Company's plant to attain economy of operation, safety to
1
the employees, quantity and quality of output, protection of property and

fully, individually and collectively for the advancement of these conditions.
Section 2. (a) Employer recognizes the Union or its Successors as the sole
----------
agency for collective bargaining. All employees (with the exception of
timekeepers, clerks, office employees and non-working foremen and non-working
supervisors in charge of any classes of labor) who are members of the Union in
good standing on the effective date of this Agreement, shall as a condition of
continued employment, maintain their membership in good standing in the Union.
All employees who on the effective date of this Agreement are not as yet members
in good standing of the Union shall become members of the Union in good standing
at the expiration of a thirty (30) day period following the effective date of
this Agreement. All new employees shall, as a condition of continued employment,
become members and maintain membership in good standing in the Union at the
expiration of a thirty (30) day period following the date of their employment or
the effective date of this Agreement, whichever is the later.
(b) It is agreed that upon the installation of new equipment, the
creation of a new job classification or upon changes in the duties of existing
job classifications, the Company retains the right to unilaterally establish the
initial wage rate. The initial wage rate will be effective for a period of four
(4) months. Upon the expiration of the four (4) month period, the
2
Company and the Union agree to negotiate an appropriate rate of pay for the new
or changed job at the Union's request. This Section is subject to the grievance
and arbitration provision of this Agreement.
Section 3. The Company agrees to deduct from the wages of its employees who
----------
have so authorized, Union Dues and Initiation Fees for transmittal to the Union.
Said deductions will be made out of the first pay of the month and shall be
remitted to the Union by no later than the 15th day of the month for which said
dues apply. Dues and initiation Fees deducted shall be remitted to the Union
headquarters by check. The check shall be accompanied by two (2) copies of a
list showing thereon:
(a) The names of all employees who received pay during the
calendar month for which remittance is made;
(b) The amount of deduction for each employee for whom a
deduction was made; and

extension of the probationary period. During the probationary period, employees
on probation shall be subject to termination without prior notice at the sole

TEMPORARY HELP
--------------
Section 1. The Employer may not hire temporary employees, leased employees,

which has the effect of avoiding the obligation of the Employer to hire such
full-time positions or to avoid any other provisions of this Agreement.
Section 2. In the event the Employer has an emergency,
----------
4
repair work, or other non-recurring need for temporary help the Employer may use

This clause is not intended to apply to work which is not normally performed by
bargaining unit employees.
ARTICLE III
-----------
SENIORITY, PROMOTIONS SHOP STEWARDS
-----------------------------------
Section 1. All employees who have been in the active employment of the
----------
Company for a period of at least one (1) year shall be regarded as the regular
set of help of the Company. These employees thus classified shall, wherever
possible, in accordance with good management, in dull periods of the year share
the work available equally in their given departments. All other help shall be
laid off first during the slow periods and shall be reemployed last when work is
resumed again.
If it shall be necessary for the Company to lay off employees
because of lack of business, the Union Shop Xxxxxxx shall be the last employee
laid off, providing he/she can perform the work available.
Section 2. Seniority is defined as the length of an employee's service with
----------
the Company within the bargaining unit; it shall apply plant wide. In case of
promotions, layoffs and recalls from layoffs, the following factors shall be
considered;
(a) Length of continuous service; and
(b) Skill and ability to perform the work in the
5
job classification in question.
It is recognized that certain job classifications required
considerable skill and ability to perform. In cases of promotion, layoff and

employee possesses the requisite skill and ability immediately to perform such
jobs. In the evaluation of relative skill and ability, the Company shall be the
judge.
Section 3. Newly hired employees and promoted employees shall progress to
----------
the classified rate at the rate of not less than twenty cents ($.20) per hour
every thirty (30) days.
Section 4. In the event that a promoted employee is found not to have the
----------
ability to perform the work required in his/her promoted job, or if the job to
which the employee has been promoted has been discontinued, the employee shall
be placed back in his/her former position, and shall retain his/her seniority at
the former position from which he/she was promoted.
Section 5. The Company agrees to draw up a plant wide seniority list as of
----------
June 1st of each year.

writing of the name of the Shop Xxxxxxx.
The Shop Xxxxxxx shall be permitted to leave his
6
department during working hours whenever absolutely necessary, provided he first
notifies the foremen.
Section 7. As a result of temporary transfer, an employee will not suffer
----------
any reduction in his/her hourly rate of pay. However, if temporarily transferred
to a higher rated job said employee shall, after one (1) week, receive the
higher rate.
A temporary transfer shall be defined as one lasting or intended
to last for ninety (90) days or less. In the event a transfer is intended to be
permanent, but in fact lasts for ninety (90) days or less, the employee affected
shall receive as back wages the difference between his former rate and the rate
to which he was transferred within five (5) days of his return to his former job
or rate.
This provision is not intended to modify the bidding procedure
for vacant positions specified in Section 10 of this Article.
Section 8. When an employee is permanently demoted to a lower paying
----------
position, the lower rate shall apply but if said employee is reinstated in his
former position, the higher rate shall then apply.
Section 9. An employee promoted to a non-working supervisory position shall
----------
retain seniority with respect to his former position for a trial period of three
(3) months and shall resign from the union at the expiration of the said three
(3) month period.
Section 10. All job openings will be posted on the bulletin
-----------
7
board for two (2) consecutive working days. The Company may temporarily fill the
vacant position, subject to the permanent selection of an employee to fill the
position. Job openings will be posted only in the event of a permanent opening
in a specific job classification. Senior employees may be permitted to fill
vacancies on the day shift whenever practicable, provided such transfer does not
impair the working efficiency of the plant. The Company agrees not to
unreasonably refuse such transfer. The Company may hire qualified employees from
outside the plant in the event there are no qualified people in the plant. There
shall be no lateral bidding or down-bidding, however, the Company agrees to
consider requests by the Union for down bidding or lateral bidding in special
circumstances which may include health, physical disability and age related
reasons.
Section 11. Employees hired or successfully bidding into unskilled or
-----------
semi-skilled positions, as defined hereinbelow, may not be permitted to bid
again for a period of four (4) months from the date of the successful bid. In
the event the Employer has knowledge of more than one position to be put up for
