OPENING AND CLOSING OF CENTERS OR HUBS.

Failure by the Employer to give such notice to the affected Local Union(s) will delay the planned change until such notice has been given. During this joint meeting the Employer and the Union shall reduce to writing all agreed upon issues and both parties shall sign the written document in acknowl- edgement acknowledgement of such agreement. The parties shall also reduce to writ- ing writing all unresolved issues, if any, and they shall be referred directly to the appropriate Regional Change of Operations Committee. The change may not be implemented until the forty-five (45) days notice is provided and the meeting is completed unless the operational change is dictated by emergency conditions. The Union shall not unreasonably delay the scheduling or completion of the requested meeting. Any unresolved issues reflected in Section (C) below, which has been reduced to writing, will be resolved pursuant to that Section. (B) Should a dispute arise by one (1) or more of the affected Local Union(s), the dispute will be heard by the appropriate Regional Change of Operations Committee for the possible resolution before the end of the forty-five (45) day notification period when possible. Neither party will unreasonably delay such Regional Change of Operations Committee meeting but regardless, the Company’s change will take effect as scheduled.
