Section 1. Voluntary Check Off
The company agrees to deduct, if possible, an initiation fee, or portion thereof, and current regular
monthly Union dues from pay of any employee in the bargaining unit who has fully executed and furnished
the Company with an authorization form as shown below:
AUTHORIZATION FOR DEDUCTION OF UNION DUES OF MEMBERS OF AERO LODGE NO.
735 of the INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MACHINISTS AND AEROSPACE WORKERS,
affiliated with the AFL-CIO.
I hereby authorize Triumph Aerostructures – Vought Aircraft Division, a Triumph Group Company,
Nashville, Tennessee, to deduct an initiation fee, or a portion thereof, and the current regular monthly
Union dues from my wages earned by me while in the bargaining unit represented by Aero Lodge No. 735
of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, affiliated with the AFL-CIO, in
accordance with the provisions of the agreement effective February 5, 2012, between the Company and the

year from the effective date of said Agreement. I also understand I may revoke this authorization during
the ten (10) day period following the said effective date or during any ten (10) day period that follows an
anniversary of the said effective date by notice sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Union
at its office, Nashville, Tennessee. In the event I do not revoke this authorization to deduct Union dues
within any said ten (10) day period, this Dues Deduction Authorization shall be effective for an additional

The Company agrees to forward the amount of Union dues deducted from each weekly paycheck to
the Financial Secretary of the Union within a reasonable time after such deduction. A list of those from
whom deductions were made and the amounts of such deductions will be furnished the Union at the same
time.
The Union agrees to indemnify and save the Company harmless against any and all claims, demands,
suits or other forms of liability that may arise out of, or by reason of, actions taken or not taken by the
Company in complying with the provisions of this Article, in reliance upon the DUES DEDUCTION
AUTHORIZATIONS which have been furnished to it.
Section 2. Machinist Non-Partisan Political League
A. Upon receipt of a Union supplied and Management agreed to authorization for assignment and
check off of contributions to the Machinist Non-Partisan Political League (MNPL), Federal Election
Commission regulatory number C0002469, which is properly executed by an employee of the Company
who is a member of the bargaining unit, the Company shall deduct the sum so designated by the employee
from the pay of that employee for each payroll period in each month, provided:
1. The employee maintains his/her authorization for assignment and check off to MNPL in effect
during that month; and
2. The employee receives a paycheck for earned wages from the Company for the week(s)
designated to have MNPL contributions withheld. Such paycheck must be of a sufficient amount to
allow for the full amount of such MNPL deduction after other required deductions have been made.
The Company shall within thirty (30) days after the last deduction of each month transmit monies
withheld on behalf of the MNPL to an address designated by the Union as the office of the MNPL
authorized to review contributions withheld on behalf of the MNPL, as well as a list of the names and
addresses of the employees for which deductions have been made and the total amount of the deduction for
each such employee.
B. An employee’s participation in the Machinist Non-Partisan Political League shall terminate if:
1. The employee terminates employment, or
2. The employee transfers out of the Bargaining Unit, or
3. The employee revokes in writing his/her authorization for assignment and check off of
contributions to MNPL provided the revocation to the Company is received by the Company at
least twenty (20) days prior to the beginning of the month when revocation is requested to be made
effective.
C. The Union shall reimburse the Company for the Company’s actual expenses which it incurs in the
initial start up, administration, and the processing of those deductions to MNPL or cancellations of those
deductions. The MNPL director or his designee shall be allowed to audit the costs submitted by the
Company for reimbursement if, in the judgment of the MNPL director, the expenses appear unreasonable.
5
D. The Union agrees that it will hold the Company harmless and indemnify the Company for any and
all claims made with respect to the provisions of Section 2 of Article II.
E. The Company’s obligation shall remain in effect as long as the Company has an obligation to
provide such a procedure under the Federal Election Campaign Act.

ARTICLE III
HOURLY WAGE RATES AND OCCUPATIONS
Section 1. Hourly Wage Rates
A. Effective as of February 5, 2012, the hourly wage rates applicable to labor grades shall be as
specified in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and made a part hereof, and said rates shall remain in effect and
shall be implemented as outlined therein.
B. Effective as of February 5, 2012, incentive rates shall be set forth in Exhibit “B”, attached hereto
and made a part hereof, and shall be implemented as outlined therein.
Section 2. Occupations
Employees within the bargaining unit shall be assigned and classified by occupations. Occupations
and other labor grades applicable therein shall be set forth in Exhibit “C”, attached herein and made a part
hereof, effective on and after February 5, 2012.
Section 3. Job Descriptions
A. The occupational summary in each job description shall be construed to be a brief description of
the occupation as a whole and is intended to distinguish that occupation from other occupations. The
statement of the operation, i.e., work requirements in each job description, is intended to establish levels of
difficulty and provides the basis for determining the appropriate labor grade for the occupation when
interpreted and applied as hereinafter provided.
B. Where work assignments are not adequately or specifically described, such work assignments shall
be appraised and accordingly classified under the most appropriate occupation by considering the relative
degree of complexity or the level of difficulty of such work assignments. See paragraph F of this Section
3.
C. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the job description, an employee shall not be required to
perform all of the work operations described in the job description in order to be eligible for classification
thereunder. However, an employee shall not be eligible for classification under a job description by reason
of performing a few isolated or singular duties which are included in such job description.
D. An employee is required to perform the work operations, duties and other distinguishing functions
described in a job description under that degree or amount of supervision or instruction which is
considered usual and normal in order to qualify for classification thereunder.
E. Any employee who is assigned to job duties which are normally performed by higher rated
employees shall be upgraded to the appropriate higher-rated job provided he has sufficient seniority. If
not, then the most senior employee shall be promoted in accordance with Article IX of this agreement.
Whenever possible, work in a higher-rated occupation shall be assigned to the most senior available
employee capable of performing such work.
7
F. The Union and Company will establish a committee made up of a like number of management
employees and bargaining unit employees to evaluate all job descriptions to reflect the jobs that are
actually being performed. No job will be downgraded as a result of this committees’ actions.
The Company and the Union shall also establish a committee consisting of two (2) appointees each to
function as a job qualification committee. This committee shall be empowered to review and establish the
requirements and qualifications necessary for an individual to be deemed qualified to begin a reasonable
qualification period to demonstrate his ability to perform the duties of the occupation.
Section 4. Work Assignments
A. Departmental Transfers – When the Company transfers individual employees or groups of
employees from one department to another, consideration will be given to seniority. Should an employee
believe proper consideration has not been given, the supervisor will meet with the Union and the employee
to explain the reason(s) for the transfer. Nothing herein, however, will prevent the Company from
transferring employees to another department for production reasons when such transfers do not entail a
change in classification, job family or rate of pay.
B. Shift Transfers - An employee may give written notice of his desire to transfer to another shift in
the same job classification and department at any time following the expiration of his first six (6) months
on such occupation, job assignment or shift. If the employee has sufficient seniority, the Company shall,
within fifteen (15) working days, effect such transfer by displacement, if necessary, of the least senior
employee in the occupation. Any employee who is promoted or transferred to a new department shall be
entitled to make a written request, within the first five (5) consecutive working days on his new
assignment, for reassignment within the same occupation and department to a different shift or his
preference on which such occupation is in use. If the employee has sufficient seniority, the Company shall
effect such desired transfer within ten (10) working days after receipt of such request, by displacement of
the least senior employee in the same occupation and department on the shift desired.
C. Employees who desire to transfer to any other shift, when an opening and/or vacancy occurs in the
same occupation within the department, may give written notice no later than fifteen (15) working days
prior to the transfer. An employee can terminate his/her written notice no later than five (5) working days
prior to the transfer date. Employees being added or replaced within a department and shift will constitute
an opening/vacancy.
Senior qualified employees requesting transfer will be granted transfer as openings/vacancies occur.
D. The Company may transfer employees to other shifts within their respective occupations and
departments whenever it becomes necessary to build up or properly balance an adequate working force.
However, any such employee may return to his former shift as soon as a qualified employee is available to
replace him provided he possesses sufficient seniority within his department and occupation.
E. When it becomes necessary to assign an employee to another shift, because of special ability, such
assignment shall be considered as temporary, and the employee shall have the right to return to his former
shift when conditions justifying his temporary assignment cease to exist.
8
Section 5. Creation of Occupations
A. New or Revised Existing Occupations
It is recognized that changing conditions and circumstances resulting from the introduction of new
products, or changes in equipment or tooling, or in the method of processing, or in the materials processed,
or in standards of quality may require the determination of the proper occupation to be applied or
established. Under such circumstances, the Company will describe the work performed in the new or
changed occupation, and by the application of the existing job evaluation plan in effect for such purpose,
will establish a new or revised occupation, sufficient copies of which shall be furnished to the Union for
distribution to the committeepersons requiring them in their departments.
The new or revised occupation so developed, together with the applicable hourly wage rate, may be
put into effect by the Company and the employees assigned to such occupation shall be paid accordingly.
When hourly wage rates are so established and made effective for such new or different occupation, the
employee or employees affected shall be notified in writing or by bulletin board announcement. Any
employee so affected, or the Union, may within thirty (30) days from the date of notification, file a
grievance alleging that the hourly wage rate assigned to such new or different occupation does not bear a
fair relationship to hourly wage rates for other occupations in effect by operation of the Job Evaluation
Committee referred to in Section 3-F of this Article. If no grievance is filed with the Company within the
time limit specified above, hourly wage rates so established shall be considered to be fair and equitable,
and such hourly wage rates for such occupation shall remain in effect except as otherwise provided in this
agreement.
B. Combination of Occupations
If two or more existing occupations are combined or consolidated, the resulting newly-created
occupation shall not be considered to create an increase in the working force or to present an opportunity
for recall or promotion under the provisions of Article IX of this agreement, unless and until employees are
required for openings in the newly-created occupation in addition to the incumbents of the combined
occupations. No such incumbent of one of the combined occupations shall be subject to displacement
from the newly-created occupation by senior laid-off employees who held equity or enjoyed recall rights to
any other combined occupation prior to the combination. Should the above occur and two (2) or more
occupations are combined or consolidated, the higher rate of the existing occupations will apply for the
new occupation.
When openings occur in the newly-created occupation after the combination, employees on layoff
from each of the combined occupations shall be eligible for occupational recall to such openings in
accordance with seniority, in accordance with Article IX, Section 9, of this agreement.
Incumbent employees of existing occupations which are combined and employees recalled to a newlycreated occupation under the occupational recall provisions of Article IX, Section 9, shall be afforded
reasonable training in those duties and functions of the newly-created occupation which were not included
within the scope of the combined occupation to which they were previously assigned, and no such
employee shall be disqualified without an opportunity to acquire the knowledge and familiarity necessary
to perform such duties and functions, with a reasonable instruction/training period to demonstrate he can
perform the work at an efficient level under normal supervision and instruction.
9
All currently outstanding bids filed under Article IX, Section 11, of the labor agreement on any
existing occupation which is combined or consolidated shall be null and void, effective immediately.
Employees who continue to desire to express an interest in the duties or functions in question may file a
job preference card for the applicable newly-created occupation, subject to the conditions of Article IX,
Section 11.
Section 6. Limitation on Arbitrator
If any grievance under Section 5 hereof is submitted to arbitration in accordance with Article VIII, the
decision of the arbitrator shall be governed by the principle that the new rate shall bear a fair relationship to
rates for other occupations’ duties covered by existing job descriptions in effect in the plant by operation of
Job Evaluation Committee referred to in Section 3-F of this Article.
Section 7. Automatic Progression
A. Effective as of February 5, 2012, employees in all occupations shall be compensated in accordance
with the progression schedules set forth in Exhibit “A” attached. Progression within the schedule shall be
automatic at the intervals and in the amounts set forth therein.
B. An employee who is recalled from layoff shall be placed on the progression schedule for the
occupation to which he/she is recalled, at the step having the rate closest to the rate received when last on
permanent assignment; or the rate of the occupation currently held, whichever is higher. If the recalled
employee has never previously held such occupation, he/she shall be placed on the progression schedule at
the maximum rate for such occupation recalled to or at the rate closest to the rate which he/she was paid in
the occupation he/she last held when last on the active payroll prior to being laid off, whichever shall be
lower. Whenever used in this paragraph B, the term “rate” shall be interpreted to include the cost-of-living
adjustment payable at the time of recall or at the time of layoff, whichever shall be applicable.
C. An employee who is promoted shall be placed on the progression schedule for the newly-received
occupation either at:
•
•
the rate which he/she was paid in the job from which promoted plus twenty cents ($.20) for
each increase in labor grade not to exceed the rate of one progression step from the maximum
of the newly-received occupation or at
the minimum rate for the newly-received occupation,
whichever shall be higher.
Employees will receive a minimum of sixty cents ($.60) per hour rate increase for a promotion provided
the increase does not exceed the maximum rate for the newly-received occupation. Employees with at
least fifteen years seniority will receive the maximum rate of the newly-received occupation.
D. Any employee who displaces another employee by the exercise of seniority bumping rights under
this agreement shall be placed on the progression schedule for the occupation so acquired either at the step
having a rate closest to the rate he/she was paid in the occupation from which he/she exercised such
seniority rights, or at a maximum rate of the occupation which he/she so acquires, whichever is lower.
10
Section 8. Improper Occupational Assignment
Any claim of improper occupational assignment shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. If
such a claim is not filed with the company within six (6) working days after such assignment becomes
effective and the employee is notified in writing thereof, the employee shall not receive retroactive pay for
any period prior to the date of filing such claim. If such claim is filed with the company within six (6)
working days after such assignment becomes effective and the employee is notified in writing thereof, and
if it is determined either by the Company or by arbitration in accordance with the established grievance
procedure that the employee should have been in a higher occupation, the employee shall be paid a
retroactive adjustment based upon the difference between the wages actually paid and the amount,
determined as stated above, the employee should have been paid, from the date when the reclassification
shall have been made effective.
Section 9. Cost-of-Living Adjustment
A. A cost-of-living adjustment shall be provided for all employees covered by this agreement in the
manner specified in Paragraph B of this Section 9, based upon changes, if any, in the Consumer Price
Index (January 1987 Revision) for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (1982-1984 = 100) (CPI-W)
United States City Average, all items published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department
of Labor, and based upon the 1982-1984 consumer expenditure survey, hereinafter called the “index”.
B. A total of sixteen (16) cost-of-living adjustments shall be determined and made effective the start
of the first pay period of each of the following months: February 2012; May 2012; August 2012;
November 2012; February 2013; May 2013; August 2013; November 2013; February 2014; May 2014;
August 2014; November 2014; Feburary 2015; May 2015; August 2015, and November 2015. Such
adjustments shall provide one cent ($0.01) per hour for each full three-tenths (.3) point change in the Index
on a quarterly cumulative basis, measured by the change in the Index from the base month. The base
month for all adjustment dates shall be September 2011 (the September 2011 Index as published in
October 2011). The calculation for the initial adjustment shall commence beginning on or after February
1, 2012. The amount payable shall be calculated by measuring the change in the December 2011 Index
(which is published in January 2012) against the September 2011 base month, as defined above and as
calculated above on a quarterly cumulative basis.
C. No adjustment, retroactive or otherwise, shall be made because of any revision which hereafter
may be made in the published figures for the Index for any month or in the present form of the Index or on
the basis upon which the same is now calculated. However, if the Index in its present form should be
discontinued, or the basis of its calculations should be revised, the parties shall attempt to agree upon a
revision of the formula for computing the amount of the cost-of-living adjustment, as set forth in Paragraph
B of this Section. Failing agreement thereon, they shall request the Bureau of Labor Statistics to provide a
conversion or adjustment of the data upon which such formula is based, which upon receipt shall be
applied as of the relevant effective date hereunder.
D. The cost-of-living adjustment, if any, shall be paid to employees as an add-on amount, and shall
not be considered to be a part of the hourly wage rate structure.

