Wherever and whenever possible the Company shall maintain the principles of a separate crew for fresh fish work and a separate crew for cold storage work (except that in the case of out-of town plants, if it is the practice at a particular plant not to have separate fresh fish and cold storage crews and employees work both in and out of cold storage, the Company concerned shall employ combination fresh fish and cold storage employees who shall be paid the cold storage rate for the total period employed). Should emergencies occur the Company may require fresh fish employees to enter cold storage and employees so employed shall be paid the cold storage rate for all hours during which they are steadily or intermittently employed in the cold storage. (Any fresh fish employees required to enter cold storage more than once during an eight-hour day, or such longer period as may be worked during a day, shall be deemed intermittently employed in cold storage for such day). In no case shall the cold storage qualifying period be utilized to lower the rate of fresh fish workers when employed under the circumstances as outlined herein. If under special or emergency conditions, cold storage employees are required to work sporadically in fresh fish, they shall suffer no reduction in pay. The conditions as stated herein may be varied as the result of mutual agreement between employees and management at a particular plant, provided Headquarters of the Union is notified of such mutual arrangement prior to same being put into effect, in conformity with Article 4.05 of the Master Agreement.
