ARTICLE 1 — PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT

1.01

Whereas the parties agree that it is mutually beneficial and desirable to arrange and maintain fair and equitable earnings, labour standards, wage rates and working conditions to obtain efficient operations, to protect the safety and health of employees and to provide machinery for the adjustment of disputes which may arise between the parties hereto. THEREFORE, the Company and the Union agree as follows:

ARTICLE 2 — UNION RECOGNITION

	2.01		The Company recognizes the Union as a sole and exclusive bargaining agent for: all employees of the Company at its Calgary operations excepting office, clerical and technical staff, plant security officers, office janitors, foremen and supervisors with authority to hire and/or fire.
	2.02		The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall have full force and effect for all employees in the Bargaining Unit, as described in Article 2.01.

2.03 (a)

Persons whose regular jobs are not in the Bargaining Unit shall not work on any jobs which are included in the Bargaining Unit except for the purposes of instructions, experimenting, in emergencies when Bargaining Unit employees are not available.

(b)

Emergencies when Bargaining Unit employees are not available, shall be meant to include manpower shortages due to lateness and unauthorized absenteeism. The Company will make every effort to place a suitable Bargaining Unit employee in that position as soon as possible.

          Contracting Out

2.04 (a)

Whenever practicable, the Company will not contract out work normally performed by members of the Bargaining Unit for which qualified employees are available.

(b)

In the application of Article 2.04 (a), the Company and the Union recognize the need to work toward the efficient utilization of Bargaining Unit employees so as to minimize the requirement to contract out work and as such the following has been agreed to: A Contracting Out Committee will be established, consisting of up to three (3) representatives of the Company and three (3) representatives appointed by the Union. This Committee shall meet on the 2nd Tuesday of January, April, June and September, or as may be mutually agreed. All information will be disclosed by the Company to enable

this Committee to make the necessary recommendations as to which work will be contracted out and which work will be performed by Bargaining Unit employees. Any and all information supplied shall be kept in the strictest confidence. Where agreement cannot be reached by this Committee the Union may file a grievance of a general nature at Step 3 of the Grievance Procedure.

(c)

When the Company feels it is necessary because of equipment, knowledge, skill or time considerations to have other companies perform such work, it shall be in accordance with, and subject to, conditions set out in Article 2.04 (a) and (b).

ARTICLE 3 — NO DISCRIMINATION OR HARASSMENT

3.01

The Company and the Union recognize that all employees have the right to work in an environment free from discrimination and harassment. The parties wish to create a workplace in which employees do not engage in or become subject to discriminatory and harassing behaviour, as defined by law. Accordingly, the Company has established clear policies prohibiting discrimination and harassment within the workplace. In the furtherance of these policies, the Company and the Union agree that there will be no discrimination against any employee on the basis of any prohibited grounds, as set forth in the applicable Provincial Human Rights Legislation, or on the basis of Union membership or Union activity, and that harassment will not be tolerated within the workplace. The parties agree that they shall not exercise their rights under this Collective Bargaining Agreement in a discriminatory or harassing manner.

3.02

If any employee feels subject to discriminatory and harassing behaviour, they have the right to bring their complaint to the Local Union Civil Rights Committee. The committee member(s) will then investigate the complaint. If the complainant can agree to a satisfactory resolution, the matter will be considered resolved. If the complaint cannot be resolved, the investigating committee member(s) will bring the matter to the Grievance Committee at stage three of the grievance procedure. All information gathered by the Civil Rights Committee investigation will be made available to the Grievance Committee in order to proceed with the grievance. If a resolution cannot ultimately be finalized through this procedure, the complainant has the right to take the case to the Human Rights Commission.

ARTICLE 4 — MANAGEMENT

4.01

The Union recognizes that it is the function of Management to manage the affairs

of the business, and to direct the working forces of the Company subject to the terms of this Agreement.

4.02

Such Management function shall be:

	(a)		To determine the products and schedules of production, the locations of production, and the methods and sequence of manufacturing processes.
	(b)		To maintain discipline of employees including the right to make reasonable rules and regulations, provided, however, that any dispute as to the reasonableness of such rules and regulations or any dispute involving claims of discrimination against any employee in the application of such rules and regulations shall be subject to the grievance procedure of this Agreement.
	(c)		To discharge, suspend or discipline employees for just and reasonable cause, and also hire, transfer, promote, demote and to assign employees to shifts with due regard to seniority in Article 9 of this contract.

4.03

The Company shall not direct the working forces in a discriminatory manner.