D. Nothing contained in this agreement shall be construed as requiring the payment of more than
double time.
Section 3. Assignment of Overtime
The assignment of overtime shall be subject to the following provisions.
A. Records of paid overtime hours worked or refused shall be kept by occupation by shift within
departments for the purpose of distributing overtime work as equitable as possible by occupation on each
shift within the department. For such recording purposes, actual hours worked or refused on overtime and
holidays shall be multiplied by one and one-half (1½) or, with respect to overtime hours only, any
appropriate higher overtime rate. These records will be kept on the departmental supervisor’s desk and
will be made available to all departmental employees.
B. Employees who are transferred to a job in the same occupation on a different shift or in a different
department, shall be credited, for record purposes only, with an amount of overtime equal to the average
recorded overtime at the time he is transferred to his new department and occupation. All transfers shall
become effective on Mondays with the exception of shift transfers or employees assigned to occupations in
departments established by Section 1-B of Article V, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by management
and the Union.
Employees who are transferred to a job in a different occupation and all newly-hired employees shall
be credited, for record purposes only, with an amount of overtime equal to that of the employee with the
highest recorded overtime in the same department, occupation and shift as the transferred or newly-hired
employee at the time he is transferred. In the case of a new hire, he shall assume the overtime hours of the
employee with high recorded overtime in his occupation, department and shift, at the time he actually starts
to work.
Employees returning to work after a period of illness or layoff (including disciplinary layoff), or
disqualification exceeding nine (9) working days or being returned to his/her last held occupation
following a disqualification shall be credited, for record purposes only, with an amount of overtime equal
to that of the employees with the lowest recorded overtime in the same occupation and department on their
15
shift, on the day the employee returns. However, in no event shall an employee returning from layoff or
illness acquire fewer hours than he had recorded prior thereto.
C. The company will prorate overtime as equally as possible between 1st , 2nd and 3rd shifts on the
5x8 work week; between 1st and 2nd shift on the 4x10 work week; and between 1st and 2nd shift on the 3x12
work week.
The Company shall work with the Union to insure that employees of a department, regardless of shift,
shall have similar overtime opportunities. Whenever the Union feels that overtime opportunities between
the various shifts of a department are dissimilar, they shall notify the Manager of Human Resources of the
Union’s concern. When it is determined that an imbalance does exist, the Company shall institute a plan to
insure that the imbalance is corrected as soon as possible.
No employee from a shift, department and occupation shall be allowed to work more than sixteen
(16) hours in any twenty-four (24)-hour period.
D. Assignment of overtime will be made in such a manner that the employee with the least amount of
recorded overtime and who has the necessary ability and is capable of performing the work shall be given
preference of overtime assignment. Should such available employee refuse to work overtime, he shall be
recorded with the number of hours for which he would have been paid. The next available employee will
then be offered such overtime. If the required number of employees do not accept to work the overtime in
question, the necessary employees will be required to work. The following provisions will apply to
required overtime:
(a) Employees may be required to work overtime assignments Monday through Saturday, but no
employee will be required to work more than two (2) consecutive Saturdays. Employees will
not be required to work a Sunday overtime assignment.
(b) Employees shall not be required to work more than two (2) hours overtime on any regularly
scheduled work day, or eight (8) hours overtime on Saturday.
(c) Employees required to work on a regularly scheduled day off shall be notified of said
requirement at least 36 hours in advance.
(d) Employees required to work overtime at the end of the current shift shall be notified of said
overtime at least 4 hours prior to the end of the shift.
E. In determining overtime assignments for the 5 x 8 work week, the following steps are to be
followed:
Step 1 - Employees with the least amount of recorded overtime hours in the department, occupation
and shift where the overtime work is needed will be asked. If additional need still exists,
employees assigned to the occupation, department and shift, who are absent for reasons other than
vacation, long-term sick leave, paid funeral leave or pre-approved paid personal leave day shall be
called and given the opportunity to work overtime before proceeding to Step 2. Employees who are
asked to work overtime within their occupation, department and shift, shall be charged with the
overtime opportunity regardless of their decision to work or not to work. Employees who are
called at home and cannot be reached shall not be charged for the overtime opportunity.
16
Step 2 - Employees with the least amount of recorded overtime hours in the same department and
occupation from the preceding shifts, who have not been asked to work on their assigned shift, will
be offered the overtime in question. It is understood that eligible employees from the preceding
shift shall be exhausted prior to asking eligible employees in the next preceding shift.
Step 3 - Employees in the same occupation and shift from any different department assigned to the
same project or program that the company considers to have the necessary ability to perform the
work needed, who have not been asked to work in his assigned department and shift, will be called
upon to work.
Step 4 - Once the above steps have been exhausted and the Company deems a need still exists for
additional employees to work overtime, the Company may select any other employee on that shift
and in that occupation for which the overtime need exists.
Step 5 – If the required number of employees needed for overtime are not available after exhausting
Steps 1 through 4, the Company may exercise the provisions in Section D above.
F. In determining overtime assignments for the 3 x 12 work week, the following steps are to be
followed:
Step 1 – If an overtime need of more than four (4) hours exists during a 3 x 12 work week,
employees in the same occupation, department, on an equivalent 4 x 10 work week with the
least amount of recorded overtime hours will be given the entire overtime assignment with the
exception of employees on long term sick leave, vacation, paid funeral leave or pre-approved
paid personal leave. Employees who are asked to work overtime within their occupation and
department shall be charged with the overtime opportunity regardless of their decision to work
or not to work. Employees who are called at home and cannot be reached shall not be charged
for the overtime opportunity.
Step 2 – Employees in the same occupation and department on the other 4 x 10 work week with
the least amount of recorded overtime hours will be given the opportunity, with the exception
of those employees on long term sick leave, vacation, paid funeral leave or pre-approved paid
personal leave. Employees who are asked to work overtime within their occupation and
Step 3 – Employees with the least amount of recorded overtime hours in the same department
and occupation from the other 3 x 12 work week will be offered the overtime in question.
Step 4 – Once the above steps have been exhausted and the company deems a need still exists
for additional employees to work overtime, the Company may select any other employee on that
shift and in that occupation for which the overtime need exists.
Step 5 – If the required number of employees needed for overtime are not available after
exhausting Steps 1 through 4, the Company may exercise the provisions in Section D above.
17
G. In determining overtime assignments for the 4 x 10 work week, the following steps are to be
followed:
Step 1 – If an overtime need of more than four (4) hours exists during a 4 x 10 work week,
employees in the same occupation, department, on an equivalent 3 x 12 work week with the
least amount of recorded overtime hours will be given the entire overtime assignment with the
exception of employees on long term sick leave, vacation, paid funeral leave or pre-approved
paid personal leave. Employees who are asked to work overtime within their occupation and
Step 2 – Employees in the same occupation and department on the other 3 x 12 work week with
the least amount of recorded overtime hours will be given the opportunity, with the exception
of those employees on long term sick leave, vacation, paid funeral leave or pre-approved paid
personal leave. Employees who are asked to work overtime within their occupation and
Step 3 – Employees with the least amount of recorded overtime hours in the same department
and occupation from the other 4 x 10 work week will be offered the overtime in question.
Step 4 – Once the above steps have been exhausted and the Company deems a need still exists
for additional employees to work overtime, the Company may select any other employee on that
shift and in that occupation for which the overtime need exists.
Step 5 – If the required number of employees needed for overtime are not available after
exhausting Steps 1 through 4, the Company may exercise the provisions in Section D above.
Overtime will be distributed as called for in the labor agreement. In the event the spread of overtime
hours is eight (8) hours and above as of the time of the assignment, the error will be corrected by the
employee being offered the next overtime assignment until the number of hours worked is equal to the
number of hours missed. In the event the spread in overtime hours is less than eight (8) hours as of the
time of the assignment and an honest error has been made in the assignment, the subject will not be the
matter of an arbitration. In the event the overtime hours are equal, the company will ask by seniority and
this eight (8)-hour rule will apply.
In the event that the assigning supervisor is advised of an error in the assignment of overtime at least
one (1) hour prior to end of shift and no steps are taken to correct same, then the error in assignment will
be corrected by payment.
The eight (8)-hour spread as mentioned above is not to be used as a basis on which to assign overtime.
Where there is an unmanned shift in a department, if overtime is to be worked, it will be prorated
between the two (2) operating shifts.
18
If management is required to attempt to contact an employee at home for purposes of determining his
interest in working overtime, it is understood that the employee himself must accept or reject the overtime
and that only one (1) call shall be made.
If an employee is asked to work overtime on his regularly-assigned shift and occupation, and turns the
overtime opportunity down, that employee shall not be asked for any other overtime opportunity on any
other shift, department or occupation during the day in which he turned the overtime down.
Employees who are asked to work overtime outside their department and/or occupation and refuse the
overtime, will not be charged. Employees who accept overtime outside their department and/or occupation
will be charged in their home department for the overtime hours worked.
Employees who are scheduled for vacation will be offered overtime prior to their vacation time off in
accordance with and subject to all overtime provisions of the labor agreement. If they accept the overtime
assignment, they will be charged with the overtime hours accepted. If they reject the overtime assignment,
they will not be charged as having rejected it.
Employees will not be offered future overtime assignments until they actually return to work
following their vacation.
After offering an employee the opportunity to work overtime, the supervisor will have the employee
sign the form 8996 in the employee signature column. If an employee refuses to sign the hourly overtime
form, the departmental committeeperson will initial the form as such and this will be considered as the
employee rejecting the overtime. All overtime worked will be charged to the employee’s occupation,
department and shift. An employee who is solicited for overtime shall not be able to change his mind after
30 minutes before the end of his shift.
H. Employees who accept overtime assignments and who do not report shall be considered absent for
the purposes of absenteeism control and shall be subject to the same disciplinary consequences applicable
to absences during regularly scheduled hours of work.
Employees who are on Military Leave or Jury Leave will not be charged for such weekend overtime
assignments if they were not aware of such Military or Jury Duty obligations at time of accepting overtime;
if known in advance by the Company that employees will be on Military or Jury Duty assignment, the
Company will be under no obligation or incur any penalty for failure to ask such employee to work such
available overtime as they might otherwise be entitled under this Article V.
I. When it becomes necessary for employees covered by this Agreement to work overtime, they shall
not be laid off during regular working hours to equalize the time.
J. When an employee is asked to work overtime and the employee accepts the assignment, he shall
work in the department and occupation for which he accepted the overtime. In the event there is a
mechanical failure, absenteeism unknown to the Company, parts delay, as a result of the above
circumstances or acts of God, the Company may loan employees, by first seeking a volunteer, if none, then
selecting the least senior qualified employee at work, in the department and occupation from where the
loan is being made. The loan out of the employee outside his occupation on overtime shall not exceed the
time necessary to call an employee in to work and for him to report for such assignment. The call-in
process shall begin at the time the loan is made.
19
Section 4. Weekend Overtime
A. Assignment of Weekend Overtime
1. When it is necessary to work Saturday overtime, but Sunday work is in doubt, employees with
the lowest number of overtime hours who have the necessary ability and are qualified to perform
the work are to be given preference to work the Saturday overtime. If it is determined on such
Saturday that Sunday overtime is required, the employees with the lowest number of recorded
overtime hours who are working on Saturday, in their department, shift and occupation, will be
offered the opportunity to work. If additional employees are needed, employees from the
department, shift and occupation will be called. Thereafter, employees working on Saturday in the
department and occupation but from a different shift will be asked. If additional employees are still
required, employees from the preceding shifts, department and occupation who have not been asked
to work overtime, will be asked in accordance with accumulated overtime hours. After all
employees from the department and occupation have been asked, then any qualified employee in
the occupation at work will be offered the overtime opportunity before going outside the
occupation.
2. When it is known that both Saturday and Sunday weekend overtime is to be worked,
management shall provide the opportunity to work both days of the weekend overtime assignment
to the low-hour overtime employees as of the day the overtime opportunity is being asked, within
the occupation, department and shift that the work is to be performed on. Such employee shall
have the right to elect to accept or reject the overtime opportunity in part or in whole. Remaining
weekend overtime opportunities shall continue to be asked in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4 of this Article. This provision does not apply to holiday or mini-vacation overtime
opportunities.
B. Charging of Weekend Overtime
Employees who refuse Saturday overtime when asked to work on Saturday only will be charged for
Saturday only. However, such an employee shall be charged for Sunday if he works or refuses such
overtime after being asked on Saturday to work Sunday.
C. Variations In Overtime Assignments And Mini-Vacation Overtime
The manner of assigning overtime as spelled out in Article V, Section 4, may be altered by agreement
between the company and the union covering a particular department and/or group. Such variations as
approved by two-thirds majority of employees in the occupation and department on the shift to be valid
must be signed by the departmental superintendent and the manager of Human Resources and the union
president and/or business representative, the plant grievance committeeperson and the departmental
committeeperson. Such agreements shall remain in effect until disapproved by either party to the
agreement.
If it becomes necessary to ask for additional overtime after the start of the mini-vacation period,
employees will be asked based on the lowest overtime hours which exist at the end of the period. No
recasting of hours will be done during this period.
20
Section 5. Call Time
In the event an employee is called back to work at any time outside his regular shift hours during the
normal work week, as defined in Section 1, Paragraph A of this Article V, after he has completed his
scheduled hours and after leaving the plant, or in the event that he is called to report for work on Saturday
at a time which is inconsistent with the beginning of his established regular shift, as defined in Section 1,
Paragraph D, Article V, he shall be guaranteed at least two (2) hours work at double time, or pay in lieu
thereof, and shall be paid the designated overtime rate for all such work after the first two (2) hours on the
same such standard day, if any.
When the Company finds it necessary to call an employee for overtime or call back an employee who
has left the plant, the Company representative attempting to contact the employee will utilize the
departmental committeeperson first; if he isn’t available, they will utilize the alternate departmental
committeeperson; if he isn’t available, they will utilize another hourly employee. The departmental
committeeperson or another employee so utilized will verify the call in writing on a sheet provided by the
Company. A departmental committeeperson or alternate departmental committeeperson shall be
considered available if he is at work within his department.
Section 6. Reporting Time
In the event an employee appears for work, unless he was previously notified not to report, he shall
receive at least four (4) hours work or pay at the appropriate rate of the day reporting in lieu thereof. This
will not apply where an employee was absent from work the previous working day, provided the Company
makes a reasonable effort to communicate with the absent employee, or in case of emergency shutdown
arising out of conditions over which the Company has no control.
Section 7. Pay Day
Through the pay day on June 1, 2012, the pay day shall normally be on Friday of each week and
paychecks will be distributed during working hours to those employees at work, at which time the
employee shall be paid through the preceding Sunday. However, employees working the second shift shall
be paid on Thursday night sometime during the shift unless the employee(s) was absent from work the
preceding Friday; if so absent, such employee(s) shall be paid on Friday sometime during the second shift
working hours. Employees absent on payday may pick up their paycheck on pay day at the Human
Resources Office. Paychecks shall be available in the Human Resources Office from 8:00 a.m. until 11:30
a.m., and from 12:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. on Friday. Paychecks shall be available from 12:30 p.m. until
3:30 p.m. on Thursday for employees who have excused absences authorized for the remainder of the work
week. However, if employees abuse this right, the parties shall discuss the matter with the intent of
reaching further understandings which will correct the abuse.
Effective as of the pay day on June 8, 2012, payments made to employees for hours worked (wages),
vacation, paid personal days, etc., will be made by direct deposit into an account designated by the
individual employees.

