Establishment of New Jobs. When work operations involving new or substantially changed requirements are established after the effective date of this Agreement and such requirements are not adequately or specifically described in an existing job, the Company will describe and establish a new job in a labor grade based upon its use of the Classification Guides and Representative Jobs referred to in Section 13.10 by notifying the IAM Overall Coordinator and the Directing Business Representative at each major location of its action. If, forty-five (45) days after receipt of such notification of the establishment of the new job, the Union has not requested negotiation of the labor grade on the ground that pursuant to Section 13.10 the job should be in a different labor grade, the job will become permanent. The parties shall discuss the job description and changes shall be made by the Company in response to negotiation with the Union in the interest of clarity, better understanding or to more properly describe the way the work is organized; however, the organization of the work shall not be affected. If the labor grade is changed, such change will be retroactive to the date of installation by the Company. In the event that the parties are unable to reach agreement on the labor grade such dispute may be submitted to arbitration under Section 13.9. However, neither the organization of work nor the determination of the job duties shall be subject to arbitration and the arbiter shall not have authority to alter a job description.
