(2) Phantom Stages" The Union has heretofore, upon request, issued waivers permitting the giving of weather-permitting calls for work on certain stages, such as the so-called "Phantom Stage" at Universal City Studios where rain, wind or hail rendered sound recording unusable. Similarly, waivers have been granted authorizing weather-permitting calls when caused by fog, wind, rain or hail on uncovered, tarpaulin-covered or open structures. It is agreed that weather-permitting calls within the limits provided by the Agreement may be given to performers on such or similar stages and on open or uncovered structures when the making of usable sound track is rendered impossible because of rain, wind or hail, or when usable photography on an uncovered structure is rendered impossible by fog, wind, rain or hail. Disputes which may arise hereunder are subject to arbitration.
