Violence (a) The parties agree that violence shall be defined as any incident in which an employee is abused, threatened or assaulted while performing his or her work. The parties agree it includes the application of force, threats with or without weapons and severe verbal abuse. The parties agree that such incidents will not be condoned. Any employee who believes he/she has been subjected to such incident shall report this to a supervisor who will make every reasonable effort to rectify the situation. For purposes of sub- article (a) only, employees as referred to herein shall mean all employees of the Employer.
(b) The Employer agrees to develop formalized policies and procedures in consultation with the Joint Health and Safety Committee to deal with workplace violence. The policy will address the prevention of violence and the management of violent situations and support to employees who have faced workplace violence. These policies and procedures shall be communicated to all employees.
(c) The Employer will report all incidents of violence as defined herein to the Joint Health and Safety Committee for review.
(d) The Employer agrees to provide training and information on the prevention of violence to all employees who come into contact with potentially aggressive persons. This training will be done during a new employee’s orientation and updated as required.

Violence Against Women The parties hereby recognize and share the concern that women uniquely face situations of violence or abuse in their personal lives that may affect their attendance or performance at work. A woman who is in an abusive or violent personal or domestic situation will not be subjected to discipline without giving full consideration to the facts in the case of each individual and the circumstances surrounding the incident otherwise supportive of discipline. This statement of intent is subject to a standard of good faith on the part of the Employer, the Union and the affected employees and will not be utilized by the Union or the employees to subvert the application of otherwise appropriate disciplinary measures.
Vandalism Or Malicious Mischief This peril does not include loss to property on the "residence premises", and any ensuing loss caused by any intentional and wrongful act com- mitted in the course of the vandalism or malicious mischief, if the dwelling has been vacant for more than 60 consecutive days immediately before the loss. A dwelling being constructed is not consid- ered vacant.

Any employee who believes he/she has been subjected to such incident shall report this to a supervisor who will make every reasonable effort to rectify the situation. For purposes of sub-article (a) only, employees as referred to herein shall mean all employees of the Employer notwithstanding Article 2.12.
(b) The Employer agrees to develop formalized policies and procedures in consultation with the Joint Health and Safety Committee to deal with workplace violence.

COUNTERFEIT WORK (a) The following definitions apply to this clause:
Insurance, Subcontractor's Public Liability and Property Damage The Contractor shall require each of its subcontractors to secure and maintain during the life of the subcontract, insurance of the type specified in this Contract, or, the Contractor may insure the activities of its subcontractors in the Contractor’s policy, as specified in this Contract.

Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance LESSEE will carry and maintain in effect, at its own expense, with Approved Insurers, public liability insurance (including, without limitation, contractual liability, and passenger legal liability), and property damage insurance with respect to the Aircraft, in amounts per occurrence of not less than the Minimum Liability Coverage, or such greater amounts as LESSEE may carry from time to time on other similar aircraft in its fleet. LESSEE shall not discriminate against the Aircraft in providing such insurance. Each and any policy of insurance carried in accordance with this Subsection (A), and each and any policy obtained in substitution or replacement for any of such policies, (i) shall designate each Indemnitee as additional insureds as their interests may appear (but without imposing upon any obligation imposed upon the insured, including, without limitation, the liability to pay any premiums for any such policies, but the Indemnitees shall have the right to pay such premiums if it shall so elect), and (ii) shall expressly provide that, in respect of the interests of the Indemnitees in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the LESSEE or any other Person (other than the Indemnitees, each for their respective interests), and shall insure, regardless of any breach or violation by LESSEE or any other Person (other than the Indemnitees, each for their respective interests) of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies, (iii) shall provide that if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, or is adversely changed in any way with respect to the interests of the Indemnitees, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to the Indemnitees for thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the case of any war risks and allied perils coverage or such lesser time which may be standard in the insurance industry and ten (10) days in the event of nonpayment of premium), in each instance, after receipt by each of the Indemnitees of written notice by such insurer or insurers sent to the Indemnitees of such prospective cancellation, change or lapse, (iv) shall include coverage for any country in which the Aircraft is located, (v) shall provide that, as against the Indemnitees, the insurer shall waive any rights of set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, and waives any rights it may have to be subrogated to any right of any insured against the Indemnitees, with respect to the Aircraft, (vi) shall provide war risk and allied perils coverage pursuant to the AVN52 extended coverage endorsement or its equivalent, and (vii) shall insure (to the extent of the risks covered by the policies) the indemnity provisions of Section 14. Each liability policy shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance which may be carried by any Indemnitee, and shall expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof (except the limits of liability) shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. No liability policy shall permit any deductible or self-insurance provision except for baggage as is customary in the industry and such other deductibles only with the consent of the LESSOR, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, which from time to time LESSEE can demonstrate are standard in comprehensive liability insurance and, in particular, public liability risks (including, inter alia, contractual liability and passenger liability coverage) for U.S. Air Carriers in the then current United States insurance market.
