Training Programs All employees shall successfully complete all necessary training prior to being assigned work (e.g., all employees will complete health and safety training prior to being assigned to task).

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the EMPLOYERS may discontinue or terminate at any time any such BENEFIT PLANS, now existing or hereafter adopted, to the extent permitted by the terms of such plans and shall not be required to compensate the EMPLOYEE for such discontinuance or termination. (ii) After the expiration of the TERM or the termination of the employment of the employee for any reason other than JUST CAUSE (as defined hereinafter), the EMPLOYERS shall provide a group health insurance program in which the EMPLOYEE and her spouse will be eligible to participate and which shall provide substantially the same benefits as are available to retired employees of the EMPLOYERS on the date of this AGREEMENT until both the EMPLOYEE and her spouse become 65 years of age; provided, however that all premiums for such program shall be paid equally by the EMPLOYERS and the EMPLOYEE and/or her spouse after the EMPLOYEE's retirement; provided further, however, that the EMPLOYEE may only participate in such program for as long as the EMPLOYERS elect in their sole discretion to make available an employee group health insurance program which permits the EMPLOYERS to make coverage available for retirees.
