The Company will review the Union’s complaints with the exterminating service vendor to assure correction of any deficiencies in the current pest control procedures. In addition to the semi-monthly exterminating service which is presently provided, special attention will be given to the Break Areas and the Cafeteria.

Should the above action not prove to be adequate, the request that a specific break area be fumigated will be carried out at a time when it can be properly vacated and secured without interrupting our normal operations.

OUTSIDE

Following the conclusion of 1979 Local Negotiations, the Company will institute an insect control procedure. This will include spraying of outside areas adjacent to the plant, including the powerhouse area, during the summer months when conditions permit. Complaints regarding this subject will be promptly investigated by Safety and appropriate action taken.

REST ROOMS

Plant rest rooms receive regular attention from the pest control service. All plant rest rooms are sprayed for pest control as needed.

In confirmation of our discussions during Local negotiations, it is understood that operation of the Jig Borer and Jig Grinder is assigned to the All Around Heavy Machine Operator classification.

In a continuing effort to resolve Health and Safety complaints, two (2) Company Representatives, one of whom will be an appropriate member of management, will be available upon request to meet with the Union Health and Safety Representative and one other full-time Union Representative. The Union Representative will submit an agenda of the complaints to be discussed forty-eight (48) hours prior to the meeting. The Company agrees to provide the Union Health and Safety Representative with written disposition of the complaints discussed.

It being understood that, in the event that, on occasion, the Union has a specific reason for an additional Union Representative to be in attendance, such request for deviation will be honored.

During 1999 Local Negotiations, it was agreed that the Company and Union will establish a cross-shift, joint safety awareness committee.  The committee will develop and sponsor monthly safety awareness promotional events.

During 1979 Local Negotiation discussions, the Union expressed concern that an insufficient number of ladders were available and/or ladders were not being returned to the appropriate ladder stations.

To insure that an adequate number of ladders are available and to facilitate the return of ladders to the appropriate ladder station, the Company agrees that:

1. A joint survey of ladders will be conducted and ladders will be provided at each designated ladder station.
   
2. Ladders will be stenciled to identify the ladder station that they should be returned to after use.