ARTICLE 5 — UNION SECURITY

	5.01		Effective upon date of hiring, all employees within the Collective Bargaining Unit covered by the Agreement shall become members and maintain membership in the Union, as a condition of employment.
	5.02		The Company shall deduct from the wages of each employee in the Bargaining Unit, union dues, initiation fees and assessments in the amount certified by the Union to the Company to be currently in effect according to the Union constitution. The total amount so deducted with an itemized statement of same, in duplicate, shall be forwarded to the Union prior to the end of the month in which said deductions are made in the manner provided for in Section 5.04 hereof.
	5.03		Union members are to be supplied with union deduction totals for income tax purposes. The Company agrees to show on employees T4 slips the total union deductions for the previous taxation year.
	5.04		Cheques shall be made payable to the United Steelworkers of America. Until further notice from the Union, all cheques shall be forwarded to the United Steelworkers of America at the following address:

INTERNATIONAL TREASURER
UNITED STEELWORKERS OF AMERICA
P.O. BOX 1400, STATION “A”
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA
V6C 2P7

and made payable as aforesaid.

5.05

The Company agrees to have all present and future employees covered by this Agreement, as a condition of continued employment, sign an agreement authorizing the Company to implement the provisions of this Article, and the Union agrees to indemnify the Company, and hold it harmless against any claim which may arise in complying with the provisions of this Article.

ARTICLE 6 — GRIEVANCES

	6.01		The purpose of this Article is to establish procedures for discussion, processing and settlement of grievances, as defined in Section 6.02 of this Article.
	6.02		“Grievance” as used in this Agreement is a complaint or request involving any matter relating to wages, hours or working conditions, including any question of interpretation or application of, or compliance with, the provisions of this Agreement, and shall only relate to or concern any grievance which has arisen or arises subsequent to the date of this Agreement.
	6.03		Union Officers, Stewards and Committeemen, with the approval of their immediate supervisor, shall be permitted to leave their jobs to investigate and adjust grievances and to attend to their duties under this Agreement.
	6.04		Any grievance must be presented within ten (10) working days of its occurrence or otherwise it shall not be considered. In the case of a grievance concerning wages, the ten (10) working day period shall date from the date on which the employee receives his pay cheque.
	6.05 Step 1		The grievance committeeman with or without the aggrieved employee may present the grievance to the employee’s immediate salaried supervisor. The supervisor shall make his reply verbally or in writing within two (2) days of receipt of the grievance.
	6.05 Step 2		Should the grievance committeeman or the employee be dissatisfied with the Company disposition of such complaint or request, he may refer such matter on a written form to management within three (3) further working days. Management shall answer the grievance in writing within three (3) working days or a time

   mutually agreed upon.

	6.05 Step 3		If no settlement is reached in Step Two (2), the grievance committee and representatives of management will meet within seven (7) working days to discuss the complaint. The Union’s representative may be in attendance at this meeting. If the grievance is not then settled, then at the request of either party to this Agreement the grievance may be referred to arbitration. If notice of arbitration is not given within a further twenty (20) calendar days, unless further time is mutually agreed upon, the grievance will be deemed to have been settled.
	6.06		The Union and the Company shall have the right to initiate a group grievance or a grievance of a general nature, at Step Three (3) of the grievance procedure.
	6.07		If the Union does not advance a grievance from Step One (1) to Step Two (2), or from Step Two (2) to Step Three (3) with-in the agreed time limit, the grievance shall be considered withdrawn. Failure of the Company to reply to the grievance at any step shall automatically advance the grievance to the next step.

ARTICLE 7 — ARBITRATION

7.01

Whenever pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement a reference to arbitration is involved, the Company or the Union shall, within twenty (20) days following receipt of a decision in step (3) notify the other party, in writing, of intent to arbitrate. This notice shall:

	(a)		state the matter at issue and in what respect the agreement has been violated or misinterpreted by reference to the specific clause or clauses relied upon. Notwithstanding the above, the board may take into consideration all matters, clauses and evidence which in its opinion has a bearing on the grievance or question referred to arbitration, and
	(b)		state the nature of the relief or remedy sought.

7.02

(a) Single Arbitrator

The Company and the Union agree that the following persons constitute the panel of arbitrators from which will be selected a single arbitrator for each grievance requiring arbitration under this Agreement:

1. Gerald Hawco
2. Tom Joliffe
3. Allan Beatty
4. Alex Trawick

(b)

Selection of Arbitrator

The method of selecting a single arbitrator shall be by rotation, starting with the order of the names listed above. If the arbitrator so selected is unable to act, then the arbitrator next on the list of names shall be selected. Unless otherwise agreed to, a single arbitrator will be appointed for each grievance or group grievance. No member of the panel of arbitrators may be removed from the panel unless it is mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Union. If a member of the panel is unable to continue to act as an arbitrator, a new member may be appointed; the appointment is to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Union.

