13. Layoff Provisions
(For “Off Production” Daily Employees)
Any employee not personally notified of his discharge at the end of
his shift, who reports for work at his next regular shift, shall be
considered as having been called for a minimum call. Shifts
commencing on days that would otherwise constitute the sixth or
seventh day worked in the employee’s workweek shall not be considered
as regular shifts.
14. Change and Cancellation of Calls
(For “On Production” and “Off Production” Employees)
(a) Calls may be cancelled before 8:00 p.m. or changed before
10:00 p.m. of the day preceding the call for any day other than the sixth
or seventh day worked in the employee’s workweek, or changed with
two (2) hours notice on the day of the call, provided such notice is given
after 6:00 a.m. on the day of the call.
(b) The employee and the Union shall be notified of layoff
and/or work call at the earliest time reasonably possible.
In order to implement this policy, upon the request of any
Business Agent, a joint meeting will be arranged with the appropriate
Executive, the Labor Relations Manager and the Producer’s Department
Head to discuss the above policy as applied to the Union.
If, subsequent to such meeting, the Union at any time
believes that the notification policy is not being administered properly,
the Union may discuss the matter with the Producer’s Labor Relations
Manager.
(c) If, at the time of a call, the employee called is not on the
employer’s payroll, such call may not be cancelled. The foregoing shall
be applicable whether such employee is an “On” or “Off Production”
employee.
15. Notification of Work Call
At the time an employee is given a work call, the employee shall be
given a description of the following day’s work to the best of the
dispatcher’s knowledge and, with reference to calls for location work,
must also be advised if no meal will be served and if no meal facilities
will be available.
