In addition, the Company will advise the Union representatives involved in writing, as far in advance as is practicable, of its intention to contract out work which would have a material and adverse effect on employees. Except in case of emergency, such notice will be no less than 30 days.

If the General Chairman, or equivalent, requests a meeting to discuss matters relating to the contracting out of work specified in the above notice, the appropriate Company representative will promptly meet with him/her for that purpose.

Such grievance shall commence at Step 2 of the grievance procedure, the Union officer submitting the facts on which the Union relies to support its contention. Any such grievance must be submitted within 30 days from the alleged non-compliance. Yours truly, P.A. Xxxxxx General Manager January 20, 2003 Xx. X.

Associated Non-Operating Railway Unions Negotiating Committee 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X0X 0X0 Dear Sir: This has reference to the award of the Arbitrator, the Honourable Xxxxxx X. Xxxx, dated December 9, 1974, concerning the contracting out of work. In accordance with the provisions as set out on Page 49 of the above-mentioned award, it is agreed that work presently and normally performed by employees represented by the Associated Non-Operating Railway Unions signatory to the Memorandum of Settlement dated May 22, 1985, will not be contracted out except: (1) when technical or managerial skills are not available from within the Railway; or (2) where sufficient employees, qualified to perform the work, are not available from the active or laid-off employees; or (3) when essential equipment or facilities are not available and cannot be made available from Railway-owned property at the time and place required; or (4) where the nature or volume of work is such that it does not justify the capital or operating expenditure involved; or (5) the required time of completion of the work cannot be met with the skills, personnel or equipment available on the property; or (6) where the nature or volume of the work is such that undesirable fluctuations in employment would automatically result. The conditions set forth above will not apply in emergencies, to items normally obtained from manufacturers or suppliers nor to the performance of warranty work. It is further agreed that at a mutually convenient time at the beginning of each year and, in any event, no later than January 31 of each year, representatives of the Union will meet with the designated officers to discuss the Company's plans with respect to contracting out of work for that year. In the event Union representatives are unavailable for such meetings, such unavailability will not delay implementation of Company plans with respect to contracting out of work for that year. In addition, the Company will advise the Union representatives involved in writing, as far in advance as is practicable, of its intention to contract out work which would have a material and adverse effect on employees. Except in case of emergency, such notice will be no less than 30 days. Such advice will contain a description of the work to be contracted out; the anticipated duration; the reasons for contracting out and, if possible, the date the contract is to commence. If the General Chairman, or equivalent, requests a meeting to discuss matters relating to the contracting out of work specified in the above notice, the appropriate Company representative will promptly meet with him/her for that purpose. Should a General Chairman, or equivalent, request information respecting contracting out which has not been covered by a notice of intent, it will be supplied to him/her promptly. If he requests a meeting to discuss such contracting out, it will be arranged at a mutually acceptable time and place. Where a Union contends that the Company has contracted out work contrary to the foregoing, the Union may progress a grievance by using the grievance procedure which would apply if this were a grievance under the Collective Agreement. Such grievance shall commence at Step 2 of the grievance procedure, the Union officer submitting the facts on which the Union relies to support its contention. Any such grievance must be submitted within 30 days from the alleged non-compliance. Yours truly, P.A. Xxxxxx General Manager January 20, 2003 Xx. X.

Early return to work is a program which enables employees to return to work before they have fully recovered from an injury or illness and who are expected to be able to return to their regular assignment, to return to work.
