1.03 The Employer shall provide the Union with a list containing the current names, social insurance numbers, classifications and rates of pay of all bargaining unit employees, whenever a written request to do so is received from the Union. The Union agrees that it will not make such request more often than once in a calendar year.
1.04 The parties recognize that employees of the Employer in supervisory positions, or above the rank of Supervisor, may (when the situation so requires) help employees covered by this collective agreement in order to maintain the quality of service to customers, and in this case may also perform work currently done by current employees of the bargaining unit. Such work must not, however, cause the elimination of any position now covered in the collective agreement.
(a) will not apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an employee of the Employer working in a position not covered by the collective agreement, may continue work presently being performed but shall not assume additional duties if this would cause the elimination of a position now covered in the collective agreement.
