**WORK-SOURCING

During the 2003 Local Negotiations, the parties discussed the necessity for proper communication in the event that work is being sent out of the building.  The Company recognizes the importance of notification and agrees to continue to follow the guidelines set forth by the Master Agreement.

The right of the Company to establish and enforce the expected amount of production is recognized. Such expected amount of production shall be fair and equitable and shall be set on the basis of normal working conditions, the quality of workmanship, and the normal working capacities of normal experienced operators, with due consideration to fatigue and the need for “personal” time.

If an employee or his/her Committeeperson requests from his/her supervisor the expected amount of production for an eight (8) hour period, and such a figure has been determined by the Industrial Engineering Department, the employee or his/her Committeeperson will be advised of such figures. If such figures have not been determined, the Industrial Engineering Department will be requested to establish the expected amount of production as soon as possible. This expected amount of production will remain unchanged unless the conditions upon which the original amount of production was established changes.

When a study is to be made for the purpose of establishing a standard, the employee on such job shall be notified at the time the study is to be made. If the employee requests his/her committeeperson, the supervisor will call the committeeperson. When a study is made for purposes other than establishing a standard, the purpose of the study will be made known to a Union representative upon his/her request. Work Standard recap sheets are maintained in the Production Office and are available to the supervisor and Union. at the Bargaining Committee’s request, a review of the elemental breakdown will be provided by an Industrial Engineer to a designated Union Representative.

At the request of the Bargaining Committeeperson, representatives of the Industrial Engineering Office and the Labor Relations Office will be made available to meet and discuss specific work standards complaints.

In addition, when management contemplates discipline for failure to follow instructions, failure to perform, or restricting production, as it relates to the above paragraph, and the Union demonstrates to management that a temporary suspension of action for the purpose of further clarification of the facts is warranted, a suspension for a period of twenty-four (24) hours will be granted.

During 1999 Local Negotiations, the Union expressed concern about dust in the back yard.  The Company is committed to maintaining the area involved and agreed that the yard sweeper would be operated on two shifts, until the issue is adequately addressed.

Complaints, which may arise on occasion, should be directed to the Labor Relations Supervisor for resolution.

In accordance with the understanding reached during 1990 Local negotiations, the Company has stated it will continue to maintain work areas in the yard used for service and/or storage.

Deficiencies will be corrected in a timely manner. Complaints of poor maintenance will be checked by the Union Health & Safety representative and the Company Safety engineer.