Section 2. Eligibility
In order to be eligible for holiday pay for any recognized holiday hereunder, an employee must meet
the following requirements:
A. The employee must have at least six (6) weeks of seniority as of the date of the holiday.
B. The employee must have worked the last scheduled work day prior to the holiday and the next
scheduled work day after the holiday unless he is on vacation, pre-approved personal day or a required
absence of short duration for a definite period due to lack of work. If absent for either of these reasons, he
will be paid for the holiday provided he worked the last day he was scheduled to work prior to the holiday
and the first day he was scheduled to work following the holiday. In the event an otherwise eligible
employee’s first day of layoff or first day of work following recall falls within the period of five (5)
scheduled work days immediately preceding or immediately following a holiday, he will be paid for the
holiday, notwithstanding the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the requirements set forth above in this Paragraph B, if an employee reports but fails,
without Company permission, to complete the full schedule of hours on either the last scheduled work day
before the holiday or the first scheduled work day after the holiday, he/she shall, if otherwise eligible,
22
receive pay for the holiday less a deduction equal to the employee’s rate of pay (including COLA)
multiplied by the scheduled time (to the nearest tenth of an hour) which the employee failed to work.
C. The employee shall receive holiday pay if he was absent from work on the last scheduled work day
prior to, or the next scheduled work day after the holiday, or both, due to a compensable injury or due to a
death in his immediate family, provided he has the necessary seniority and has worked at least one (1) day
in the week in which the holiday occurred. His immediate family shall consist of a husband, wife, child,
parent, brother, sister, grandparents, grandchildren, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-inlaw, brother-in-law or sister-in-law.
D. The employee shall receive holiday pay if he is absent due to personal illness supported by a
medical certificate acceptable to the Company, provided, however, the employee has not been on sick
leave more than thirty (30) days prior to the holiday.
E. The employee shall receive holiday pay if he is absent from work on the last scheduled work day
prior to or the next scheduled work day after the holiday, or both, for reasons other than those stated in
Paragraphs C and D above, provided he has a reason acceptable to the Human Resources Department.
Section 3. Working on a Holiday
A. Employees who may be requested to and do work on any of the above holidays shall be
compensated at the rate of double time for hours worked on the holiday. In addition thereto, they shall
receive holiday pay providing they are otherwise eligible under the provisions of Section 1 of this Article.
B. Employees who have accepted holiday assignments and then fail to report for and perform such
work without reasonable and proper cause, including compensable injury, death in the immediate family,
and personal illness supported by a medical certificate, shall not receive any pay for the holiday. An
employee who is scheduled and reports for work on a holiday but who fails to complete the hours so
scheduled shall be subject to a deduction from the holiday pay otherwise payable to him/her in an amount
equal to the employee’s straight-time rate of pay (including COLA) multiplied by the scheduled time (to
the nearest tenth of an hour) which the employee failed to work.
Section 4. Holiday Pay Computation
A. Holiday pay for a hourly employee shall be computed by multiplying his applicable hourly rate by
eight (8); provided, that in the case of employees assigned to an alternative work week under Article V,
Section 1, Paragraph B, of this Agreement, the hourly rate shall be multiplied by the number of regularlyscheduled daily hours worked by such employees if the holiday falls on one of their regularly-scheduled
work days.
B. Overtime premiums shall be excluded from all holiday pay computations.
C. Night shift differentials, if any, shall be included in all holiday pay computations. Shift
differentials for holiday pay computations will be determined by the shift that the employee last worked on
during the week of the holiday.
23
Section 5. Changing the Holiday
The Company and the Union may, by mutual agreement, change the day that will be observed as the
holiday.

