RE: NEGOTIATIONS. For reasons of convenience the parties agree to joint bargain in the next round of negotiations. All bargaining units which exist as of June 10, 1999 will be entitled to participate. Prior to joint negotiations the parties agree that the proposals for each bargaining unit will be exchanged at each location between the Company and the Union’s negotiating committee from that store. Items of a local nature will be identified by both parties. Following the exchange of proposals at each location the parties will meet in joint negotiations. The union will be entitled to select one employee from each bargaining unit to sit on the joint negotiating committee. The Company agrees to pay the store representatives for all regular hours spent attending negotiations with the Company up to 7.5 hours per day for a maximum of 8 days, unless otherwise agreed. While the parties agree to joint bargaining, it is understood that each bargaining unit remains separate and distinct and separate memorandums of settlement, subject to distinct ratification, by each bargaining unit, will be entered into by the parties.
