III. STUDIO ZONE DEFINITIONS AND WORKING CONDITIONS 19. Studio Zone Defined The studio zone shall be the area within a circle thirty (30) miles in radius from Beverly Boulevard and La Cienega Boulevard, Los Angeles, California and includes Agua Dulce, Castaic (including Lake Castaic), Leo Carillo State Beach, Ontario International Airport, Piru and Pomona (including the Los Angeles County Fair Grounds). The Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc. Conejo Ranch property shall be considered as within the studio zone. (See Exhibit “Z” attached.) 20. Work Time Studio rates and working conditions shall prevail for all work performed within the studio zone. However, for newly-called employees and those employees notified on the previous day prior to their departure from the studio (or the zone location) to report at the zone location, work time shall begin and end at the zone location; otherwise, work time shall begin and end at the studio. Such work time includes travel time both ways between the studio and the zone location. 21. Transportation Within the Studio Zone Except as is otherwise provided herein, with respect to work at any studio zone location, Producer shall either furnish transportation to the employee or, at its option, may require employee to report at such location, in which case it will allow mileage of thirty cents (30¢) per mile computed between the studio and zone location and return. This allowance shall be paid on the employee’s pay check that covers the payroll week in which the mileage was incurred. Employee shall not be requested to transport other employees or equipment (other than trade tools). The studio shall have the right to require the employee to report (subject to the same mileage allowance between the studio and the pick-up point) at a pick-up point within the studio zone for subsequent transportation furnished by the studio from such pick-up point to nearby location and return to the pick-up point. Work at another studio is not a “zone location.” The Union will not unreasonably deny a request for waiver of the mileage allowance for employees who report to a “zone location” which is a regular place of employment for a production. The Union will not unreasonably refuse a request from the Producer that employees report to a location which is a reasonable distance beyond the aforementioned thirty (30) mile zone. As to theatrical motion pictures only, the Producer shall not be required to pay a mileage allowance to any employee reporting to a “zone location” within Los Angeles County which is within a ten (10) mile radius from a point to be designated by -105-