B. The normal “vacation season” in which vacations will be granted, if no plant shutdown has been
scheduled by the Company as outlined in subsection A, above, shall be from the first pay period
commencing after June 1, to the last full pay period prior to May 31.
If no vacation shutdown period is scheduled by the Company during a current year, vacations will, as
far as possible, be granted at times most desired by the employees. The right to schedule an employee’s
vacation period is reserved by the Company in order to insure the orderly and efficient operation of the
plant or any department or section thereof. Plant-wide seniority shall govern as far as possible in the
selection of dates and thirty (30) days’ notice will be given whenever possible. Employees who are
eligible for vacation will be guaranteed time off if they so desire.
25
Section 2. Vacation Eligibility
A. Each employee who was on the company’s payroll register at the end of his regular shift on May
31, 2012 (succeeding years likewise) and who has established at least six (6) months and not more than ten
(10) years of seniority by having been employed on or before June 1, or the first Monday in June in the
event May 31 falls on Friday or Saturday, and who was an active employee for at least 6 months in the
year prior to June 1, shall receive eighty (80) hours of vacation during the following vacation season.
B. Each employee who was on the company’s payroll register at the end of his regular shift on May
31, 2012 (succeeding years likewise) and who has established at least ten (10) years and not more than
twenty (20) years of seniority by having been employed on or before June 1, or the first Monday in June in
the event May 31 falls on Friday or Saturday, and who was an active employee for at least 6 months in the
year prior to June 1, shall receive one hundred and twenty (120) hours of vacation during the following
vacation season.
C. Each employee who was on the company’s payroll register at the end of his regular shift on May
31, 2012 (succeeding years likewise) and who has established at least twenty (20) or more years of
seniority by having been employed on or before June 1, or the first Monday in June in the event May 31
falls on Friday or Saturday, and who was an active employee for at least 6 months in the year prior to June
1, shall receive one hundred and sixty (160) hours of vacation during the following vacation season.
D. The vacation pay allowances will be computed at the employee’s regular base hourly rate of pay,
including shift differential, but exclusive of all premiums or overtime allowances.
Section 3. Vacation Scheduling
A. Up to forty (40) hours of vacation may be carried over into the next vacation year. At the end of
the vacation year an employee will receive pay for their remaining hours of unused vacation above the
maximum carry-over amount. Vacations can be taken in full calendar weeks and in successive weeks or
taken one day at a time. Up to forty (40) hours of vacation may be taken in four (4)-hour increments in any
one vacation year. Approval of vacation requests is subject to operational requirements and advance notice
satisfactory to the company under the circumstances in each case. However, the company reserves the
right to approve individual vacations for only one (1) full calendar week at a time upon request when an
employee is eligible for eighty (80) hours of vacation and for only two (2) full calendar weeks at a time
upon request where an employee is eligible for one hundred and twenty (120) hours or one hundred and
sixty (160) hours of vacation. Where an employee is eligible for one hundred and twenty (120) hours or
one hundred and sixty (160) hours of vacation, the company will endeavor to approve, whenever possible,
such vacation at one time where the employee requires it for reasons of distant travel or other needs.
B. During the period May 1st through May 31st of each year, individual employees eligible for
vacation, after taking into consideration scheduled vacation shutdown periods, may begin to schedule
vacations for the upcoming vacation season. Preference in granting vacation time off shall be given the
most senior employee within a particular department and occupation on each shift who requests vacation
during this period. All vacation requests must be submitted in writing, on a form to be provided by the
26
Company, and acknowledged by the employee’s immediate supervisor. Once a vacation request has been
approved, the vacation time off shall be retained by the employee regardless of his department, shift or
occupational assignment changes during the vacation season.
After the May 1st through May 31st period, individual vacations may be scheduled by submitting a
vacation request in writing, on a form provided by the Company, and acknowledged by the employee’s
immediate supervisor at least one (1) week before the requested effective date of the vacation. Individual
vacations of one (1) day or four (4)-hour increments may be scheduled by following the same procedure no
later than one (1) full shift before the requested day of vacation. Employees assigned to a 4x10 work week
who work four (4) hours and are approved for four (4) hours vacation or are approved for eight (8) hours of
vacation shall be excused for the final two hours of that day. Employees requesting vacation after May 31
during the current vacation season shall not be able to displace a less senior employee who has been
granted approval for vacation time off during the May 1st through May 31st vacation scheduling period.
Section 4. Vacation Pay
Employees will be paid for their vacation on the pay day for the week in which the vacation was taken.
Section 5. Holidays During Vacation
Holidays occurring during an employee’s vacation period shall be counted as part of vacation time and
employees shall receive holiday pay in accordance with the provisions of Article VI. An employee,
however, may, at the time he makes formal vacation application, elect to observe such holidays occurring
during his vacation on his next normally scheduled work day following his vacation.
Holiday pay issued during a vacation shutdown period for employees on layoff during the shutdown
period will be paid so not to interfere with the employees’ unemployment.
Section 6. Vacation and Military Obligations
A. Any employee who is a member of the National Guard, State Guard, or Reserve Forces of the
United States, shall not lose his vacation pay because of time away from the plant when ordered into active
duty for a short duration of time.
B. Any employee who has at least one (1) year of seniority as of the date of his termination for entry
into the Armed Services of the United States, shall, upon submission of proof of his entry, receive vacation
pay in accordance with Section 2 of this Article.
Section 7. Vacation, Laid Off and Terminated Employees
A. If an employee was in a laid off status on May 31, 2012 (succeeding years likewise) and has
established six (6) months or more of seniority and who was an active employee for at least six (6) months
in the year prior to June 1, he will be paid vacation benefits as outlined in Article VII, Section 2, upon his
recall to work. Employees recalled from layoff who have worked less than six (6) months in the previous
27
vacation period shall receive prorated vacation at 1/12th for each full month worked in the previous
vacation period.
B. If an employee is terminated for any reason after May 31st of any year and prior to his taking his
vacation or being paid therefor, he will be paid all vacation rights which he had earned during the
preceding “vacation year” at the time of termination or as soon thereafter as practicable.
C. An employee who had at least six (6) months of seniority on the preceding May 31st shall receive a
prorated vacation pay benefit in the event of his termination based upon the amount of actual days on the
active payroll in the June 1 - May 31 period during which he was terminated.
Section 8. Special Provision for Determining Employees Required to Work During Vacation
Shutdowns
A. If work is required during the vacation shutdown on a program or in a departmental/ functional
area, the individual who is the most senior within each affected department and occupation, without
regard to shift, shall be given the first opportunity to work. If the most senior person elects to take
vacation and not work, the process shall be repeated until sufficient volunteers within the department and
occupation are obtained. If insufficient volunteers are obtained, the least senior employees within the
department and occupation shall be required to work until the required level of manpower is obtained.
Plant-wide seniority shall be the basis for determining seniority ranking. Super-seniority shall have no
bearing upon vacation selection.
B. An employee assigned to a program or in a departmental/functional area who is not asked to work
and has no vacation eligibility, shall observe the vacation shutdown period by taking excused absence
days. An employee who has no vacation eligibility and is asked to work will not be allowed to exercise the
option of not working even if a less senior employee on the shift, in the department and occupation, has not
been asked to work.
C. Shift selection, in cases where multiple shift operations are to be conducted, shall be on the basis
of plant-wide seniority from among those employees within the department and occupation required to
work while the remainder of the department observes the vacation shutdown. The most senior people shall
retain their regularly-assigned shift to the greatest extent possible. No shift differential will be paid to any
employee unless he is actually assigned to the second or third shift during the shutdown.
D. If overtime is required during the vacation shutdown period in an area observing the shutdown, the
first overtime opportunity in the department and occupation shall be offered on the basis of seniority to the
most senior employee who is working during the shutdown on the shift in the department and the
occupation where the overtime opportunity exists. Subsequent overtime opportunities during the vacation
shutdown period within the same shift, department and occupation, shall be made in accordance with
overtime opportunity hours recorded during the shutdown period. The employee with the low accumulated
overtime opportunity hours shall be given the first opportunity to work.
At the conclusion of the vacation shutdown period, overtime opportunity hours, if any, shall be added
on to the overtime roster applicable to the employee’s regular shift, department and occupation.
28
ARTICLE VIII
ADJUSTMENT OF GRIEVANCES
Section 1. Grievances Defined
Grievances are herewith defined as any alleged violation of the terms of this Agreement or any
difference of opinion arising as to its interpretation or application.
Section 2. Grievance Procedure
Should any grievance, as defined herein, arise, there shall be no suspension of work and an earnest
effort shall be made to settle such difficulties promptly in the manner hereinafter outlined. Any employee
having a complaint may discuss the same with his/her immediate supervisor and/or his/her departmental
committeeperson.
Step 1. The agreement endorses the concept of settling grievances at the lowest possible level.
Accordingly, any employee alleging a complaint will, within six (6) working days after he/she
knowing of the facts giving rise thereto of the alleged violation, meet with his/her immediate
supervisor and departmental committeeperson and attempt to resolve the complaint. This oral step
is mandatory prior to any grievance being reduced to writing.
If the employee’s complaint cannot be resolved as a result of the discussion, the employee may
present the alleged grievance in writing to his/her departmental committeeperson, who will present
the grievance in triplicate within an additional six (6) working day period to the employee’s
supervisor and/or the manager responsible for alleged violation. The employee’s immediate
supervisor and/or the manager responsible for alleged violation will record on the grievance the
date the grievance was submitted to him/her. This step will be between the grievant, his/her
supervisor and/or the manager responsible for alleged violation, and the departmental
committeeperson of the Union. The supervisor and/or the manager responsible for alleged
violation will return two (2) copies of the grievance to the Union with his/her written disposition
not later than two (2) working days from the date of which he/she received the written grievance.
Step 2. The grievance, if not settled in Step 1, may be referred within three (3) working days
following the date on which the Company’s answer was given in Step 1 to the appropriate project
manager or designee. This meeting will be held within three (3) working days following the receipt
of the grievance by the project manager. This meeting will be between the grievant, his supervisor
and/or the manager responsible for alleged violation, his departmental committeeperson, plant
grievance committeeperson, and the manager or his designated representative, and a representative
of the Human Resources Department if so desired by the Company. The manager or his designated
representative will make a reply within three (3) working days after the grievance is discussed in
formal meeting.
Should the occasion arise wherein five (5) or more grievances identical in substance are filed in any
one department, then the second step hearing will be granted to the senior employee grieving, who
will be representative of the remainder of such grievants, and no additional Step 2 hearing will be
necessary.
29
Step 3. The grievance, if not settled in Step 2, may be referred within three (3) working days
following the date on which the Company’s written answer was given in Step 2 for consideration at
the next meeting to be held between the president of the local Union or his designated
representative, together with the plant wide committeeperson from the area and shift where the
grievance was filed, a member of the Company’s Human Resources Department, the manager or
his designated representative for the area from which the grievance was filed. The Union business
representative of the Local may also attend the Step 3 discussion. Such meeting shall be held on
the second and fourth Tuesday of each month (unless changed by mutual agreement). A grievance
properly referred to this step shall be discussed at the next meeting provided notice of referral shall
be submitted to the office of the Manager of Human Resources not less than three (3) working days
prior to the date of the scheduled meeting. Grievances which are filed within three (3) working
days of such meeting shall be discussed at the next meeting or at some other time as mutually
agreed upon.
Grievances which are discussed in any such meeting shall be answered in writing by the Manager of
Human Resources or his representative within five (5) working days following the date of such meeting.
Written grievances relating to matters of general in character may be submitted by the Union to the office
of the Manager of Human Resources not later than three (3) working days prior to the date of the next
scheduled meeting. Grievances pertaining to disqualification must be filed directly into Step 3 of the
procedure.
The Manager of Human Resources’ designated representative will record on the grievance the date the
grievance was submitted to Step 3, will retain the white copy and return the other copies to the Union
representative referring the grievance to Step 3.
Grievances which are resolved at Step 1 of the grievance procedure are done so without precedent or
prejudice to the respective position of either management or the Union.
Section 3. Mediation Process
During the course of negotiations the parties agreed to amend Article VIII, Section 2, so as to permit
mediation, upon mutual agreement, during the prearbitration step of the grievance procedure.
The primary purpose of the mediator is to assist the parties in settling grievances in a mutually
satisfactory fashion. In attempting to achieve a settlement, the mediator is free to use all of the techniques
customarily associated with mediation, including private conferences with only one party. If settlement is
not reached during the mediation, and the matter is arbitrated, the mediator shall not serve as the arbitrator
and shall not be called as a witness by either party. Nothing said or done by the parties or the mediator
during the mediation may be introduced by either party during arbitration.
The parties shall mutually select the mediator. Prior to each case, the parties will mutually agree if the
mediator’s decision is to be binding and not subject to arbitration. If the parties are unable to reach
agreement on a mediator, the matter shall be submitted to arbitration. Each party shall bear one-half of the
fees and expenses of the mediator.
30
Section 4. Arbitration
A. Either party may refer a grievance to arbitration within five (5) working days after a written answer
is received in Step 3, above, by notifying the other party that it desires the grievance to be arbitrated. The
party referring the grievance to arbitration shall, within five (5) additional working days, request the
Director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to submit arbitration panels and/or appoint an
arbitrator in accordance with the procedures set forth in Paragraph B, below.
B. The Director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service shall submit to both parties a panel
of seven (7) qualified individuals. Either party may, on a one time per case basis only, reject the entire
panel of names submitted and request Director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to
furnish an additional panel. Any such request must be made prior to the meeting provided for herein for
the purpose of striking names. If neither party seeks to set aside the entire panel, the parties shall meet
within ten (10) days after receipt of such panel and shall strike from such panel, on an alternate basis, the
names of individuals thereon until only one name remains. The parties shall jointly, or either party may
separately, notify the arbitrator so selected, who will forthwith advise both parties of available dates. The
parties shall then forthwith mutually select a hearing date. If the parties so elect, they may jointly also
advise Director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service of their choice. If the selected arbitrator
cannot schedule a hearing within a reasonable period of time, the parties shall request another panel of
seven (7) qualified individuals from Director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and
subsequent panels, as necessary, and proceed to strike as provided above. If either party refuses to strike a
name from a panel, the other party may select an individual from such panel and so notify said arbitrator
and/or Director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service who shall forthwith appoint that
individual to arbitrate the referred grievance. The parties shall rotate as to who strikes first with respect to
each panel.
If the arbitrator selected from a panel cannot serve because of availability as provided for in this
Section 4-B, the party who struck first shall also strike first on the second or other subsequent panels, if
necessary, until an available arbitrator is selected as provided for in this Section 4-B.
C. The arbitrator, when appointed, shall proceed to consider the grievance without delay and shall
render his decision within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of his taking of evidence in the case
unless extended by mutual consent of the parties. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding
upon the Company and the Union.
D. The jurisdiction of the arbitrator shall be limited to determining questions involving the
interpretation, application or alleged violation of the terms of this Agreement, or of any Agreement
supplementary hereto. The arbitrator shall have no authority to add to, or subtract from or to change any of
the terms of this Agreement, or of any Agreement supplementary hereto.
In the award of back pay to an employee under this Article VIII, no payment shall be made in excess
of thirty (30) calendar days prior to the actual filing of the grievance, provided the employee is on the
active payroll on the inception date. This is not to be construed as cutting off monetary liability, if any,
after the filing of a grievance as outlined under Article VIII, Section 2, Step 1.
E. Grievances which have been referred to arbitration shall not be grouped or combined for decision of
an arbitrator. Not more than one (1) grievance shall be heard by one (1) arbitrator at any one time, unless
otherwise mutually agreed to by the Company and the Union. However, grievances identical to any one
arbitrated shall be settled on the basis of such arbitration decision.
31
F. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator, together with such other expenses as may be necessary and
ordered by him, shall be shared equally by the Company and the Union. However, if either party offers to
provide the arbitrator with a transcript of the proceedings and the arbitrator accepts such transcript, the
other party may receive a copy at copy cost. Either or both parties may, at their individual discretion, file
post-hearing briefs with the arbitrator. However, upon meeting agreement, post-hearing briefs may be
waived and both parties, prior to the commencement of the hearing, may request the arbitrator to render a
bench decision after closing the taking of evidence, argument, closing statements, if any, and the closing of
the hearing but prior to leaving the place of hearing.
G. Any grievance which has been properly referred to arbitration by written notification in the manner
provided for by Paragraph A of this Section 4, may be submitted to pre-arbitration review upon the written
request of either party hereto mailed to the other party within ten (10) working days after the date of notice
of referral to arbitration. A regular scheduled meeting shall be held once every month for pre-arbitration
review of such grievance and such other grievances as shall then be pending review. The representatives
of the parties hereafter named shall have full authority to resolve any such grievance. The Union shall be
represented at the pre-arbitration review meeting by the president and business agent or the person either of
them may designate in his place and one other person and the Company shall be represented by two (2)
managers, one (1) of which shall be the manager of the area wherein the grievance originated, or their
designee, and one (1) member of the Human Resources Department. Each party shall appoint one of its
three (3) representatives to present the facts of the grievance at the pre-arbitration review meeting and the
other two (2) representatives shall have full authority to resolve the grievance. The pre-arbitration review
meeting shall be held within thirty (30) days after the request for review is mailed unless mutually
postponed to a later date by the Union president and the manager of Human Resources.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this grievance procedure, no grievance properly submitted to
pre-arbitration review shall be considered or heard by an arbitrator pursuant to Paragraph C of this Section
4 unless and until the pre-arbitration review meeting shall have been held. If such a grievance remains
unsettled after the pre-arbitration review meeting, arbitration shall thereupon proceed in accordance with
the preceding provisions of this Section 4.
Section 5. Grievances Involving Suspension or Discharge
Grievances regarding unjust discriminatory or disciplinary dismissals or grievances concerning
disciplinary layoffs of any nature may be filed in writing with the manager of Human Resources not later
than six (6) working days after the dismissal or layoff. Such grievances shall be considered at the next
regular Step 3 meeting. In the event it is agreed to reinstate an employee who filed a grievance under this
Section, the determination of pay, if any, for time lost shall be subject to the grievance procedure. In no
event shall such pay exceed six (6) working days prior to the filing of such grievance.
Failure to file such written grievance by the Union or employee within the time specified shall exempt
the Company from any obligation to reinstate any employee or reimburse him for lost time.
Any employee who has been disciplined by either suspension or discharge will be granted, if so
requested, a meeting with the departmental committeeperson and plant grievance committeeperson to
discuss the case with him/her in a place designated by the manager of Human Resources or his designee
before he is required to leave the plant unless, in the Company’s judgment, circumstances necessitate
his/her immediate removal from the premises. The appropriate representative of the employee who is
32
being suspended or discharged shall be given an opportunity to review the facts relied upon by the
Company giving rise to just cause for suspension or discharge. In any case involving suspension or
discharge, a representative of the Human Resources Department shall provide the Union Business Agent
and Local President as much advance notice as possible.
Section 6. Union Representation
The Union may select one (1) departmental committeeperson and one (1) alternate who shall be
employees of the Company and members of the Union, for each one hundred (100) employees or fraction
thereof for each shift in any department with the bargaining unit. Additional committeepersons to service
sections of a department which are separated may be selected if the need for such is mutually agreed upon.
Alternates can function only in the absence of the committeeperson.
The Union may also be represented by a plant grievance committee not to exceed one (1) for each five
hundred (500) employees on a shift, no two (2) alternate Union officials shall be from the same
program/function. These members of the plant grievance committee must be employees of the Company
and members of the Union. When the number of bargaining unit employees on any shift falls below two
hundred (200), the time spent by the plant grievance committeeperson in the performance of the duties
enumerated in Article VIII, Section 7B, of this Agreement shall be limited to straight-time hours. During
those times when the plant grievance committeeperson representing a shift with less than two hundred
(200) bargaining unit employees is not performing duties so enumerated, he shall perform only assigned
bargaining unit work. The reduction of plant grievance committee persons by shift shall be accomplished
in the reverse numerical order of the basis by which they were appointed under the provisions of Article
VIII, Section 6, of this Agreement.
Schedule for the ADDITION or REDUCTION of plant grievance committeeperson by shift.
1 - 200 employees
201 – 500 employees
501 - 1000 employees
One plant grievance committeeperson; time not
spent on representation responsibilities will be
spent performing classified bargaining unit work
one plant grievance committeeperson
two plant grievance committeepersons
three plant grievance committeepersons
four plant grievance committeepersons, etc.
NOTE: Plant-wide committeepersons shall be removed from the position based upon the reverse
application of the numerical progression of employees assigned to the department and shift in jobs
included in the bargaining unit.
The Union shall furnish the Human Resources Department a list showing the names of the
departmental committeepersons and their alternates, and the names of the plant grievance committee and
shall continue to advise the Company as changes occur.
33
Section 7. Procedure for Committeeperson
The Union will reduce to a minimum the actual time spent by departmental committeepersons in the
performance of their duties.
A. The duties of the departmental committeeperson shall be restricted to the investigation and
handling of grievances as follows:
1. Their jurisdiction shall be limited to the handling of grievances within the geographical
boundaries of their respective areas.
2. They shall be allowed to consult with employees in their respective departments who have a
grievance, after they notify their foreman and punch out on Union time, as hereinafter provided.
Upon completion of the departmental committeeperson’s investigation, he shall again punch off
Union time and resume his regular work assignment.
3. If, after talking to the employee, the departmental committeeperson needs to consult with the
plant grievance committeeperson, he will advise his supervisor, identifying the grievance and the
general nature of the call he wishes to make. The supervisor will grant permission to use the
telephone and the departmental committeeperson may call the appropriate number and ask that the
plant grievance committeeperson call him as soon as he is available or talk with him at that time.
B. The duties of the plant grievance committeepersons shall be restricted as follows:
1. Their jurisdiction shall be limited to the handling of grievances within the geographical
boundaries of their respective areas.
2. When a plant grievance committeeperson is working on overtime, they shall be permitted to
leave their assigned places of work to investigate and process grievances within their assigned areas
after they notify their foreman and punch out on Union time, as hereinafter provided. Upon
completion of their representation responsibilities, he shall punch off Union time and resume his
work assignment. It is understood that representation activities on overtime will be limited to cases
involving suspension, discharge or issues which cannot be handled on a straight time basis.
3. When they enter an outside department for the purpose of investigating a grievance within their
assigned areas, they shall also report to the supervisor of such outside department and identify the
grievance to be investigated before proceeding with such investigation.
4. They will not participate in Step 1 grievance meetings.
C. All departmental committeepersons involved in the investigation or processing of grievances
according to the provision of this Article VIII, shall punch out on Union time upon leaving their work and
shall punch back in upon returning to work.
Section 8. Time Limits
A. In the event the Company does not answer a grievance within the time limits set forth in the
grievance procedure, the grievance shall be considered settled on the basis of the Union’s written request.
34
Any grievance that is not instituted by the employee or referred by the Union to the next appropriate step
within the time limit specified in the grievance procedure shall be considered settled in favor of the
Company.
B. The parties shall grant, on a case by case basis, prior to the expiration of the time limits, time limit
extensions on all grievances appealed beyond Step 1 of the grievance procedure. Such extension of time
limits must be made in writing and acknowledged by signature or initial by the other party. While the
granting of this extension will be made without question, both parties affirm their conviction that the
timely resolution of grievances is in the mutual best interest of all parties.
C. In those instances when a grievance resolution is accomplished in Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 or
Prearbitration resulting in a monetary settlement, the payment will be made within 30 days from the date of
the settlement of the grievance.
Section 9. Directed Grievance Settlements
In instances where bargaining unit work has been found to have been improperly assigned, and a
monetary payment is deemed by the parties to be appropriate yet no harmed employee is involved, the
award amount will be retained in an escrow account. The money from that account will annually be
donated to the Guide Dogs of America.
35
ARTICLE IX
SENIORITY
Section 1. Definition
A. The term “seniority” whenever used in this Agreement is defined as length of service computed for
each employee from his most recent date of employment and applied in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement.
B. The term “occupation” whenever used in this Article is defined as including all occupational
grades heretofore established thereunder.
Section 2. Probationary Period
All employees shall be regarded as probationary employees until they have completed ninety (90)
calendar days on the payroll of the Company. There shall be no responsibility for the re-employment of
probationary employees if they are discharged or laid off before the completion of their probationary
period. In the event a probationary employee completes the period of ninety (90) calendar days on the
payroll of the Company, he will be assigned a seniority date as of his date of hire. Probationary period
employment during any six (6) month period, whether or not interrupted by termination or layoff, shall be
considered for purposes of determining satisfaction of the probationary period requirement only.
Section 3. Return to Bargaining Unit
A. Employees who transferred from the bargaining unit to a salaried position prior to February 5,
2012, may elect (during the period of February 6, 2012 through May 4, 2012) to return to the bargaining
unit provided he/she possesses sufficient seniority. Should an employee fail to elect by May 4, 2012 to
return to the bargaining unit, he shall not be allowed to re-enter the bargaining unit at a later date for any
reason.
(1) An employee electing to return to the bargaining unit during the above window may return
at the last held bargaining unit position.

B. An employee who elects to transfer from the bargaining unit to a salaried position after
February 5, 2012, may return to the bargaining unit within the first ninety (90) working days of transferring
to his salaried position, provided he/she possesses sufficient seniority. If the employee does not elect to
return to the bargaining unit within the first ninety (90) working days of his transfer to a salaried position,
he shall not be allowed to return to the bargaining unit thereafter.

