agreement to determine the cost effectiveness and feasibility of performing this work in house. The Company will continue to make every effort to perform this work in house, when feasible and cost-effective. 

Dollies and other material handling containers in need of repair will be removed from service and repaired. Production Control personnel have been assigned the responsibility to remove unsafe dollies on a continuing basis.

Dollies and other material handling containers tagged out for repair must be approved by Production Control before going back into service.

Following the conclusion of Local negotiations, all Industrial Tow Tractor Drivers will be given a safety talk by supervision on the proper procedure for initiating repair to dollies with broken/missing latches on hooks and eyes. Employees will be instructed not to pull dollies with hooks or eyes that are unsafe.
