I Preamble. Implementation and duration
I Preamble. In connection with the negotiations on the collective agreement for the insurance industry, the parties agreed to introduce the right to a number of care days as per 1 January 1998. Because there are a number of unclarified issues in connection with the care days, the FA and the DFL have jointly prepared these guidelines.
I Preamble. The Company, Union and employees at the Edmonton Operations agree that it is in the overall best long term interests of all concerned to ensure they provide maximum quality and service to their Customers. To that end it is their intent to implement more flexible Hours of Work and Shift Schedule arrangements (currently in operation at the Company’s Plate Processing Center located at Nisku), which will enable the operation of the Edmonton facilities on a seven (7) day work week, twenty-four (24) hours a day, two (2) twelve (12) hour shift basis. The parties understand and agree that the operation of these hours of work and shift arrangements may be either total or partial in nature with respect to the Edmonton operations, depending upon the business conditions affecting these operations. The provisions of this Appendix apply only to those bargaining unit employees otherwise covered by this Collective Agreement who are assigned to work this alternative Shift Schedule and Hours of Work, for the period they are so assigned. Any provision of the Collective Agreement not specifically dealt with by the terms of this Appendix will continue to apply to employees assigned to work this alternative Shift Schedule and Hours of Work in the same manner as it does for other bargaining unit employees.
I Preamble. The Harmful Pollutants Annex (Annex 2) addresses both past (legacy) and on- going sources of pollution in the Great Lakes Basin, focusing on principles of pollution reduction and prevention to achieve the vision of a healthy, prosperous and sustainable Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem. Annex 2 takes a substance and/or sector approach to reduce and prevent releases throughout the Basin and seeks to virtually eliminate persistent bioaccumulative toxic substances, such as Tier 1 substances. Work in this annex is linked to activities elsewhere in the Agreement that address harmful pollutants on a local (Annex 1), lakewide or drinking water source (Annex 3) basis. Harmful pollutant issues identified in the other annexes are referred to Annex 2 if a substance- or sector-based approach is warranted. Based on the 2005 release inventory, significant reductions in releases have been achieved for Tier 1 substances through work under the 1994 and 2002 Canada-Ontario Agreements Respecting the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem and the Canada-U.S. Great Lakes Binational Toxics Strategy, namely: Benzo(a)pyrene: 52% since 1988 Dioxins & Furans: 89% since 1988 Hexachlorobenzene: 73% since 1988 Mercury: 86% since 1988 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs): 89% since 1993 Notwithstanding these significant reductions, further efforts are required to address the last remaining sources of Tier 1 substances. This can be challenging since they may be widely dispersed and/or have sources outside the Basin. Similar challenges are faced in addressing Criteria Air Pollutants (associated with smog formation). Our current emphasis is on the development of policies and programs that address these challenges. Another challenge is how to address the many other chemical substances present in the Great Lakes Basin, such as Tier 2 substances and substances of emerging concern, which may be impacting human health or the environment. Categorization of substances under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, as well as research and monitoring by federal and provincial governments, has identified many substances that require further assessment and action. This Annex brings this information together to prioritize actions with appropriate sectors in the Basin and in response to the priorities established under Annex 3. Additionally, because many substances of emerging concern are present in, or as, consumer products, efforts will include education and outreach to Great Lakes communities to reduce exposure...
