Additional Work or Classifications. This Agreement shall not prevent the Individual Employer from negotiating or making agreements with the Union for any work or classification not covered by this Agreement. Whenever any work covered by this Agreement is to be eliminated or modified by the introduction of any new machine, mechanized process, new or different material, or new or different method or technology with respect to the performance of such work, persons employed under this Agreement and subject thereto, will be given preference for employment and will be assigned such work where it is not in conflict with International jurisdictional agreements with respect to such new machine, mechanized process, new or different materials, or new or different method or technology and the use of any such machine, mechanized process, new or different material, or new or different method or technology shall be subject to and covered by this Agreement regardless of the nature, size or characteristics of such new machine, mechanized process, new or different material or new different method or technology. It is not the intent of the parties to provide work where no job exists.
Additional Work or Classifications. This Agreement contemplates that new types of equipment will be developed to which present classifications and rates contained in Section 4(A) are not clearly applicable. When such new equipment falls within the established jurisdiction of the Union the work on such new equipment shall be assigned to the Union in accordance with Section 1B of this Agreement. When such new equipment is developed, the Committee and Association will promptly negotiate an appropriate rate for its operation. The Collective Bargaining Representative of Employer and the Union will each establish a standing committee to conduct such negotiations. Such committees will meet within three (3) days after written request from either party accompanied by photograph and pertinent catalog data on the equipment or other data, and agree to a rate and classification within five (5) days from the date of notice unless the parties mutually agree to extend the time, which rate and classification and working rule shall be added to and become part of said Section 4(A) of this Agreement, as of the date of the written request. While such negotiations are under way the equipment will be operated at a temporary classification and rate. The permanent rate, classifications and working rule, when established, will be paid retroactively to the date of the initial productive operation of the equipment on the job. The terminal point of any dispute involving additional work classification shall be handled by arbitration in accordance with Section 10(A).