Section 7. Reduction in Force
In the event of a reduction in force, the following procedure shall apply:
A. Employees shall be retained according to seniority in the occupation, provided the senior
employees are qualified to do the work remaining within their occupation at the time of such reduction in
force.
B. Employees excessed by a reduction in force in an occupation within a department shall be
transferred in the same occupation to another department where such occupation is in use, and shall be
selected in the following order:
First: An employee may give written notice of his desire to transfer to another department in the
same job classification at any time following the expiration of his first six (6) months in such
occupation, job assignment or shift. Such written notice must be given at least fifteen (15) work
days in advance of a transfer. An employee can terminate his written notice no later than five (5)
work days prior to effective transfer date. The most senior employee(s) may exercise their request
to transfer only in the event his/her department and occupation is experiencing a reduction in force
and the last employee in the department and occupation who would be affected by such reduction
in force is remaining in the occupation. All job openings will be filled prior to displacing the least
senior employee.
Second: If the number of qualified volunteers is insufficient, then junior employees able to perform
the work required, in inverse order of seniority, shall fill all openings first; if no openings exist,
he/she shall displace the least senior employee in the department to which transferred, provided
he/she possesses sufficient seniority.
C. If an employee cannot be so assigned, he/she shall be transferred to another occupation (other than
his/her current occupation) most recently held by him/her in which he/she shall have previously completed
at least four (4) weeks of satisfactory service, and in which he/she shall possess sufficient seniority at the
time of such assignment, he/she shall fill all openings first; if no openings exist, he/she will displace the
least senior incumbent employee, provided he/she is qualified to perform the work required therein. For
the purposes of this Paragraph C, occupations previously held by such employee shall be considered in
inverse order in which they were held by him/her. An employee who does not desire to be so assigned in
accordance with the above may, upon written request to the Company, bypass a previously held occupation
and be transferred to the occupation held prior to the bypassed occupation in which he/she shall have
completed at least four (4) weeks of satisfactory service, provided he/she makes such request at least two
(2) calendar weeks prior to being notified of his/her pending excessment from the occupation currently
held. An employee may withdraw his/her request to bypass an occupation provided that he/she does so in
writing in Human Resources no later than five (5) work days prior to effective date of the reduction in
force; however, he/she will not be permitted to withdraw or resubmit a request to bypass more than three
(3) times in any twelve (12)-month period. An employee who is offered transfer to an occupation and who
declines transfer thereto shall lose equity in that occupation. He/she shall be transferred to another
occupation (other than his/her current occupation) most recently held by him/her in which he/she shall
have previously completed at least four (4) weeks of satisfactory service, and in which he/she shall possess
sufficient seniority at the time of such assignment he/she shall fill all openings first; if no openings exist,
he/she will displace the least senior incumbent employee, provided he/she is qualified to perform the work
required therein. For the purposes of this Paragraph C, occupations previously held by such employee
shall be considered in inverse order in which they were held by him/her. An employee transferred in
38
accordance with provisions of this Paragraph C shall displace, and shall assume the departmental
assignment of the least senior employee in the occupation for which he/she is eligible herein.
D. Employees with 10 years or more seniority excessed by a reduction in force from any labor grade 9
occupation, who have greater plant-wide seniority and have successfully completed a comprehensive
qualification program for the Composite Utility occupation shall fill all openings first, if no openings exist,
he/she will displace the least senior employee in the Composite Utility classification.
Employees with 10 years or more seniority excessed by a reduction in force from any labor grade 9
occupation, who have greater plant-wide seniority and have successfully completed a comprehensive
qualification program for the Aircraft Assembler/Installer occupation shall fill all openings first, if no
openings exist, he/she will displace the least senior employee in the Aircraft Assembler/Installer
classification.
E. In the event such an excessed employee cannot be re-classified as provided above, he/she shall first
be placed on any open job for which he/she is qualified, if any are available; if not, he/she shall then
displace the least senior employee among all of those junior to him/her in a different and lower-rated
occupation provided the employee meets the qualifications requirements for the job as outlined in the job
description and provided the record at the time of layoff indicates he/she is qualified to perform the duties
of the displaced employee. The employee must demonstrate he/she can perform the work at an efficient
level under normal supervision and instruction within a reasonable instruction/training period.
If, in the opinion of management, an employee cannot displace another employee as provided above
and the employee disagrees, then the employee may request a hearing concerning the matter and such
hearing will be held within seven (7) working days in order to resolve the matter. The meeting shall be
attended by the employee, his/her plant grievance committeeperson, one other Union official and two (2)
members of Company management, one of which will be a member of the Human Resources Department.
If the matter cannot be resolved, the parties will proceed to expedited arbitration.
F. An employee shall indicate at the time of layoff on a form to be provided by the Company (Exhibit
“C”), the occupations to which he will accept recall, provided, however, he may on such form refuse recall
to any occupation other than the highest occupation held prior to layoff without affecting his seniority.
To insure an orderly replacement of employees in the event of a reduction in force, the Company shall
have a maximum of five (5) working days from the date of the reduction in force to affect whatever
employee transfers shall be required, except that when the reduction in force affects at least fifty (50)
employees or a majority of the employees in an occupation within an affected department, whichever shall
be less, the company shall have an additional five (5) working days within which to effect such transfers.
Section 8. Notice to Union
The Company will verbally notify the business representative and the president of the Union and the
appropriate departmental committeeperson of all impending layoffs, promotions, transfers, leaves of
absence, new hires and rehires with as much advance notice as possible except in cases of emergency over
which the Company has no control. Such notification will contain the names of affected employees, if they
are known at that time and shall be posted no later than Thursday of the week prior to the effective date.
Notices of leaves of absence, names of employees losing seniority, and/or laid off, new hires and rehires
shall be furnished in writing to the business representative and the Union president as soon as possible
39
after the action becomes effective. If employees are loaned out, written notice of the loan out will be given
to the committeeperson of the affected departments.
Section 9. Recall to Work
In the event of recall following a reduction in force, the following procedure shall apply:
A. Employee shall, in order of seniority, be offered recall or transfer to the occupation from which
they were excessed or laid off.
B. An employee excessed from an occupation who is subsequently promoted to or recalled to the
same grade from which excessed or employees which have exercised their right to bid down to a lower
rated or a lateral rated occupation, may, upon written request, return to the occupation from which
excessed in line of seniority when an opening occurs. Such written request must be given at least five (5)
regularly scheduled work days in advance of an opening. If the employee holds equity in two (2) or more
occupations in the same labor grade from which the employee was excessed, the employee may file a
written preference as to the occupation he/she desires assignment. The employee shall be transferred to
such preferred occupation in order of seniority at the time an opening occurs. Prior to being offered
transfer to the occupation indicated in his/her written request, an employee may withdraw his/her written
request. Such withdrawal must be provided in writing in Human Resources and will become effective five
(5) work days after the date received. An employee will be permitted to withdraw his/her written request
no more than three (3) times in any twelve (12) month period. An employee who refuses transfer to a
requested occupation in compliance with this Section 9-B shall lose equity in such occupation.
C. Employees who refuse the offer of recall or transfer to the occupation from which they were
excessed or laid off shall forfeit their seniority rights to further recall or transfer under Paragraph B of this
Section. In the event the employee declines the recall, the Company will have a written request initiated by
the employee showing his/her refusal, the written request will be filed in the employee’s personnel file and
the employee will receive a copy of the written request.
Section 10. General Recall
Subject to all other recall provisions of this Article, an employee on layoff shall be recalled according
to seniority when an opening exists in another department or occupation provided the employee has the
necessary qualifications and ability to perform the work required.
The Union shall be notified of employees whose notice of recall is undeliverable. The Union shall be
given three (3) days from the date of notification to attempt to contact the employee whose recall notice is
undeliverable prior to the employee’s seniority being broken in accordance with the provisions of Section
5(d) of this Article.
Section 11. Promotions
When an opening occurs within an occupation within a department, which is to be filled, the following
procedure shall apply:
40
A. Employees holding equity in the occupation by operation of this Article shall first be given an
opportunity to return to such occupation in order of seniority.
B. In the event the opening cannot be filled by the application of Paragraph A of this Section 11, then
the senior qualified employees requesting the promotions will be promoted. Such promotions will be
subject to the following procedures:
(a) Employees shall be entitled to indicate a desire to be promoted to openings in occupations in a
higher labor grade, or which afford an opportunity for further promotion, for which they feel
qualified, but which may exist outside the occupation in which they are currently assigned. In
addition, employees with ten (10) years or more seniority will be entitled to indicate a desire to be
transferred to openings in occupations in the same or a lower labor grade for which they feel
qualified, one time during the lifetime of the Agreement. In order to indicate such a desire, an
employee shall complete a Request for Occupation Change (form 8327) in duplicate, which shall
be supplied by the Company to the employee at the Human Resources Department. Both copies of
such form shall be countersigned and dated by a representative of the Human Resources
Department, and one copy shall be returned to the employee. Each Request for Occupation Change
shall provide for the statement of a preference for not more than one such occupation by an
employee. An employee who files a Request for Occupation Change shall be given an interview by
a representative of the Human Resources Department outside the employee’s scheduled working
hours. Selection criteria representative of the work required and a review of the employee’s work
history will be used for all applicants to determine qualifications. If the employee is determined not
to be qualified, he shall be advised promptly after conclusion of his interview. When an employee
is determined to be qualified, his name shall be placed on a list which shall be maintained by the
Company for such occupation. The employee’s name shall remain on such list for a period of one
year following the date of filing of the Request for Occupation Change. An employee may request
the renewal of his placement on the list at the expiration of the period of one year by filing a new
Request for Occupation Change specifying the same preference.
(b) Request for Occupation Change forms may be filed by an employee specifying a preference for
additional occupations at any time; provided, however, that no employee shall be placed on the job
lists for more than six (6) occupations at the same time.
(c) Any employee who is considered not to be qualified for an occupation which he has specified
on a Request for Occupation Change shall be advised of the reason following his interview.
(d) In the event openings occur in an occupation which cannot be filled by the application of
Paragraph A of this Section 11, then before it shall hire a new employee, the Company shall
promote any qualified employees in the order of seniority who either hold placement on the job list
for the occupation in question or who shall file a bid (Request for Occupation Change) and are
eligible for promotions under the “last minute” posting procedure in accordance with and subject to
Sub-paragraph (e) of this Paragraph B.
(e) Notice of each opening which cannot be filled by the application of Paragraph A of this Section
11 shall be posted on all plant bulletin boards for two (2) consecutive working days (herein called
the “last minute posting”) to enable qualified employees to file bids at the Human Resources
Department on a form to be supplied by the Company (Request for Occupation Change). However,
any job posting not filled within a sixty (60) day period from closing date of “last minute posting”
will be re-posted.
41
A laid off employee, who will be permitted to have up to six (6) Requests for Occupation Change
on file at any one time, may file a bid on a last minute posting, subject to the provisions concerning
notice of acceptance set forth below in this Sub-paragraph (e). At 4:00 p.m. on the second working
day of the last minute posting, the opening shall be awarded to the most senior employee who
either (i) holds placement on the job list for the occupation in question or (ii) possesses the
necessary qualifications to perform the work required and has filed a bid in response to the last
minute posting for that opening. If it should be determined that a laid off employee is eligible for
an award of an opening hereunder, the Company will attempt to notify the laid off employee by
telephone. If such employee cannot be reached, the Company will advise the Union president or
business representative who will be given twenty-four (24) hours within which to both notify the
employee and have him/her contact the designated Company representative in a manner prescribed
by the Company. Such twenty-four (24) hour period may be extended by mutual agreement. If
additional laid off employees are the senior qualified bidders, the Company will also attempt to
contact them by telephone and advise them that they will be offered the job opening in the event a
more senior qualified laid off employee cannot be notified or if he/she declines the job opening or
he/she fails to reach the Company as prescribed above, providing their seniority prevails, namely,
that the most senior qualified laid off employees cannot be notified or decline the job opening or
fail to reach the Company as provided above. The most senior qualified laid off employee who
accepts the job opening as provided above must be available to report to work promptly as
required.
(f) The Company will allow the employee a four (4) hour period to accept or refuse a promotion
upon request of the employee. The company will notify the employee of department, shift and
workweek of said opening. Once the employee has committed verbally to accept or decline a job
offer, his/her decision will be final. If he/she declines an offer of promotion, written notification to
that effect will be signed by the employee and sent to the Human Resources office.
(g) Any employee who is offered promotion under the provisions of this Paragraph B shall be
ineligible for any further consideration under this Paragraph B for a period of six (6) months
following the effective date of such promotion or the date he/she declined the job offer. An
employee who has been promoted and is excessed or bumped out of the occupation will, on the
effective date of his/her transfer, or layoff, be eligible for promotion under the provisions of this
Paragraph B.
(h) If no timely notice of availability and acceptance of an award is received from a laid off
employee as required by Sub-paragraph (e) of this Paragraph B, the opening shall then be awarded
to the most senior employee on the active payroll who would otherwise be eligible for such opening
under the provisions of that Sub-paragraph.
C. An employee promoted under any provision of this Section 11 shall be given a reasonable
probationary period to determine his qualifications to fill such position. Should the employee fail to
qualify on this job, he shall be returned to his former position with his rights unimpaired, if he possesses
sufficient seniority.
D. Nothing in this Section 11 shall be interpreted to preclude the Company hiring a qualified new
employee where an opening cannot be filled in accordance with Paragraphs A through C of this Section.
42
E. Any dispute between an employee and the Company concerning the interpretation or application of
this Section 11 shall be resolved in accordance with and subject to the grievance procedure contained in
Article VIII of this Agreement.
F. In the event an employee is able to substantiate by medical evidence satisfactory to the Company
Physician that his physical health would be substantially adversely affected if he is continued in his present
occupation, that employee shall be permitted to complete a Request for Occupation Change for the
occupation of the least senior employee in all lower labor grades in which a vacancy may occur and for
which he is qualified and which would not adversely affect his health. The employee will be assigned to
the next vacancy in the sought occupation by seniority. Should an employee, under this provision, be
placed in layoff status in excess of two (2) consecutive weeks, such employee shall displace the least
senior employee in that lower labor grade provided he is qualified and such work within that occupation
would not adversely affect his health.
Section 12. Seniority During Illness or Accident
A. Employees shall not be dismissed because of illness or accident, and shall accumulate seniority,
provided such period of illness does not exceed their maximum sick leave eligibility, as specified in Article
X, Section 8. Any employee who returns to work within twenty-four (24) months following disability shall
be reinstated in the same occupation held prior to his illness provided he is physically fit. If the same
occupation no longer exists, he will be given work in the same Labor Grade provided he has sufficient
seniority and is qualified to perform such work. The Company agrees to make every effort to provide
employment to an employee who returns to work after an absence of more than twenty-four (24) months
but less than sixty (60) months because of illness or accident, provided he is physically fit. An employee
must notify the Company within seventy-two (72) hours of an illness or accident. The Company reserves
the right to waive the seventy-two (72) hour requirement provided the employee can furnish evidence to
the effect that compliance therewith was beyond the control of the employee.
B. Any employee returning to work following an illness shall be subject to the provisions of Article
X, Section 7, of this Agreement. The time absent on sick leave shall, to a maximum of two (2) consecutive
weeks, be credited in computing automatic progression increases.
Section 13. Top Seniority for Committeepersons
Departmental committeepersons, plant grievance committeeperson, the Union president and vicepresident, who have one (1) year’s seniority with the Company, shall have top seniority except for
promotions, vacation scheduling or determining overtime preference, in their occupation and shift in their
department during such time as they officially remain in that capacity. Top seniority for departmental
committeepersons shall not apply in instances where there are five (5) or less bargaining unit employees
assigned to a department on a shift.
When two (2) or more committeepersons (departmental, plant grievance, or both) are employed within
the same department, shift and occupation, and it becomes necessary in a reduction of force to lay off one
(1) of such committeepersons, actual seniority shall govern subject to the provisions of Section 5 of this
Article.
43
The departmental committeeperson or plant grievance committeeperson shall not be transferred or
loaned if there is work in his/her occupation, department and shift. In the event a committeeperson loses
his/her status as a committeeperson, he/she shall lose all benefits resulting from the top seniority conferred
by this provision.
In the event a plant committeeperson is, as the result of a temporary layoff, excessed from his
department, he shall have the right to bump the least senior employee in his occupation outside his
department, provided he is qualified to perform the specific work.
Section 14. Notice to Employees
Employees shall receive at least twenty-four (24) hours advance notice of layoff or eight (8) hours’ pay
at the straight time hourly rate in lieu thereof. However, in the event of an unforeseen emergency or
circumstances over which the Company has no control, the required notice of layoff shall be eight (8)
hours. A list of bargaining unit employee promotions, transfers, new hires, recalls and layoffs will be
posted on all plant bulletin boards and all other video and electronic communication media the company
may be using at the time, no later than 4:00 p.m. on Thursday as they occur.
Section 15. Temporary Loans
Temporary loans may be made where there is a temporary reduction of employees in a classification
and/or department, or a temporary need for additional employees in an occupation or department.
An employee may be loaned from one department to another department or from one classification to
another for a period not to exceed twenty-one (21) calendar days, unless it is mutually agreed between the
company and the union to extend the loan. At the end of the agreed to period, if the need still exists, an
opening shall be created and filled per Article IX. However, employees will not receive equity nor will it
qualify the employee for that particular occupation. If there are insufficient volunteers, the least senior
employee within the occupation and department must accept the loan out if the loan out is within his/her
occupation.
Employees being loaned temporarily to a job in another classification will be selected based on
volunteers by seniority within a selected department who have previously held the occupation. If no one
who previously held the occupation accepts the loan out, the company has the option to continue in that
department by seniority or seek volunteers in another department. Employees shall have the right to reject
being loaned out of their occupation.
If employees must be sent home due to a temporary reduction, selection of employees to be sent home
will be in accordance with departmental and occupational seniority.
Section 16. Temporary Lay Off
In case of required absence due to lack of work of short duration for a definite period not to exceed
five (5) working days, no notice or pay need be given; provided, that when the lack of work affects at least
fifty (50) employees or a majority of the employees in the occupation within the department, whichever
44
shall be less, the above-mentioned period shall be extended by an additional five (5) days within which
notice or pay need not be given. However, the rule will be that employees in each occupation in the
department and on the shift will be sent home in accordance with seniority. Any exceptions to this rule
must be approved by the Human Resources Department of the Company prior to such action.
Section 17. Same Hire Date
Employees with the same hiring date shall have their seniority established by reference to the last four
(4) digits of their social security numbers, in accordance with the following procedure:
(1) Effective as of February 5, 2012 , and ending on February 3, 2013, the employee having the
lower number shall have the greater seniority;
(2) Effective as of February 4, 2013 and ending on February 2, 2014, the employee having the
higher number shall have the greater seniority;
lower number shall have the greater seniority.
higher number shall have the greater seniority.
In the event that two (2) or more employees possess identical last four (4) digits, then the last five (5)
digits of the social security numbers of such employees shall be referred to in establishing their respective
seniority.
Section 18. Secret or Top Secret Work Assignments
Employees assigned to work for which the government of the United States has established a security
clearance requirement shall be placed in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that the ability to
obtain and retain the required security clearance shall be a requirement for obtaining and/or retaining a job
assignment in a job which requires a security clearance. Employees will only be released from work
requiring a security clearance when a qualified replacement is available to immediately assume the job
responsibilities of the person replaced.
Union representation maybe provided to bargaining unit employees by a Union official with the
appropriate security clearance, or the employee shall be allowed to consult with an appropriate Union
official who does not have the required security clearance at a location on the plant premises where a
security clearance is not required.
45
ARTICLE X
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Section 1. Personal Leave
Employees requesting a leave of absence for personal reasons shall first make application in writing to
their foreman. Such leave of absence without pay shall be granted to an employee for not more than ninety

