Miscellaneous Rules 1 The provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to restrict in any manner any exclusion, exemption, deduction, credit, or other allowances now or hereafter accorded: (a) by the laws of a Contracting State in the determination of the tax imposed by that State; or (b) by any other agreement entered into by a Contracting State.
GENERAL AND MISCELLANEOUS (a) Subject to applicable law, reasonable smoking and refreshments during hours of duty will be permitted in designated areas, provided an employee shall not leave the job to indulge in such smoking and refreshments without permission. (b) The Company agrees that there shall be no established maximum age limit in the hiring of employees. (c) As appropriate, staff shall be provided with customer contact uniforms or workwear to the specifications stated in the Company’s Uniform regulations without cost to the employee. Employees losing such garments shall be required to replace same at their own expense. When an employee leaves the service of the Company, such garments will be returned to the Company. Employees required to wear a uniform must report for the start of their shift in uniform. British Airways will assist in the laundering and cleaning of uniforms in the following manner: 1. Each affected employee will receive by December 15th of each year the sum of $250.00 to cover all cleaning and laundering costs incurred during the year. This amount will be pro-rated for employees who may have worked less than a full year. Employees assigned to Special Services will be eligible to receive such payment. 2. This allowance shall not apply to employees whose uniforms are presently being delivered or laundered at Company expense by an out- side cleaning service. Employees who wear uniforms which are laundered by the Company will be issued a minimum of five (5) shirts and two (2) pairs of trousers each week. 3. This reimbursement shall not apply to extraordinary expenses such as repairs or alterations. 4. British Airways reserves the right to change this procedure by contracting with a service which will provide cleaning and laundering of entire uniforms at Company expense. Such change would be made at the beginning of the calendar year. (d) A place shall be provided inside all Company shops and hangars marked “International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers” where Union notices of interest to the employees will be posted; however, no political circulars, propaganda or advertisements will be placed on these bulletin boards. (e) The Company shall provide each employee covered by this Agreement with a copy of the Agreement printed in a Union shop and bound in a convenient pocket-size booklet. (f) It is understood and agreed that the Company will not lock out any employee covered hereby, and the Union will not authorize or take part in any strike, or picketing of Company premises during the life of this Agreement, until the procedures for settling disputes as provided herein, and as provided by the Railway Labor Act as amended, have been exhausted. (g) The Chairperson of Shop Stewards across all Agreements shall be scheduled to work within the operation four hours per day. The other four hours, per day, of his/her work day he/she shall be considered over and above the normal requirements for that shift and he/she will be free to conduct union related affairs under the Agreements and in so doing will get clearance from his/her Section Head or his designee to enter work areas. However, it is understood that the provisions of Article I (b) will apply relative to such activities. For purposes of disciplinary hearings, an employee may request the Chairperson of Shop Stewards, provided the Chairperson is from the employee’s respective contract, or the Chief Shop Xxxxxxx from their respective contract to act as their representative. The representative will be released from duty to attend the hearing, subject to operational requirements, paid for lost straight time hours and, if required, provided with free space available travel in line with agreed pass policies. The hearing will be rescheduled as necessary until such time as the Company can release the representative from duty. (h) The IAM Negotiating Committee may consist of two employee representatives per contract. The President & Directing General Chairperson of District 142 will be the one who determines whether it will be one or two representatives per contract. British Airways will pay the wages of one (1) union representative per contract during negotiations, but not overtime. Expenses will be the responsibility of the IAM. When Shop Stewards or other employees wish to undertake union activities at the request of the IAMAW, the Company, subject to operational requirements and without pay, will endeavor to release them. (i) Any employee leaving the service of the Company will, on request, be furnished with a letter setting forth the individual’s qualifications and length of service. (j) If new equipment is put into service by the Company, employees shall be given every opportunity to become familiar with the new equipment without change in classification. (k) British Airways will handle Caledonian Airways flights that operate to JFK. At stations outside JFK manned by employees covered by this Agreement, BA will bid to handle Caledonian Airways on a competitive basis who will be free to accept the most competitive bid. Caledonian Airways flights to other destinations will not be handled by British Airways. Any charter flights operated by BA to manned on-line stations will be handled by employees covered by this Agreement. Flights into locations not manned by BA shall be handled at the Company’s discretion. (l) All Ops II qualified staff in Customer Service will be provided with route familiarization flights subject to Company requirements. The Company reserves the right to select the route to be flown. However every effort will be made to select the route which will provide the optimum amount of applicable experience. (m) Full-time employees will be permitted to engage in an outside profession, trade, or business while employed by British Airways. Full-time employees who wish to engage in outside profession, trade or business while employed by British Airways will be required to: (1) Provide to the People Department written notice of their secondary employer details (name of secondary employer/company, address and telephone contact, and number of hours regularly scheduled to work) prior to starting the new job/occupation. (2) Employees who are absent from work due to illness, short or long term disability or occupational injury may not engage in a secondary occupation without permission from the People Department.

Miscellaneous Terms and Conditions 11.1 Nothing contained in this Amendment shall be deemed: (a) to obligate Verizon to offer or provide unbundled access to any UNE (whether as a stand-alone UNE, as part of a combination, or otherwise) that was not already available to Customer under the Agreements prior to this Amendment, (b) to obligate Verizon to offer or provide unbundled access at rates prescribed under Section 251(c)(3) of the Act to any facility that is or becomes a Discontinued UNE, whether as a stand-alone UNE, as part of a combination, or otherwise or (c) to limit any right of Verizon under the Agreement (independent of this Amendment), any Verizon tariff or SGAT, or otherwise, to cease providing a Discontinued UNE, whether as a stand-alone facility, as part of a combination, or otherwise. 11.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, and without limiting any existing rights Verizon may have to cease providing UNEs that are discontinued under Applicable Law, in the event that the FCC determines or has determined (whether by forbearance of existing rules, a rule change or otherwise) that Verizon is not required to provide any UNEs contained in the Amended Agreements beyond the UNEs specifically addressed in this Amendment, then Verizon (to the extent it has not already done so prior to execution of this Amendment) may implement such discontinuation by notifying Customer and/or by publishing notice of such discontinuation on Verizon’s wholesale website, and no amendment to the Amended Agreement shall be required for such purposes. Any such notice that Verizon issues (or has issued) shall address, among other things, the date on which new orders are disallowed and any transition period that is required for the embedded base (which shall be at least 90 (ninety) days unless the FCC requires a longer transition period for the embedded base). After the end of any such transition period, Customer’s embedded base of the subject UNE will be treated as a Discontinued UNE under Section 10 above.