	7.03		At any stage of the grievance procedure including arbitration the conferring parties may have the assistance of the employee or employees concerned and any necessary witnesses, and all reasonable arrangement will be made to permit the conferring parties to have access to the plant and to view disputed operations.
	7.04		The arbitrator shall have power to deal with matters involving the interpretation, application or alleged violation of this Agreement and shall not rule on any other matter nor shall they have the right to alter, amend, set aside, add to or delete from any one of the provisions herein contained, nor to render any decision which is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or the Statutes of Alberta.
	7.05		All time limits specified in Articles 6 and 7 shall be deemed to be exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and Company recognized holidays and may be extended by mutual consent of the parties or by the Arbitrator.
	7.06		Each of the parties concerned shall pay its own costs and the fees and expenses of witnesses called by it and its representatives. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator, stenographic assistance and rents shall be shared equally between the parties.
	7.07		The parties agree to abide by the provisions of Articles 6 and 7 as the only means of resolving any difference which may arise during the term of this Agreement, and all employees shall continue to work as usual and the Company shall continue its normal operating practices.

ARTICLE 8 — DISCHARGE AND DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE

8.01

Management shall not take disciplinary action without first warning the employee, unless the circumstances justify immediate suspension or discharge. In the event of a claim that an employee has been discharged or suspended unjustly or

unreasonably, the grievance shall be filed at Step Three (3) of the grievance procedure within five (5) working days.

8.02 (a)

Warnings shall be given in writing to the employee and a copy shall be sent by mail to the Union. The Company and the Union agree that disciplinary penalties shall not be imposed unreasonably or unjustly. In cases where justified penalties and warnings (excluding dismissals) have been given to an employee, it is understood and agreed that if an employee is not given a justified penalty and/or warning within a continuous period of twelve (12) months, his employment record shall be cleared of any deficiencies, and shall not be used against the employee thereafter.

(b)

An employee who the Company intends to suspend shall be retained at or returned to active work until any grievance contesting such suspension is finally resolved through the grievance procedure.

	8.03		If it is determined or agreed at any steps in the grievance procedure or decided by an arbitrator that an employee has been disciplined or discharged unjustly, the Management shall put him back on his job with no loss of seniority, and they shall pay the employee the amount he would have earned had he been working or by any other arrangement as to compensation, which is just and equitable in the opinion of the parties or in the opinion of the arbitrator if the matter is referred to such an arbitrator.
	8.04		Any employee who is discharged, laid off or leaves of his own accord shall be paid all wages due him on the pay day when such wages would normally be due and payable, unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Company and the Union.
	8.05		No employee shall be subject to any disciplinary action by a foreman or supervisor without having a Union representative present, where such action is to be part of an employee’s record.
	8.06		The Union shall be immediately notified, in writing, as to reasons for the dismissal of any member of the Bargaining Unit.

ARTICLE 9 — SENIORITY

9.02 (a)

The parties recognize that job opportunity and seniority shall increase in proportion to length of service. It is, therefore, agreed that in all cases of vacancy, promotion, transfer, lay-off, termination and rehiring after lay-off or termination, senior employees shall be entitled to preference.

(b)

In recognition, however, of the responsibility of Management for the efficient

operation of the plant, it is understood and agreed that in all such cases, Management shall have the right to pass over any employee, if it is able to establish with the employee and the Union, that he does not have the ability or the physical fitness to perform the work with due regard to Article 6 of this Agreement.

9.02

PROBATIONARY PERIOD — A new employee shall be on probation for a period of six (6) calendar months. Upon completion of the probationary period, an employee shall acquire seniority status, and shall be credited with service from his original hiring date.

Article 6 shall not apply to probationary employees, except in cases involving discrimination.

9.03

9.04

LOSS OF SENIORITY — An employee shall lose his seniority standing and his name shall be removed from all seniority lists for any one of the following reasons:

	(a)		If an employee quits;
	(b)		If the employee is discharged for proper cause, and is not reinstated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;
	(c)		If the employee is laid off and fails to notify the Company within five (5)

working days of his intention as to whether he intends to return to work or not, after having been notified to do so by the Company by registered mail to his last known address, and fails to return to work in ten (10) working days after receipt of the registered notice, as stated above; copy of such notice to be sent to the Union. Exceptions to this rule will be extenuating circumstances.

	(b)		employee’s name and clock number.

Additional revised lists will be furnished to the Union as requested from time to time, and within ten (10) days of said request. The Union agrees not to make such requests more frequently than once every two (2) months. Seniority lists shall include all Bargaining Unit employees on the payroll at the time such seniority list is prepared.

The Company shall also prepare a maintenance department seniority list that shall

include all tradesmen and apprentices, and the starting date on such seniority list shall be the date upon which the employee enters the maintenance department.

Employees having the same starting date, on either the plant-wide seniority list or the maintenance department seniority list shall appear and receive preference in alphabetical order.

