ARTICLE VI - SENIORITY

It is agreed that the Company and the Union will meet for the purpose of establishing a seniority list for all employees employed in the unit at the time of the signing of the Agreement. Said seniority list will be based upon official records of the Union, of the Company, of its predecessor, and state and federal agencies.

Not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Company's contract covering the Base, the Company shall furnish the Union and the successor contractor a list of all its current employees together with their dates of hire and the dates their last vacation pay was paid by the Company. The following sections in this Article shall become applicable and shall be in full force and effect upon the establishment of said seniority list. In establishing the initial seniority list for employees at the time of the signing of this Agreement, employees transferred to the Base covered by this Agreement shall receive seniority in accordance with their tenure of service with the Company or its franchise as the case may be, regardless of where such service was performed. Other employees transferred to the Base covered by this Agreement by the Company to fill vacancies shall likewise receive seniority in accordance with their tenure with the Company or its franchise, as the case may be, regardless of where such service was performed. Seniority shall for all purposes of this Article be on the basis of job classification, unless specifically stated otherwise.

SECTION B

In the event that the Company finds it necessary to lay-off employees for any reason, other than disciplinary, such lay-offs shall be on the basis of seniority, i.e., the employee on duty in the establishment where the layoff occurs having the shorter period of continuous service with the Company, shall be laid off before any other employee having a longer period of continuous service. The Company shall recall such laid-off employees in reverse order.

Senior employees shall have preference of full-time employment at all times, if equal distribution of work is impossible. Senior employees may, however, exercise their seniority rights by taking a job in a lower classification.

SECTION C

Employees shall have the right to select available work schedules by seniority in job assignments for which they are qualified.

Solely for the purposes of Sections B and C, seniority shall be defined as the length of time an employee has been continuously employed in a bargaining unit position in a full-time capacity.

Each employee shall be given his work schedule. The work schedule for each week shall be posted at least four (4) days prior to the beginning of the workweek.

SECTION D

Except as otherwise provided in this Article, seniority shall be measured from the date of the employee's initial hire at the Base with the Company or a predecessor employer engaged in providing similar services at the Base, provided there has been no break in seniority under Section E of this Article.

SECTION E

An employee shall lose his seniority upon his retirement, resignation or discharge for just cause. An employee will be considered to have resigned if he:

(1) fails to report to work on the day following expiration of an authorized leave of absence, unless failure to report is due to conditions recognized by the Company to be beyond the control of the employee and he reported such conditions as soon as possible to the Company;

(2) is on lay-off for a period exceeding one (1) year;

(3) is absent from work for two (2) consecutive work days without properly notifying the Company of the reason for absence even though the reason for such absence is beyond the control of the employee, or in any event, fails to report for work as scheduled without such reason;

(4) fails, while on layoff, upon notice from the Company that work is available, to report to the Company for work as soon as practicable, but not later than seven (7) work days, and provided that the employee notifies the Company within three (3) days of such notice that he will return to work within the seven-day period.

The Company fulfills its obligation under this Section by sending notice by certified letter to the last known address of the employee. It is the obligation of the employee to keep the Company informed of his current address and telephone number.

SECTION F

An employee who has occupied a position with the Company covered by this Agreement and who accepts a position with the Company in a classification not covered by this Agreement will continue to accrue seniority for nine (9) months, after which period he shall retain his accumulated seniority, provided he remains in the employ of the employer.

ARTICLE VII - DISCIPLINE

No employee shall be disciplined or discharged without just cause, and all disciplinary actions and dismissals will be subject to the grievance procedure and arbitration clause. All reprimands and discharge notices shall be in writing and shall be signed by the Project Manager. Copies of the reprimand or discharge notice shall be given to the employee reprimanded and to the shop steward. Each reprimand shall be cancelled after one (1) year. Three (3) reprimands may result in immediate dismissal. Theft, intoxication on the job, failure to perform work as directed, illegal use of drugs and showing disrespect or insubordination shall result in an immediate investigation and appropriate action, to include termination if warranted, regardless of the number of prior reprimands.

ARTICLE VIII - GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

A grievance is defined as a claim or dispute by the employer or employee or the Union concerning the interpretation or the application of this Agreement.

All grievances must be presented in writing and filed and processed in accordance with the following exclusive procedure:

ARTICLE XV - WAGES

The schedule of effective wage rates and job classifications for employees is set forth in Appendix A attached hereto.

SECTION E

When an employee works more than eight (8) hours in any twenty-four

(24) hour period due to a change of shift pursuant to his request, or in accordance with the regular rotation of employees, such employee shall receive only straight time for the second eight (8) hours or portion thereof worked during such twenty-four hour period, provided the employee does not work more than 40 hours in one workweek (in which case the employee shall be paid at the overtime rate).

SECTION F

When an employee works overtime beyond his shift, he will be entitled to a ten (10) minute rest period at the completion of his regular shift, and another such rest period at the completion of this tenth (10th) consecutive hour if he is required to work beyond ten (10) hours.

