This is a Collective Bargaining Agreement between BSH Management (operating as Blackson Arrow) and International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers Local 2949, effective June 28, 2025 through June 28, 2028, for employees performing CONUS AF GOCO Storage Services at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona.

The agreement covers two bargaining unit classifications: Fuel Terminal Operator and Fuel Terminal Mechanic. Wage rates are established with annual increases on October 1 of each contract year. Fuel Terminal Operators progress from $30.93/hour (current) to $34.58 (10/1/2025), $35.96 (10/1/2026), and $37.04 (10/1/2027). Fuel Terminal Mechanics progress from $38.72/hour to $40.66, $42.29, and $43.56 respectively. Additional compensation includes a $1.75/hour lead differential, $1.75/hour swing shift differential, and $2.00/hour midnight shift differential. The standard workweek consists of 40 hours scheduled Monday through Friday with flexible scheduling provisions. Employees accrue paid time off (PTO) biweekly based on years of service, ranging from 115-200 annual hours, with a maximum cap of 173-300 hours. The company contributes $7.80-$8.55 per hour (increasing annually) toward health insurance and 6% of hourly wages into the IAM National 401K retirement plan. The agreement includes eleven paid federal holidays, bereavement leave provisions, military leave protections under USERRA, jury duty compensation, and union business leave. Employees receive an annual $350 uniform allowance and the company furnishes all required personal protective equipment and specialized tools. The agreement establishes a joint safety committee and prohibits contracting out of bargaining unit work except for temporary surges or specialized skills. Discipline follows progressive steps for minor infractions with a 12-month reckoning period, while suspensions have a 24-month reckoning period. Grievances proceed through three steps with final binding arbitration available, with arbitration fees split equally between the parties. The agreement automatically renews annually unless either party provides 60 days' written notice of termination or modification.

Section 1. The Company shall transfer employees to any open position(s) from within the bargaining unit if employees have the skill and ability necessary to do the work.

3) Periods of absence due to workers’ comp injury or illness. (12) Twelve months

When two or more employees are hired on the same day, the last four digits of their Social Security number shall then be used for purposes of lay off, recall and promotion, i.e., if two employees have the same seniority date, the employee that has the lowest number shall be considered to be the most senior of the employees hired on the same day.

Section 3. Seniority List. A seniority list will be maintained by the Company and will be made available to the Union upon request. The Company shall also furnish a list to the Union reflecting new hires or rehires, their classification, their date of hire/report date, and termination or layoff dates. Employees transferring from other sites within the company on this contract retain their original seniority date for benefit and vacation purposes only.

Section 4. Personnel Actions. Seniority will not be used as a factor in personnel actions;

provided, however, that seniority will be considered by the Company in making layoff, recall and promotion decisions depending on the requirements of the Company's contract with the Government; and if all other, including but not limited to qualification, skills, and ability are equal.

Section 5. Steward Seniority. A Steward shall not have his shop or shift changed by the Company, provided the steward is qualified to perform the work remaining in the shop or on the shift, except by mutual agreement of the parties.

ARTICLE 12: LAYOFFS AND RECALL

Section 1. Layoff Notice. When it becomes necessary to reduce the number of employees at the work site, employees shall be laid off in accordance with their seniority within a particular job classification. An employee slated for layoff shall have the right to displace a more senior employee in a lesser-rated job classification, which the more senior employee previously held, provided he is currently able and qualified to perform that lesser rated job and provided he notifies the Company in writing of his desire to displace the less senior employee within 3 work days of being notified of layoff. The company shall notify the Union and affected employees as soon as the Company is aware of any potential layoffs.

Section 2. Recall. Employees laid off will be recalled as follows: In accordance with their seniority, the Company shall recall employees who have been laid off from the job classification in which the opening exists. If there is no one on layoff who was laid off from that position, then the Company will recall the most senior person on layoff who is qualified for the open position.

The notice will instruct laid off employee when to report to work. The employee shall report to work within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the notice to report to work. If the employee does not report to work within seven

(7) calendar days, the employee will be deemed to have abandoned their job and will be removed from the Seniority List. The Company agrees that an employee may request a later return to work date for extenuating circumstances. The company will notify the shop steward of this situation as soon as possible.

Section 3. Change of Contract. The Company shall notify the Union as soon as the facts are known that there will be a change in the status of the Company's contract with the Customer to include contact information for any successor contractors and a current seniority list.

ARTICLE 13: DISCIPLINE

Section 3. For relatively minor infractions of Company rules, the Company shall follow a four (4) step procedure of oral reprimand, written reprimand, suspension and finally discharge, but depending on the nature, severity, and facts surrounding a given incident, the steps of progressive discipline may be bypassed or accelerated. At the final step of the procedure the Company may elect to enforce another suspension rather than a discharge without prejudice to any other incident.

Section 4. Employee(s) shall have the right to Union representation during any interview that may be disciplinary in nature or lead to any discipline. Employee(s) shall be notified of these rights prior to any such interview-taking place. The Steward shall be notified and be given the opportunity to attend such interviews.

ARTICLE 16: HOURS OF WORK

Section 1. A regular work week shall consist of forty (40) hours, scheduled Monday through Friday, five (5) consecutive eight (8) hour days.

ARTICLE 17: LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Section 1. Personal Leave. The Company may in its sole discretion approve leave of absence without pay up to ninety (90) calendar days for personal reasons. The 90-day limit may be extended by agreement of the Company in its sole discretion. Such leave must be requested in writing and approved by the Site Manager through the employee's supervisor.
