Employment Stabilization. Section 1 The parties recognize that the exercise by the Company of its unabridged right to manage the Company and direct the work force, which includes, but is not limited to, the right to subcontract and make technological improvements and changes in methods, processes or means of performing work, including changes in who performs certain tasks or duties and the facility at which they are performed, will result in the tasks traditionally performed by Union represented employees becoming unnecessary, being eliminated, being subcontracted, being relocated to other Company owned facilities, or being absorbed within positions held by non Union represented employees. The parties recognize that in order to achieve the cost, quality, and delivery goals essential for the survival of the Company and in order to bring about the flexibility and productivity necessary to achieve such goals, the employees covered by this Agreement must not fear loss of employment as a result of technological improvements and/or changes in the methods, processes or means of performing work, including changes in who performs certain tasks or duties, where they are performed, or the use of subcontractors. Rather employees must support such improvements and changes. Accordingly, in exchange for the employees’ and the Union’s (1) recognition of the need to change and improve the way work is performed; (2) its commitment to actively support such changes; and (3) its agreement to cooperate fully in implementing and supporting technological improvements and/or changes in methods, processes or means of performing work, including changes in who performs certain tasks or duties and/or where they are performed, the Company agrees as follows: The Company will be relieved of its commitment in this regard only if (1) catastrophic circumstances such as an act of God or Government (e.g. earthquake, tornado, flood, fire, explosion, environmental regulations, etc.) or labor strike precludes operation or resumption of operations; and/or (2) the Company totally discontinues manufacturing operations in Indianapolis. The Company’s commitment does not preclude discipline, including suspension or discharge, of an employee for proper cause; or dismissal of an employee who because of illness or injury is unable for a period of one (1) year to perform the essential work functions of a Technical Associate, with or without reasonable accommodation.
