Weekend Overtime /Laid Off Employees. In order to address Union concerns regarding the working of weekend overtime by production employees at the plant while production employees are on layoff status, both parties must agree to implement a weekend production crew. Prior to the implementation of a weekend production crew, the Company and Union will meet to discuss: The number of employees required; The scheduled duration of the weekend production crew start date and stop date; The various functions to be expected and the classifications required; Hours /shifts to be worked; Type of assignment (temporary or permanent). This weekend production crew will be filled by production employees per the job posting procedure. This job posting will be identified as either a permanent or temporary assignment for basis of determining if the employee has the right to return to their previous bid job, or if they are to be laid off from the weekend crew. Except as stated elsewhere, employees assigned to the weekend production crew will be required to work in various functions. The Union also agrees that such crossing of normal classification boundaries does not constitute a violation of the Collective Agreement. The Company will provide the Union and employees affected with the required notice of lay-off under the terms of Article of the collective agreement. At least an additional working days of notice will be provided to the Union and employees. The Union acknowledges that despite the introduction of the weekend production crew, circumstances may arise whereby overtime may still be required under the conditions specified in Article language, the employees for overtime assignments will be obtained from the regular scheduled employees (Monday Friday shifts) The rate of pay for the weekend production crew will be that of a Press Operator.