immediately required and there are employees available in the plant capable of doing his work.
Section 2. Union Leave

been selected by the union as its representatives, shall be granted indefinite leaves of absences without pay
to take care of the union business, provided that reasonable notice is given to the company.
Section 3. Armed Forces Leave
Employees who have entered or who hereafter shall enter the Armed Forces of the United States shall
accumulate seniority during such service, and, upon the completion of such service, shall be entitled to
reinstatement to the extent and under the circumstances that reinstatement may be required under the
applicable laws of the United States.
Section 4. Military Leave
An employee who is a member of the National Guard, Air National Guard or U.S. Armed Forces

During such training encampment or cruise, an employee who has completed his probationary period shall
be paid the difference between a normal day’s pay and the daily military pay and allowances earned by him
for each day on which he would otherwise be regularly scheduled to work; provided, however, that the
period for which encampment or cruise compensation shall be paid hereunder shall not exceed ten (10)
working days in any calendar year, nor shall such compensation be payable for any service rendered during
the employee’s vacation. A “normal day’s pay” for the purposes of this Section 4 shall mean eight (8)
hours of pay, computed at the employee’s straight time hourly rate, including shift premium, if applicable;
provided, however, that in the case of employees assigned to an alternative work week under Article V,
Section 1, Paragraph B, of this agreement, a “normal day’s pay” shall be computed using the number of
regularly-scheduled daily hours worked by such employees at the time of such leave instead of eight (8)
hours. Before any such compensation shall be payable, the period of encampment or cruise performed by
the employee shall be certified in writing to the company by the employee’s commanding officer.
In the event any state or national emergency of a temporary nature occurs and the employee is ordered
to report for duty, he shall be paid for an additional ten (10) days service on the same basis as above.

E. In the case of employees assigned to an alternative work week under Article V, Section 1,
Paragraph B, of this agreement, the number of regularly-scheduled daily hours worked by such employees
at the time of such an absence shall be used instead of eight (8) hours to compute a day’s pay for the
purposes of this Section 5.
Section 6. Jury Leave
A. An employee on the active payroll who is summoned and reports for jury duty as prescribed by law
after completion of his probationary period shall be paid as jury duty pay an amount equal to his regular
straight time hourly rate, including shift differential, if applicable, multiplied by the number of hours of
necessary absence from work for such purpose during each regularly-scheduled working day, but not to
exceed eight (8) daily hours (not to exceed the number of regularly scheduled daily hours worked by the
employee at the time of such leave in the case of employees assigned to an alternative work week under
Article V, Section 1, Paragraph B, of this agreement), less any fees or allowances received by him on
account of such jury duty. For the purposes of determining eligibility for jury duty pay hereunder, an
employee’s absence from his scheduled shift on any regularly-scheduled working day on which jury duty is
in fact performed by him shall be deemed to be necessary; provided that a third shift employee shall be
deemed to be necessarily absent from his scheduled shift on any regularly-scheduled working day prior to a
day on which jury duty is in fact performed by him.

2. Must notify the Human Resources Department as soon as possible after receipt of notice to
report;
3. Shall cooperate with the company in requesting release from or delay of jury duty in those cases
in which the company determines the employee’s absence will adversely affect the operations of his
department;
4. Must furnish to the Human Resources Department within one week of the completion of jury
duty a certificate of jury service, duly executed in accordance with court procedures, showing the
time of reporting and the time of dismissal on each day for which jury duty pay is claimed and the
amount of all fees received by him; and
5. Must not have volunteered for such duty.
C. The provisions of this Section 6 shall be inapplicable to jury duty on the sixth or seventh
consecutive day of an employee’s regularly-scheduled work week.
Section 7. Sick Leave
A. Sick leave will be granted to employees who have a recognized sickness or disabling personal
injury and who make a request for sick leave to the Human Resources Department. Any qualifying
employee will be granted leave for a period up to thirty (30) calendar days. Those employees who are
confined to a hospital under emergency conditions will automatically be placed on sick leave after seven
(7) days of absence. Additional extensions for a period up to thirty (30) days each may be granted upon
48
application to the Human Resources Department; provided that this does not apply to anyone physically or
mentally unable to make such request, and in such cases, extension will be automatic, subject to the
provisions of Paragraph C of this Section. Any employee returning to work following an illness shall be
subject to examination by the company’s medical examiner, and must also present a medical certificate
acceptable to the company from his/her personal physician. If, by reason of such an examination, the
employee is rejected for employment, his/her personal physician will, upon the employee’s request, be
furnished a report by the company’s medical examiner. If the employee’s personal physician certifies that
he/she is able to return to work and resume his/her normal duties and the company’s medical examiner
rejects such employee for medical reasons for employment, the employee’s personal physician and the
company medical examiner shall jointly agree upon a third physician who will review the employee’s
medical status and determine their capability to return to work.
B. The length of allowable sick leave for those employees who secure the same under this Section 7
shall not exceed sixty (60) months.
Section 8. Seniority During Leave
Leaves of absence shall in no way jeopardize the standing or rights of employees. Seniority shall be
accumulated during such leave, but the time absent shall be deducted in computing automatic increases.
Upon his return to service, he/she shall be assigned to his/her former position providing he/she has
sufficient seniority. If this is not possible, he/she shall be assigned to work comparable to the type of work
which he/she did last prior to the leave of absence in accordance with seniority.
This Section 8 shall not apply to sick leaves granted under Section 7 of this Article, which shall be
subject to the provision of Article IX, Section 12, of this agreement.
Section 9. Paid Personal Leave
The provision for a maximum of six (6) non-cumulative paid personal leave days per contract year
shall be subject to the following conditions of eligibility:
Beginning as of the effective date of this agreement, employees who have at least one (1) year of
seniority and who are on the active payroll as of such effective date [and each anniversary thereof] shall be
granted personal leave with pay at the rate of eight (8) hours per day for a maximum of six (6) days of
absence during each contract year due to (a) personal reasons approved by the company, (b) illness or (c)
injury, in accordance with the following:
A. Payment for prior approved individual days will be the first pay period following the period the
personal day or days were taken. Employees will be paid eight (8) hours pay for personal days not taken at
the end of the contract year.
B. Pay shall be granted and computed at the applicable hourly rate plus, if any, the cost-of-living
adjustment.
C. Personal days may be taken in four (4) hour increments.
49
D. An employee who is otherwise eligible shall receive payment of personal leave pay hereunder on
the basis of one (1) day of personal leave for five hundred (500) hours but less than one thousand (1,000)
hours worked or credited as provided below during the twelve months preceding such effective date or
anniversary thereof, or six (6) days of personal leave for one thousand (1,000) hours or more so worked or
credited. Under no circumstances shall more than six (6) such days be granted or paid during the year
commencing with such effective date, or any succeeding yearly period.
An employee who is absent due to illness or injury, and who is eligible for Sickness and Accident
benefits under this agreement or for Workers Compensation payments, will receive eight (8) hours credit
towards the foregoing hours of work requirement for each regularly-scheduled full work day that the
employee would have worked, but for the absence due to the illness or injury, but only if his/her absence is
for a period of thirty (30) or more calendar days due to that illness or injury. The computation of credit
hours after thirty (30) calendar days shall be at the rate of forty (40) hours per week.
In order to be eligible for paid personal days in any yearly period following such effective date or any
anniversary thereof, the employee must have actually worked the required hours during the period of
twelve (12) months preceding such date, or must have been credited for those hours during that period in
accordance with the above illness or injury provision.
E. Paid personal leave days shall not be accumulated from one (1) contract year to another.
F. Except for absence due to personal illness or injury, a paid personal leave day may not be used
unless the employee reports the intention to do so in advance of the day to which it is applied and requests
approval from the company, which shall not unreasonably be denied. It is understood that the company
may decline approval for any such request if the employee’s absence would be inconsistent with workloads
or requirements of production.
G. A paid personal leave day may not be used for the purpose of evading an obligation or fulfilling a
requirement of an employee which is otherwise imposed by the terms of this agreement or a reasonable
company rule. Without limitation of the foregoing sentence, an employee shall not be entitled to use a
credited paid personal leave day to avoid loss of seniority pursuant to Article IX, Section 5(g) of this
agreement because of absence.
Section 10. Reporting Unapproved Absences
All unapproved absences must be reported through the Company absence reporting number (615-3612065) within the first hour of the employee’s shift.

