NATURE OF THE BARGAINING UNIT 1.01 The Employer recognizes the Union as the sole and exclusive bargaining agency for all of its employees working at The Fairmont Winnipeg, in the City of Winnipeg, in the Province of Manitoba, save and except the Administrative/Clerical persons employed in the Sales/Marketing and Catering departments, those persons employed in the Engineering/Maintenance, Accounting and Human Resources departments, Security staff, Supervisors, Managers, those above the rank of Supervisor and/or Manager and those excluded by the Act. 1.02 The Employer agrees not to increase the number of Assistant Banquet Managers excluded from the bargaining unit beyond six (6) except for legitimate business reasons.
