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.

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).