ARTICLE XI
RIGHTS OF MANAGEMENT
The management of the plant and the direction of the working force, including the right to hire,
classify, promote, demote, suspend or discharge for proper cause, to transfer or relieve employees from
duty because of lack of work, or for other legitimate reasons, is vested exclusively in the company subject
to all provisions of this agreement.
51
ARTICLE XII
STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS
Section 1. Union Responsibility and Company Responsibility
During the life of this agreement, no work stoppages, strikes, or slow downs shall be caused or
sanctioned by the union and no lockouts shall be made by the company.
Section 2. Union Cooperation and Non-Liability
The union shall not be liable to the company in any action at law for damages arising out of any
interruption of the company’s operations which is in violation of any provision of this agreement, if such
interruption is neither instigated, authorized, sanctioned, ratified, nor supported by the union; provided that
it immediately takes all available steps to remedy the violation.
Section 3. Discipline for Violation
Any employee who engages in any violation shall be subject to immediate discharge or discipline by
the Company.
Section 4. Productivity and Ability to Compete
Employees shall at all times give and exert their cooperative best efforts toward the fulfillment of
production requirements and the improvement of productivity within the bargaining unit. The union will
cooperate fully to insure that all employees understand, respect and comply with this principle.
The concept of promoting the most productive and competitive work force within the industry is a
recognized objective of both the company and the union. The parties shall study innovations which
promote, as far as possible, the attainment of this objective.
52
ARTICLE XIII
GENERAL
Section 1. Personal Report
In the event an employee is mentioned on any disciplinary action report intended for inclusion in the
employee’s personnel record, the employee will be provided with one (1) copy of such report. The
employee or his representative shall acknowledge receipt of the report by initialing the copy retained by the
company. The acknowledgment of receipt of the report does not imply agreement with the merits of the
action. Twelve (12) months following inclusion of a personal report in an employee’s personnel record it
shall become void and shall be removed when noted thereafter, or upon the employee’s request made to the
Human Resources Department. Disciplinary reports removed from the record on such request shall be
given to the employee.
Section 2. Posting Notices
The company shall supply places on its bulletin boards, throughout the factory, for the posting of
union notices. The union agrees to sign all of its notices and present them to the Manager of Human
Resources.
Such notices shall be confined to the following:
(a) Notices of union recreation, social affairs and educational projects.
(b) Notices of union elections.
(c) Notices of union appointments and results of union elections.
(d) Notices of union meetings.
Section 3. Clean-Up Period
Sufficient time will be permitted before the shift quitting time, when needed, for the cleaning of
machinery, benches, etc., and/or for the returning of tools and equipment to the tool crib, storage areas and
tool boxes. Employees shall be allowed a five (5)-minute personal wash-up period immediately before the
lunch period.
Section 4. Sabotage
The union agrees to report to the company any acts of sabotage or damage to the property of the
company, government, customer, other person or employee of which it is aware and the union further
agrees, if any such acts occur, to use its best efforts to assist in apprehending the guilty person.
53
Section 5. Educational Facilities
The company will, when it deems practical, make education facilities available to its employees in
order that they may receive training to qualify them for work in more than one department in the plant if
they so desire.
Employees shall be selected for participation in accordance with the provisions of Article IX, Section
11.
Aircraft assembly training and composite utility training will each be held once per year for those
employees interested in attending school on their own time. There will be opportunities for both first and
second shift employees for both courses. It is understood that if an insufficient number of employees are
available for the school, the school shall be delayed until such time a sufficient number of employees are
available to warrant the school.
Employees transferring to a program requiring certification or bumped to a program through a
reduction in force requiring certification shall be immediately enrolled in the certification program upon
the effective date of assignment thereto and shall begin to certify immediately; participation in the
certification program will be on company time. If such an employee fails to be certified as demonstrating
the ability to perform to “standard”, he/she will be offered the option of reassignment or refresher training
up to an additional amount of time equal to the time required for demonstration of certification. If the
employee’s option is for the refresher training, the employee will then be given an additional opportunity
to certify. If employee chooses the refresher training and fails to certify, a meeting between the company
and union will be held to investigate the reason for failure and a possible solution. Following such, failure
to certify will result in reassignment provided he/she possesses sufficient seniority to do so. If the
employee’s option is for reassignment and provided he/she possesses sufficient seniority to do so, the
employee will immediately be reassigned. Reassignment will return the employee to his/her former
position provided he/she left it voluntarily; otherwise, such employee shall be assigned, by seniority, to an
available position.
Section 6. Foremen, Lead Persons and the Improvement of Productivity
A. Foremen shall act in a supervisor capacity only, and they shall not perform production work or
operations performed by a regular workman or operator at any time whatsoever. Research or special
mechanical work may be performed by superintendents, foremen or other supervisors when necessary, or
to properly instruct the employee, but they shall not displace any employee. An employee standing by idle
and watching is not to be determined as a displaced employee.
B. The word “lead person” does not designate a classification but merely describes a person leading a
department on a specified shift. The selection of the lead person shall be based upon management’s
assessment of ability, skill and need. Prior to the appointment of a lead person, employees will be
provided a form to accept or reject the proposed selection. The reason for a rejection must be noted on the
form. If the majority of the affected employees oppose the selection, then the reasons against the selection
will be reviewed by management. If they agree with the reasons for rejection then management can submit
another selection for consideration. Should management disagree with the reasons for rejection then the
nomination will be submitted to Human Resources for resolution. The departmental committeeperson and
supervisor will sign off on the final selection. Selection shall not be limited to a simple seniority selection
process. The duties of the lead person will be to: (1) perform all tasks assigned to an individual within his
54
occupation; (2) provide administrative assistance to the supervisory employee responsible for the direction
of a specific department and shift to which the lead person is assigned; (3) provide specific job instruction
to employees assigned within the lead person’s department and shift (it being expressly understood that job
instruction is not exclusively the responsibility of a lead person); (4) make job assignments to employees
within the department and shift assigned; (5) perform all other ancillary tasks as instructed which are not
involved with decisions to hire, discipline or discharge or promote or demote; (6) effective the date of this
agreement and succeeding years likewise, this process will be repeated.
The creation and selection of all lead persons will be subject to approval of Human Resources. No
employee shall establish any job equity or priority in assignment as a lead person, and subsequent
reassignment of a lead person to a specific department and shift shall not be prejudiced by prior assignment
of another employee. A lead person shall be paid a rate of pay which is five percent (5%) higher than the
lead person’s classified hourly rate of pay for all hours actually worked while designated lead person. A
lead person must be performing lead person duties for someone other than him/her self.
C. The concept of promoting the most productive and competitive work force within the industry is
an objective of both the management and union. In order to realize this objective, the parties pledge their
best efforts to study and adopt work place innovations which promote obtainment of that objective. It is
understood that both parties are empowered to modify and/or alter the express terms and conditions of this
agreement, provided the parties are in agreement to do so, in order to become more productive and/or
competitive.
Section 7. Business Representative
The International or business representative of the union shall have access to the company plant during
working hours. While in the plant, he will observe normal rules of conduct.
Section 8. Copy of Agreement to New Employees
The company agrees that when new employees enter into its employment, they shall be given a printed
copy of this agreement and that every employee will be furnished one (1) copy of this agreement.
Section 9. Rules
No company rules shall be put into effect in violation of this agreement.
Section 10. Subcontracting
A. Subcontracting of Maintenance and Production Control
The Company may subcontract, transfer or outsource maintenance and production control work
without restriction. There will be no restrictions or obligations to bargain over the Company’s decision to
subcontract, transfer or outsource, or the effects of subcontracting, transferring or outsourcing work.
55
B. Subcontracting of Tool Manufacture
To the extent it will be consistent with efficient operations, the company agrees not to subcontract tool
manufacture when tool-making occupations involved are on layoff from their occupation who are qualified
to perform the specific assignment required. It is understood that completion schedule dates and the
availability of facilities, equipment and personnel, as well as the quality thereof, will be among the factors
considered controlling. This paragraph applies only to subcontracts of tool manufacture.
C. Permanent Subcontracting
In addition, for the purpose of preserving job opportunities for other employees covered by this
agreement, the company agrees that work currently performed by the bargaining unit shall not be
permanently subcontracted if it would result in a reduction of the work force, except in one or more of the
following circumstances:
(1) the company does not have the necessary equipment or tools to perform the work in question in
an efficient and timely manner; or
(2) the work in question cannot be finished within the scheduled time limits established to meet
production goals; or
(3) The unit cost of performing the work in question with bargaining unit employees would be five
percent (5%) more than the cost of having the same work done by a subcontractor, as determined
by the application of the company’s established cost accounting methods.
Prior to the final decision to award a subcontract because of cost considerations under item (3) above,
the company shall inform the president of Aero Lodge 735, in writing, of the subcontracting proposal
under consideration, including the unit cost figures as above determined. The union shall thereupon have
ten (10) days following the date of such notice to the Aero Lodge 735 president within which to make
specific proposals to the company for the performance of such work by bargaining unit members at
reduced costs. Should the union present a proposal which eliminates the cost differential referred to above,
computed through the application of the company’s established cost accounting procedures, the
subcontracting proposal shall be canceled and the work shall be performed within the bargaining unit.
However, if no such proposal has been received by the company within the period of ten (10) days
following notice to the Aero Lodge 735 president, the subcontract may be awarded by the company.
The computation of unit costs by the company for the purposes of foregoing item (3) shall be subject
to the grievance and arbitration provisions of this agreement, with any such grievance to be initiated at step
3 of the grievance procedure. If not resolved in the third step, any such grievance shall immediately
proceed to expedited arbitration.
D. Temporary Subcontracting
In order to meet production requirements, the Company may, at its sole discretion, hire Contract
Workers to perform bargaining unit work without limitation. No individual contract worker will be
employed for more than twelve (12) consecutive months in an eighteen (18) month period. Contract
Workers will not be considered employees covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
56
Section 11. Employees of Subcontractors
When work is subcontracted by the company, employees of the subcontractor who work on the
premises of the company shall work solely on the subcontracted job, and no other, except in cases of
emergencies. The departmental committeeperson will be advised by letter in advance of all subcontract
work.
Section 12. Field Service
Employees who are assigned to field service away from the Nashville plant which requires them to
remain away from home overnight for one or more nights shall receive an increase in their respective
straight-time hourly wage rates of eight per cent (8%) for the period of such service.
When required by the company to remain away overnight, such assigned employees will be
reimbursed according to Triumph Aerostructures – Vought Aircraft Division, a Triumph Group Company,
Nashville, Tennessee, Vought Work Instruction (VWI) 1.4.010 H.
Upon their return, the employees will be credited, for record purposes only, with an amount of
overtime equal to the average number of overtime hours worked per employee in their respective
department, classification and shifts during the period of such service.
In the event an employee assigned to field service away from the Nashville plant finds it necessary to
be absent from work in order to attend the funeral of a member of his immediate family as defined in
Article X, Section 5, Funeral Leave, the company will provide round trip transportation to and from
Nashville, and, where necessary, will also provide round trip transportation to and from Nashville for the
employee’s spouse.
As customer satisfaction must be considered an absolute priority in enhancing the company’s
image/reputation within the marketplace, the following guidelines shall be used in the selection of field
service personnel.
1. An assembly field service “pool” shall be established for each major program and/or customer.
2. Each assembly field service “pool” shall be staffed via the job bid procedure with qualified
employees from required occupations assigned to a specified program and/or customer.
3. “Pool” selection shall not be limited strictly to seniority, but will include other critical factors
such as previous experience, physical fitness, ability, skill, training, certification, qualifications and
job knowledge, especially in the instance of program peculiarities.
4. Selected employees must have evidenced a history of compliance to work rules and
acknowledge his/her responsibility to function as a representative of the company and the work
force if selected for field service assignment.
5. Field service assignments will be made from the program-specific field service “pool” based on
volunteers by seniority and ability to best perform the task. In the event there is an insufficient
number of volunteers for the field assignment from the program-specific field service pool, the
company will then evaluate other program “pools” to determine if qualified and/or experienced
57
personnel are available. In the event the required employees needed are not attained, any or all
remaining requirements for qualified manpower shall be satisfied by non-bargaining unit personnel.
Work performed by such non-bargaining unit personnel, which would otherwise customarily be
performed by bargaining unit employees had sufficient field service “pool” employees volunteered
for the assignment, does not constitute a violation of the terms of the labor agreement.
In the event an employee is selected for his/her greater ability and/or job knowledge, the company
agrees to review the reason(s) for such a decision with the union.
6. An employee who is assigned a field duty assignment must remain on the field service
assignment until relieved, the employee receives approval from the company to return home or the
employee has been assigned to the field duty location for sixty (60) days of work, whichever event
occurs first.
Any other occupation or craft which requires field service will be polled and selected by seniority,
qualification and ability to perform the specific task. In the event the required employee needs are not
attained, any or all remaining requirements for qualified manpower shall be satisfied by non-bargaining
unit personnel. Anyone selected for field service will be placed in a field service department. A local offsite field service department will be established when needed.
Section 13. Nondiscrimination
Neither the company nor the union shall discriminate against any employee because of race, creed,
color, sex, or national origin, handicapped, disabled veterans, veterans of U.S. military service, Vietnam
Era veterans, or because of participation or nonparticipation in union activity.
In as much as both parties recognize the desire to provide a work environment free from any form of
discrimination or harassment based on any of the aforementioned, or other legally recognized protected
classes, the parties agree to work collectively to provide a positive, respectful and productive workforce.
As part of the parties’ collaborative effort to protect and value the diversity of all employees, both the
Union and the company will engage in and support the education of employees on workplace diversity
issues, including participating on Diversity Counsels and other similar means designed to further raise the
awareness of workplace diversity/harassment issues.
The company and the union recognize that it is needful for the company to maintain a current
Affirmative Action Plan and to submit same to the Federal Compliance Agency having jurisdiction
thereof. As in the past, the parties agree that the union shall have no voice in or control over actions of the
company in employing new employees and no provision of this collective bargaining agreement shall
restrain the company in selecting new employees; provided, however, that the bonafide seniority system
agreed to by the parties shall be and remain in effect.
The term “he” or “his” as used in this agreement is understood to include both men and women
employees.
58
Section 14. Rest Periods
A twenty-minute rest period at a time designated by the company at or near the mid-point between the
regular starting time of first and second shifts and their designated lunch times shall be given to all
employees assigned to such shifts.
Employees working at least twelve (12) hours shall be allowed to observe an additional ten (10)minute rest period at a time designated by the company near the mid-point of the last third of the shift.
Employees required to work at least two (2) hours of pre-shift overtime shall be allowed to observe an
additional ten (10)-minute rest period at a time designated by the company near the beginning of their
regular starting time.
Exceptions may be made with respect to when such rest allowances will be observed where work
operations including the handling and operation of equipment and machines, are of such a nature that the
work needs to be continued without interruption.
Section 15. Drug Free Workplace
Both the company and the union wish to cooperate in making our work place a safe environment and
our workforce a productive one for the benefit of all the Parties, our customers and our community.
To that end the Company affirms that it will zealously administer and conduct its drug testing
programs to ensure that:
•
•
•
The dignity and privacy of those tested will be safeguarded to the maximum extent possible.
The program may not be used for any purpose except the achievement of a drug-free work place
and workforce.
It will continue to employ the rigorous controls, safety checks and quality control measures that are
employed in testing other segments of the workforce.
For its part, the Union agrees to support the Substance Abuse Testing Program described herein. All
parties agree that their mutual interests will be best served in adopting this program to achieve the goal of a
drug-free work place and workforce.
1. Purpose
To define substance abuse testing practices to provide a drug-free work place/workforce for all
employees.
2. Policy
It is the policy of the Company to hire/employ only individuals who do not use illegal drugs or other
controlled substances in any amount or frequency, unless properly prescribed for them by their physician.
The term "illegal drugs" means controlled substances included in Schedules I through V as defined by
Section 202 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 812), the possession of which are unlawful, and
include amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, methadone, methaqualone,
opiates, phencyclidine and propoxyphene. The Company will not arbitrarily change the current list of drugs
59
being tested. In the event the Company deems it appropriate to change the list of drugs being tested
(Substance Abuse Panel-10), the Company will consult with the Union at least thirty (30) days prior to any
change. In the event the parties do not agree on the proposed change, such change will not take effect until
the issue can be resolved by a mutually satisfactory third party. The term "illegal drugs" does not include
controlled substances obtained and used pursuant to a valid prescription or as otherwise authorized by law.
Human Resources will administer the following "Substance Abuse Testing Program." The Substance
Abuse Testing Program will apply to the following individuals:
a)
All IAM represented new hires, recalls, rehires, and reinstatements will be tested as part of the
Company's pre-employment review requirements. If the employee has not been absent from the
payroll for thirty (30) days or more, this provision will not apply.
b) All IAM represented employees will be subject to systematic random testing without notice and
after a positive test, accelerated testing under Section 4.c.
c) All IAM represented employees will be tested for cause based upon a reasonable suspicion to
believe that such persons are under the influence of illegal drugs, after involvement in accidents or
potentially dangerous near-miss accidents which could be attributed to substance abuse or whose
performance is impaired and who exhibit behavior consistent with substance abuse.
3. General Procedures
a)
Urinalysis drug screen tests consist of an initial Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique
(EMIT) screen, confirmed by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). Such testing
will be conducted by a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) (formerly NIDA) certified laboratory. The
screening parameters and cut-off levels for both test categories are published by SAMHSA
b) Individuals to be tested will complete and sign an Authorization and Release Form (Attachment
1), listing prescribed and over-the-counter medications taken within the last thirty (30) days.
Failure to sign an Authorization and Release Form or to provide a sample in accordance with the
procedures set forth herein will be considered failure to successfully complete the substance abuse
test and will be reason for disciplinary action up to and including discharge.
c) The collection of individual urine samples and the testing of same will be supervised by Companydesignated medical personnel and collection/testing facilities in a manner consistent with the
following standards:
(1) Urine samples will be collected from individuals in such a manner as to ensure the
integrity of the testing process.
(2) Special containers will be provided for specimen collection.
(3) Suitable, sanitary and private facilities will be provided for the collection of urine
specimens.
(4) Sample collection will be supervised, but not witnessed. An enclosed stall will be
provided to ensure privacy of the individual.
(5) The Triumph Aerostructures – Vought Aircraft Division, a Triumph Group Company,
Nashville, Tennessee clinic manager or approved designee will immediately review all
situations where there is reasonable suspicion that an individual has submitted a
suspicious or potentially adulterated sample. When the Medical Department or its
approved designee determines an original sample to be suspicious, that sample shall
immediately be set aside as unsuitable for testing and the individual must submit another
sample before leaving the collection site. Samples may be considered suspicious or
potentially substituted or adulterated if the urine temperature registers below 90° or above
60
100° within four minutes, and/or the sample imparts a suspicious odor or abnormal
appearance.
(6) Container will be sealed with tamper-evident tape in the presence of the individual tested.
(7) Specimens will be labeled and checked to ensure that the name on the label matches the
name on the Authorization & Release Form and the Chain of Custody Requisition Form.
(8) The label will be signed by the individual.
(9) The Chain of Custody Requisition Form and the Authorization and Release Form will be
kept on file for one (1) year from the date of testing for a positive specimen and one (1)
month from the date of testing for a negative specimen.
(10) The lab will relay test results to the Medical Review Officer who will personally discuss
lab tests reported positive with the individual. If the Medical Review Officer determines
the positive test is the result of legal usage, the test will be reported as negative. Only
results certified as positive by the Medical Review Officer will apply in Section 4, below.
d) Test results will be handled as "Company Private" information and are not to be communicated
outside the Company, except as required by contract or law. Currently, these requirements are
clearance reporting requirements and court orders.
e) Individuals who test positive may request, within thirty (30) days of being notified of their results,
a re-confirmation test on the same biological specimen, to be conducted by a SAMHSA certified
testing facility at the individual's expense. Such re-confirmation testing only uses the GC/MS
method, and only tests for the presence of the drug(s) and/or drug metabolites in question. The
presence of those drug(s) and/or drug metabolites at any detectable level by GC/MS, without
regard to the previous screening and confirmation test cutoff levels, is considered a positive result.
In the unlikely event the test results are negative, the Company will reimburse the employee for
laboratory testing charges.
f) If there is a reasonable suspicion of a faulty specimen or if the laboratory report shows evidence of
an "abnormality" in the specimen, Triumph Aerostructures – Vought Aircraft Division, a Triumph
Group Company, Nashville, Tennessee Medical may request a retest. The Triumph Aerostructures
– Vought Aircraft Division, a Triumph Group Company, Nashville, Tennessee Medical Review
Officer will provide the employee with an explanation for the retest.
g) The following actions are considered major disciplinary offenses, and are equivalent to a positive
test result for purposes of determining subsequent disciplinary actions and processing in
accordance with Section 4 below: (1) repeated refusal to cooperate with the testing procedures, (2)
laboratory documentation of substitution or adulteration of a test sample: (3) failure to report for
testing within a reasonable amount of time after being notified of a random drug test.
4. Positive Test Results
a)
Positive test results are communicated to the employee in person by the Medical Review Officer
and negative results are communicated via personal and confidential memo.
b) If the Medical Review Officer is convinced the positive test results are the result of a one (1) time
usage of a valid prescription issued to a member of the employee's immediate family, the test
results will be pended and the employee will be subject to accelerated unannounced testing for the
next ninety (90) day period
c) Employees who test positive will be placed on unpaid suspension for five (5) working days and in
addition, during the five (5) day period, will be required to seek help from a company-directed
counseling and assistance program or a company-approved drug treatment program prior to being
allowed to return to work. The employee will be required to read and sign a Return-To-Work
Conditions Form (Attachment 2).
61
d) The employee will be subjected to regular random drug tests as well as an accelerated schedule of
unscheduled and unannounced tests, for two (2) years following his or her return to work. For the
purpose of calculating two (2) calendar years, any period of time spent on layoff or on vacation
will count towards the satisfaction of the two (2) year testing period. Notwithstanding the

