Common use of PREFACE Clause in Contracts

PREFACE. At Kingston Works both parties to this Agreement have attempted to build an approach to the operation of the plant that is different from the traditional approach for large industrial organizations. This approach is based on the belief that conscientious employees, properly informed, carrying out their duties in an intelligent manner, are the best assurance of an effective operation. Such an operation, built on internal support by its own people, can best fill the needs of our customers and the shareholders. Thus, both parties to this Agreement have worked together to set up plant procedures which reflect these convictions and which give freedom to employees to discharge their responsibilities without unnecessary restrictions. This approach, and the response of employees to it, made it possible some years ago to eliminate time clocks. Later on, the traditional hourly pay system was discontinued and since that date all employees at Kingston Works have been paid on a salaried basis. More recently, mutual cooperation has resulted in both parties recognizing that employee involvement enhances our vested interest in Kingston Works and provides an environment for continuous improvement. Both parties take pride in the progress that has already been made in developing an improved working climate which benefits both the employee and the company. We intend to continue our efforts that combine opportunity and challenge for the individual while moving toward our objective of excellence and preferred supplier status. BETWEEN hereinafter called the "Company" OF THE FIRST PART, -and- hereinafter called the "Union" OF THE SECOND PART