	9.06		TRANSFER TO JOBS OUTSIDE OF BARGAINING UNIT -
	9.06(a)		Employees who are transferred through the Bargaining Unit to any other part of the Company’s service shall retain and shall accumulate seniority in the bargaining unit to a maximum of twelve ( 12 ) cumulative months. During these periods of time, that the employee is transferred outside of the bargaining unit, the Company may elect to return the employee to his former position in the bargaining unit, or the employee may elect to return to his former position held in the Bargaining Unit.

(a)

Job vacancy notices will be posted, within five (5) working days, on the bulletin board for three (3) full working days, but not longer than four (4) working days. The job requirements and qualifications shall be listed on the job vacancy notices.

The name of the successful bidder will be posted after three (3) days of removal of notice from the bulletin board unless this time is extended by mutual agreement.

	(b)		Applications will be made to the Management on a form supplied by the Company.
	(c)		Any grievance concerning assignments made under job posting must be filed within five (5) working days after the assignments are posted.
	(d)		Probationary employees shall be eligible to bid for posted job vacancies, but the Company may assign such employees to any vacancies, if the jobs cannot be filled by the bidding procedures.
	(e)		A job vacancy need not be posted a second time within thirty (30) days, if there are enough suitable applicants from the first posting to fill the vacancy or vacancies.
	(f)		An employee may apply for a lower paid job in any department, or for a job at equal pay in a different department after four (4) working months in his current job.
	(g)		If an employee has been a successful bidder under the job posting provision, then he may be ruled ineligible during his next three (3) working months for a job less than two (2) job classes higher than his classification at the time.
	(h)		In cases of job vacancies not being posted, information will be supplied to the Union upon request. Employees who are absent, while the job is up, can have one of the Union executive committee members sign his name and the member of the Union executive must place his initials against the name of the employee. The absent employee must request this for each job bid from one of the executive committee members.
	(i)		In the event that an employee selected for the job proves to be unsuitable for the position, he shall revert to his former position and status in accordance to seniority.
	(j)		In the event that a foreman wishes to discuss with an employee his suitability for a posted job, the employee may be accompanied by a Union committee member.
	(k)		The Company shall provide the Union with a list of jobs that each employee has held, or is deemed to have held, under the job posting provision. This list shall be updated bi-yearly.
	(l)		All requests by employees to be taken off a bid job must be in writing and shall include an explanation for such request. Such requests shall not be unreasonably denied.

	(n)		The successful bidder must be on the job within ten (10) days of being notified as the successful bidder.
	(o)		For tradesmen or apprentices bidding on a job posting, other than Maintenance department job bids which shall be determined by Maintenance department seniority, their plant seniority shall be the seniority used to determine their eligibility on any such job vacancy.
	(p)		Employees requesting a transfer, in the same job classification, between plants when one plant is on a two shift operation and the other plant is on a three shift operation, shall be granted such transfer request with due regard to seniority. An employee shall not make such request more often than once every three months.

9.08

If a temporary shortage of work occurs for a period of five (5) working days or less, employees affected shall have the option, upon the commencement of their next regularly scheduled shift, of accepting the lay-off or filling non-bid jobs in the labour pool, and retaining their rates of pay.

(a)

Filling non-bid jobs in the labour pool shall be subject to seniority regulations in the bumping procedure.

9.09

RECALL PROCEDURE — In the case of recall of employees on lay-off status, the following procedure shall apply:

	(a)		Senior employees who decline recall to work which they are informed is temporary, and of limited duration, shall not thereby forfeit their seniority. They shall not be eligible to displace junior employees during the estimated period of employment for which they declined recall, and they shall not be eligible for further temporary recall as above until they notify the Manager, Human Resources of their subsequent availability for work.
	(b)		The Union shall be supplied with a list of those employees who the Company has been unable to contact, or who have refused, for a temporary recall. The Company and the Union shall coordinate their efforts to contact those employees.

Temporary transfers can be made to jobs under this Collective Agreement for a maximum of forty-five (45) calendar days to enable the Company to meet operational requirements, or to hire and/or train employees and pending

assignments made under job posting providing that temporary transfers will not be used to deny senior employees the right to fill jobs under the job posting provision. Senior employees shall be entitled to the right of refusal or acceptance of such temporary transfers.

	(b)		Temporary transfers of ten (10) working days or less can be made without regard to seniority regulations in Article (a) above, but not on a continuing basis. When there is a known vacancy, of one scheduled week or more, senior employees will be used whenever possible. If the senior employee is not used, he shall receive the higher of the two rates of pay.
	(c)		The Company shall maintain a list of all employees who are on temporary transfer. Such list shall be made available for review by the Union at any time.
	(d)		When an employee is off work due to illness or accident for more than forty-five (45) days, his job will then be put up for temporary bid. Upon returning from accident or illness, the individual will retain his job and bump out the temporary bidder even if the temporary bidder is senior. However, the temporary bidder shall hold recall rights to the position.

9.11