Both parties to this Agreement will maintain high standards of safety, health and sanitation in the plant

drinking water and sanitary fountains where necessary and further agrees to keep the floors of the toilets
and wash rooms in a clean, dry and sanitary condition. Employees shall cooperate with the company in
maintaining these conditions. Shops and wash rooms will be lighted and heated in the best manner
possible consistent with the source of heat and light available. Lockers will be provided for the employees
of the paint shop or where it is found necessary.
Section 2. Safety Committee
A Safety Committee is hereby created composed of three (3) members from the first shift, one (1)
member from the second shift and one (1) member from the third shift, selected by the union and such
representatives as the company may select, one (1) of whom shall be the company’s safety supervisor. The
Committee shall be notified immediately of all major injuries. The duty of the Safety Committee shall be
to see that all applicable state and municipal safety and sanitary regulations are complied with, as well as to
make recommendations for the maintenance of proper safety standards. The Committee shall receive and
investigate complaints regarding unsafe and unsanitary working conditions. If it becomes necessary to
investigate an allegedly unsafe or unsanitary working condition, the shift safety committeeperson shall sign
out, call the Safety Department, and give notice of the alleged problem. The safety committeeperson and
safety supervisor, or his designee, will meet and jointly investigate the alleged problem. Should the safety
supervisor or his designee with authority to resolve the problem be unable to accompany the safety
committeeperson at the time notification is given, the shift safety committeeperson may proceed with the
investigation of the alleged problem.
Proper and modern safety devices shall be provided for all employees working on hazardous or
unsanitary work, such devices shall be furnished by the company. The Safety Committee shall meet during
the last week of each month, or more often if conditions warrant it, to receive and review any reports of
unsafe or unsanitary conditions, and will thereafter make recommendations concerning same. Copies of
the meetings’ minutes will be furnished to the general manager and the union.
No employee shall be discharged, pending an investigation by the Safety Committee, for refusing to
work on a job which he believes is not reasonably safe and/or sanitary for him or might unduly endanger
his health.
The Safety Committee will meet with the appropriate company official having directional
responsibility for safety to discuss and resolve any safety problems. The meeting will take place the first
week of every quarter or more often as needed.
Employee exposure monitoring capability to identify and preclude potential employee overexposure to
hazardous products and materials including, but not limited to, epoxies, formaldehydes, and carbon fiber
materials, shall be furnished for use by the Safety Committee members.

The company shall not prohibit or discourage an employee from transmitting factual information to
his/her physician. This information includes material safety data sheets and monitoring test results. As in
the past, employees will not be harassed or threatened because of seeking medical help. The company will
continue to furnish protective equipment where reasonably required. Employees are encouraged to
cooperate with the union Safety Committee members and the company safety engineers in investigation of
potential hazards prior to involving any outside agency. Although employees are not prohibited from
contacting outside agencies, this should be done only after the normal in-house procedures fail to resolve
the issue.
Section 3. Nurses, First Aid Stations
There shall be maintained on all shifts a registered nurse and a first aid station to administer to the
needs of the employees in the case of accident or emergency illness except where regular full shifts are not
operating, such as weekends, holidays, or where shifts have been discontinued, in which case adequate

assigned to the shift that the contractor is working overtime on and who would otherwise be assigned the

Letter #19
IAM NATIONAL 401(k) PLAN
The Union has proposed that the defined contribution benefits agreed to by the parties be provided
through the Company’s participation in the IAM National 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”), rather than through the
Company’s Savings and Investment Plan. The Union acknowledges that, in order to permit such benefits
in accordance with the parties’ agreement, certain amendments will be required to be made to the Plan
documents governing the Plan.
Should the Union ratify the attached agreement no later than midnight on January 16, 2009, the
Company will agree that, provided that on or before April 1, 2009, the Union obtains all amendments to
the Plan and other approvals necessary to permit the Company’s participation in the Plan in accordance
with the parties’ agreement, the Company will become a Contribution Employer to the Plan effective July
1, 2009. Such amendments shall include those providing for:
The participation of bargaining unit employees who do not participate in a defined benefit plan.
The acceptance of matching contributions and non-elective retirement contribution account
contributions as provided in the parties’ agreement.
Defining “total and permanent disability” for the purposes of such distributions to employees who
do not participate in a defined benefit plan.
The parties agree that, if the Union obtains such amendments and approvals on or before April 1,
2009, the provisions set forth below shall become effective as of July 1, 2009:
A. The Company will make authorized weekly/biweekly pre-tax and/or after tax deductions of a
percentage of the employee’s current earnings for each pay period. All employees covered by the
Agreement will be automatically enrolled at a fixed percentage of 3% from their pre-tax wages; and
this percentage will be forwarded to the Fund by the Company unless the employee affirmatively
elects not to have the automatic deduction or elects to have a different percentage deducted from
his or her wages in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
B. All such deductions shall be remitted to the Plan two business days after the end of each pay period
for which the deductions are made but in no event later than the tenth (10th) day of the month
following the pay period for which the deductions are made.
C. Such deductions are required to be remitted to the Plan by the Company and must be sent to:
I.A.M. National Pension Fund,
I.A.M. National 401(k) Plan
P.O. Box 64341
Baltimore, MD 21264-4341
or such other address as the Trustees may require.
D. Participation in the Plan for a new employee will not commence until the employee completes any
probationary period, but not more than 1,000 hours of service from the date of hire.
83
E. The Company agrees to make further deductions from the employee’s wages of any monthly
amount required by the Plan to pay back a loan taken from the Plan by the employee, if applicable.
Such amounts will be deducted and remitted to the Plan in accordance with paragraphs A, B and C.
F. The Company agrees to maintain and to timely abide by any deferral election form made by the
employee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and provided to the Employer by the Plan and to
provide the Trustees of the Fund with all compensation and other data needed for the Trustees to
administer the Plan in accordance with the terms of the I.A.M. National 401(k) Plan and applicable
law.
G. The Company agrees to be bound by, and hereby assents to the terms of the I.A.M. National 401(k)
Plan currently in effect and as the Trust and Plan may be amended from time to time.
H. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Company and the I.A.M. National
401(k) Plan for the participation of this group of employees. No oral or written modification of this
agreement shall be binding unless agreed to in writing.
I. This Agreement shall become effective upon its acceptance by the Trustees of the I.A.M. National
Pension Fund. No employee deductions shall be remitted until notification of acceptance by the
Trustees of the I.A.M. National Pension Fund.
J. The Company understands that the participation in the Plan of its employees is conditioned on the
Company’s compliance with Sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Participation in the I.A.M. National 401(k) Plan is further conditioned upon the Plan not being a
top-heavy Plan under Section 416 of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the Employer’s
non-bargaining unit employees.
The Employer agrees to provide the information and certifications required by the Trustees to monitor
compliance with the Plan and the Internal Revenue Code, including compensation and other information
regarding all Bargaining Unit employees of the Company. If the Company fails to comply with Sections
401(a)(4), 410(b) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, or if the Plan is top-heavy with respect to the
Company’s employees, or if the Company fails to provide information, certifications or additional sums
required by the Trustees, the participation of the Company’s employees shall terminate.
Letter #20
MEDICAL RESTRICTIONS
An employee returning to work from absence due to a work-related injury must report back to work
through the Company's Medical Department. The Medical Department will review the release from the
employee's attending physician and will determine what temporary restrictions, if any, the employee has. If
there are temporary restrictions placed on the employee, Medical will contact the employee's immediate
supervisor or designated operations management to determine if the employee can be accepted with the
restrictions.
If the employee is unable to perform the essential functions of his job classification, the following
provisions will apply.
84
However, when an employee is unable to perform the essential functions of his job classification due
to temporary medical restrictions, the employee may be assigned, at his current rate of pay including
automatic progression raises, to other tasks outside his department within the restrictions of the employee’s
functional capacity record. In determining other available jobs the parties shall first examine work within
the employees occupation and then any other assignments the employee is capable of performing. The
Company will make every effort to place the employee on his respective shift. Should it be necessary to
move an employee between shifts, the move will be reviewed every ten (10) days for alternate placement
or to place a less senior employee on restrictions in that position. The functions assigned will not be
limited to duties covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Such assignments will not result in
those duties becoming bargaining unit work. Temporary medical assignments will not establish equity nor
will it qualify the employee for that particular occupation. Employees performing such temporary medical
assignments are not eligible for overtime.
The Union will be provided a weekly list (by Name, Clock Number, Unit, Shift, and duties assigned) of
employees assigned to such temporary medical assignments. Any concerns of placement will be immediately
addressed upon request of the Union President.
In the event a job cannot be found to accommodate the employee's restrictions, the employee will
remain on workers’ compensation leave until he returns to work or eligible benefits are exhausted,
whichever occurs first.
Letter #21
INSPECTOR BONDING & ULTRASONICS (K-07)
During the 2012 contract negotiations, the parties agreed to revise the Inspector Bonding &
Ultrasonics (K-07) occupation job description. The revised job description will remain in effect provided
the following conditions are met:
Within ten (10) working days of the effective date of the agreement, the Company will post per the
provisions of Article IX, Section 11a., a minimum of one (1) opening in the Inspector Bonding and
Ultrasonics occupation utilizing the agreed to revised job description. If there are no qualified internal
bidders, the company may fill the position(s) externally.
Additionally, a joint committee composed of representatives from the union and the company will
be chartered to outline a process that defines how employees can work toward being eligible to fill future
openings in the Inspector Bonding and Ultrasonics occupation.
In the event there is an additional need for Inspector Bonding and Ultrasonic occupation personnel
subsequent to the actions above, provided the joint committee has not reached a recommendation, the
Company will post the open position(s) per the provisions of Article IX, Section 11a. However, prior to
attempting to fill the position(s) externally the parties will confer and reach agreement on the process used
to fill the referenced opening(s).
85
The committee shall present their recommendations to managers from Operations, Quality, Human
Resources and the union’s Business Agent, President, and Vice-President or their designees no later than
August 31, 2012. Should the committee’s recommendations be acceptable to both parties, they will be
reduced to writing and implemented and the revised job description will remain in place. Should there be
no agreement reached to implement the committee’s recommendations, the job description that existed
prior to February 5, 2012 will be reinstated.
Letter #22
TOOL & DIE MAKER OPENINGS
During the 2012 contract negotiations, the parties agreed to revise the job description for the Tool
and Die Maker (K-27) occupation effective February 5, 2012. The Company further agreed to create two
(2) openings for the Tool and Die Maker occupation no later than April 1, 2012. The initial two (2)
openings shall be filled as follows:
First initial opening: The first position shall be filled based upon the previous job description. If
there are internal bidders the second opening will be filled by the most senior bidder deemed qualified
because they have previously held the Tool and Die Maker occupation. If there are no internal bidders, the
Company may fill the position externally.
Second initial opening: The second initial opening shall be based upon the new (2/5/12) job
description. Internal candidates will be allowed to bid on the opening via the process as described in
Article IX, Section 11. Should there be a qualified internal candidate, said candidate will receive the
position. Should there be more than one (1) internal qualified candidate, the most senior candidate shall
receive the position. Should there not be any internal qualified candidate, the Company may fill the
position externally.
For all future openings, the Company may first promote or hire an employee based on the
qualifications of the revised job description. The next opening that occurs will be filled by the most senior
internal bidder deemed qualified because they have previously held the Tool and Die Maker occupation.
The internal bidder’s employment must have been continuous in the bargaining unit since last holding the
occupation. Subsequent openings will be filled by the same alternating basis between the new and old job
descriptions.
When there are no internal bidders who have previously held the Tool and Die Maker occupation or
who meet the qualifications of the revised job description, the Company may hire Tool and Die Makers
from outside the bargaining unit.

Rule of 80 Supplement Addendum
For an employee with less than sixteen years of Seniority as of June 30, 2009, the amount of the Rule of 80
Supplement is as calculated below:
(Years of Credited Service as of 6/30/09 / Projected Years of Credited Service at First Retirement
Eligibility) X $500/month
Projected Years of Credited Service at First Retirement Eligibility is defined as the credited service the
employee would have as of the date the Rule of 80 Benefit could first become payable, assuming the
employee works full time in covered employment from June 30, 2009 until such date.
88
For example, if an employee has 10 years of credited service as of June 30, 2009 and has 30 years of
credited service at age 55 (when first eligible for the Rule of 80 Benefit), the extra amount of the Rule of
80 Supplement would be (10/30) X $500 or $166.67.
The Rule of 80 Supplement ends at age 62, or the date of your death, whichever comes first.

SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT COVERING NEW TECHNOLOGY
This Supplemental Agreement Covering New Technology, made and entered into this February 5,
2012, by and between TRIUMPH AEROSTRUCTURES – VOUGHT AIRCRAFT DIVISION, A
TRIUMPH GROUP COMPANY, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, (hereinafter called the “Company”), and
AERO LODGE NO. 735 of the INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MACHINISTS and
AEROSPACE WORKERS, affiliated with the AFL-CIO, (hereinafter called the “Union”).
A. The company shall retain the right to make any changes in the manufacturing operation that it
deems necessary in order to adopt the most efficient system to increase production, reduce costs and
improve the company’s competitive position in the industry.
B. Technological change shall be defined as change resulting from improvements in technical
processes that increase productivity and makes manual operations or operations done by older machines
obsolete.
C. The company will advise the union of any proposed technological change which will result in the
displacement of or reduction of the bargaining unit work force sixty (60) days prior to the time of the final
decision for implementation of such change. The company will notify the local union president of such
change and meet with the union to discuss the effects of the impact of such technological change upon the
bargaining unit and the employees within the affected occupations.
D. When, as a result of technological change, new and/or revised job occupations are introduced into
the bargaining unit, the company shall insure that qualified employees will be given the opportunity to
acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to qualify for these new and/or revised job occupations. Such
employee shall be compensated in accordance with the appropriate provision of the collective bargaining
agreement.
E. If the job of any regular full-time employee with one or more years service is eliminated because
of technological change and retraining for the new or revised job is not feasible, and such employee
cannot be placed under other provisions of the collective bargaining agreement, the company will, where
there are job openings available or anticipated in the near future, endeavor to train any such employee in
the knowledge and skill required to perform an equal or lower rated job than the employee’s original job.
F. Any employee participating in training under the provisions of paragraph “D” above, shall be
compensated at the rate of pay he was receiving at the time of displacement from the active payroll due to
the technological change.
