Following the conclusion of 1993 negotiations the propriety of opening the Fitness Center on Saturdays will be reviewed. 
If approval for opening the center can be secured for specific trial period the Union will be advised. Usage for the trial period will be audited to determine if a further request for continued Saturday opening of the Fitness Center is warranted.

During 2003 Local Negotiations, the Union requested the that Five-Day Notice procedure from the Master Agreement, Appendix B, be included in the Local Agreement.

In keeping with the plant’s policy of safety, a program will be developed to assure that floor block repairs are conducted in a timely manner and/or are properly identified until this work is performed.

During 1999 Local Negotiations, it was agreed that J-Block floors would be scarfed on an as-needed basis.

The Company will intensify its efforts to reduce these areas to a minimum throughout the plant so as to assure safe working conditions. Complaints will be immediately investigated and prioritized so that prompt action can be taken to eliminate the areas of greatest concern first. An area requiring repair because an imminent danger exists will be immediately reported to supervision and the Senior Safety Engineer, and the area will be blocked off from vehicle/employee traffic upon approval of the Safety Department.

In addition, the Senior Safety Engineer and the Union Health & Safety Representative will conduct periodic surveys of the plant to audit the current condition of floor block repair.
