ARTICLE XXXI
MID TERM NEGOTIATIONS
Where the Company proposes to change a personnel policy, practice, or working condition in which the change is a mandatory subject of negotiation, the following procedures shall apply.
1. Notice will be provided by the Company to the Union as early as practicable, but normally not later than ten (10) working days before the Company plans to implement the proposed change. The Union will have five (10) working days in which to request an opportunity to negotiate and submit its proposals to the Company.
2. The notice will include a description of the proposed change and implementation date. Copies of all available pertinent information upon which the proposal is based will be attached to the notice, or, if such information is voluminous, the Union will be advised as to where the information may be reviewed.
When the Union timely requests negotiations, the Company will normally delay the implementation. In extraordinary situations where a delay beyond the proposed implementation date would create circumstances involving an overriding exigency or unreasonable delay in the exercise of management rights in carrying out its mission, the change may be implemented on an interim basis pending resolution through negotiations, or, if necessary, impasse and/or arbitration procedures. The change will be superseded by this negotiated Agreement on the matter, including a return to the status quo ante, if directed or agreed.

(c) The Fund shall have the right and authority to have a certified public accounting firm audit the payroll and other records of the Employer for purposes of verifying the accuracy of the contributions made to the Fund by the Employer, verifying employee eligibility and other purposes necessary for administration of the Fund.

The Fund shall have the right to take any and all lawful action to secure payment of contributions and submission of the commencement of legal proceedings against the Employer and others acting on its behalf. The Employer's obligations with respect to the Fund shall not be subject to any grievance or arbitration procedure provided under the Agreement. The Union shall have the right to take whatever steps it deems necessary to secure compliance by the Employer with its contribution obligations.

PURPOSE
It is the intent and purpose of the parties hereto to set forth herein the basic agreement covering wages, hours of work and conditions of employment to be observed between the parties hereto, and to provide procedures for prompt, equitable adjustments of alleged grievances to the end that there shall be no work stoppages, strikes or lockouts during the life of this Agreement.
ARTICLE II
UNION RECOGNITION AND SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
Section l The Employer recognizes the Union as the sole exclusive collective bargaining representative of all employees of the Employer at covered locations, except managers, supervisors and guards as defined under the National Labor Relations Act, with respect to wages, hours and all other terms and conditions of employment.
Section 2 At such time as a majority of the employees of the Employer at a location not covered by this Agreement, which is not an accretion to any existing bargaining unit, designates the Union as their collective bargaining representative, as evidenced by a card check, they shall be covered by this Agreement, except for Addendum A. The content and effective date of Addendum A shall be determined in negotiations between the Union and the Employer. Should a dispute arise between the parties with reference to the card check, either party may refer such dispute to the arbitration procedure contained in the Agreement.
Section 3 Employees in a unit that is an accretion to an existing bargaining unit shall be covered by this Agreement, including the applicable Addendum A.

Failure to comply with this requirement shall result in discharge of the employee upon written notification to the Employer by the Union, that an employee has failed to tender the appropriate dues and fees uniformly imposed upon all employees in the bargaining unit.
Section 2 The foregoing provision shall not apply in any state to the extent that it may be prohibited by state law. However, the Union is required under this Agreement, to represent all of the employees in the bargaining unit, fairly and equally, without regard to whether or not an employee is a member of the Union.
The terms of this Agreement have been made for all employees in the bargaining unit and not for members of the Union only. Accordingly, it is fair and equitable that each employee in the bargaining unit assumes his/her fair share of meeting the Union's cost and expenses in performing its duties, as the exclusive bargaining representative.
Section 3 When work covered by this Agreement is to be performed upon property of the…