ARTICLE XVIII - VACATIONS

Employees shall be entitled to paid vacations as set forth in Appendix C attached hereto. Employees will receive annual vacation leave on his respective anniversary date (date of hire) or on such later date selected in accordance with this Agreement. An employee who terminates his employment will receive payment for all vested vacation leave.

Vacation vests on each anniversary date of the affected employee and is then available for use.

Employees on leave without pay status (except those on extended active duty) as well as part-time employees, will receive a pro-rated amount of vacation based on the number of hours paid divided by 2,080 hours and applied as a percentage to the vacation accrual rates (i.e., by multiplying the percentage reached by 40 to determine the hours of vacation pay for each week of vacation).

Vacations will not be accumulated from year to year, nor taken back to back. The employee may take his vacation in more than one segment with the consent of the Company, but not less than one (1) week increments. If the Company does not consent to the vacation dates requested by the employee, it shall if reasonable, accommodate the next requested period of time off based on operational requirements. If due to operational requirements, the Company is not able to accommodate the vacation requests of an employee before the end of that employee’s anniversary year, that employee’s vacation entitlement for that year will be carried over to the next year and will be taken at the first opportunity.

SECTION C

An employee will receive an extra day's vacation or be paid an extra day's pay for a paid holiday which falls within his vacation period, in accordance with the provisions of Article XIX - Holidays.

SECTION D

Vacations will be granted at times most desired by employees in order of their seniority within their work shifts, but the final right as to allotment and scheduling of vacation periods is reserved to the Company in order to assure the orderly operation of its business. Except in case of emergency, a vacation period once assigned will not be cancelled by the Company except with agreement of the employee. Employees intending to take vacations shall make such request to their building manager not less than two (2) weeks prior to their vacation period.

SECTION E

Temporary layoffs or leaves of absence during the year will not interrupt the continuity of service for the purpose of eligibility for vacation, and shall be counted toward the required year for each vacation period.

ARTICLE XIX - HOLIDAYS

Holidays for which every employee will be compensated at the hourly base rate of pay are set forth in Appendix D attached hereto.

Part time employees’ holiday pay will be prorated based on hours paid in the previous regular pay period.

SECTION B

In computing the number of hours for which an employee is entitled to compensation, the proportion which the number of hours worked by an employee during the preceding regular work week bears to forty

(40) hours shall be applied to eight (8) hours to determine the number of paid hours said employee is entitled to receive. For example, if an employee worked thirty (30) hours during the normal work week preceding the holiday week, his holiday pay would be computed by 3/4 (30/40) of eight (8) hours and multiplying the resulting six (6) hours by his hourly base rate of pay.

SECTION C

Any work performed on a holiday will be paid at the overtime rate (1 ½) in addition to the holiday pay (paid at straight time rate).

If any of the named holidays fall on a non-working day, the employees shall either observe the holiday on the following working day or shall receive pay for their average number of hours normally worked in lieu of the observance above their normal compensation for work performed.

SECTION D

In the event that one of the holidays shall occur during the employee's vacation, the employee will receive an additional day of paid vacation, unless the employee and the Company agree that he may receive pay in lieu thereof.

SECTION E

When the Company requires work of any shift on a holiday, it shall post notice of such requirements at least seven (7) days prior to that holiday, said notice shall provide space for the signatures of volunteers for such work. If not enough qualified volunteers sign said notice, within three (3) days after posting, the Company shall select qualified employees in reverse seniority to protect the work to be performed. However, if too many employees volunteer, the Company shall select qualified employees in order of seniority to perform the work.

SECTION F

In order for an employee to qualify for a paid holiday, he must have worked his regular scheduled work day immediately preceding the holiday and his regularly scheduled work day immediately following the holiday, unless excused by reason of illness, bereavement leave or other good cause. The employee must have worked for the company at least sixty (60) calendar days.

ARTICLE XX - SICK/PERSONAL LEAVE

Sick/personal leave for regular employees will be paid as set forth in Appendix E attached hereto.

Part-time employees sick/personal leave will be pro-rated on hours paid.

ARTICLE XXII - PENSION

The Company shall pay pension benefits as set forth in Appendix G attached hereto.

ARTICLE XXIII - UNIFORMS

ARTICLE XXIV - INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS

Employees shall not suffer any loss of pay or be required to use vacation, sick leave, or other paid time off due to such closures, nor shall they be required to be physically present at the worksite or perform work remotely as a condition of receiving pay, provided the Contracting Officer confirms that the Government will not reduce the Firm Fixed Price of the contract or otherwise obligates payment to the Company for employee wages during the period of closure.

If the Contracting Officer confirms that there will be no reduction in the Firm Fixed Price due to the closure, then the Company shall pay all employees who were scheduled to work for their regularly scheduled hours, regardless of whether work was performed or the employee was physically present.

If the Contracting Officer explicitly declares that the Company’s compensation will be reduced as a direct result of the closure, the Company shall notify the Union and affected employees immediately and engage in discussions to explore alternatives before requiring employees to use leave or go unpaid.

In the event the airfield reopens during a previously announced closure, employees who had been scheduled to work on that day shall be expected to remain available and report to work for their regularly scheduled hours from the time of reopening. Scheduled employees must ensure they can be contacted and are prepared to report for duty if operations resume.
