NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and in consideration of their mutual desires in promoting the efficient conduct of business and in providing for the orderly settlement of disputes between them, the Company and the Union do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PURPOSE

SECTION 1.1: It is the intent and purpose of the Company and the Union to assure a sound and mutually beneficial working relationship between the parties hereto, to provide an orderly and peaceful means of resolving misunderstandings or differences which may arise, and to set forth herein the basic and full agreement between the parties concerning rates of pay, wages, hours of employment, and other terms and conditions of employment.

ARTICLE 6

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

SECTION 6.1: A grievance is defined as any dispute between the parties as to the meaning, interpretation, and/or application of the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that a grievance shall arise under the terms of this Agreement, the procedures outlined in this Article shall be followed.

SECTION 6.2: A grievance, to be recognized, must be brought to the Company’s attention within five (5) working days of its occurrence.

SECTION 6.3: If a grievance should arise between any employee or group of employees or the Union and the Company, a good faith effort shall he made to promptly settle such grievance.

SECTION 6.4: PROCEDURE: A grievance shall be handled in the following sequence and manner:

Step 1 — Any employee or group of employees having a grievance and desiring to present the same shall first present the grievance orally, and so designate. The oral grievance shall be presented in person to his/her immediate supervisor within five (5) working days from the date of the occurrence which is the basis of the grievance. The oral grievance shall be documented for the purpose of verifying the date it occurred only. The immediate supervisor and the person or persons presenting the grievance will discuss and attempt to adjust the matter. A Union steward will be present at this step if requested by the employee.

The immediate supervisor shall give a verbal answer within five (5) working days after the discussion. If the supervisor does not respond to the grievance within five (5) days, then it will be assumed that the grievance is not settled and the Union may proceed to Step 2.

Step 2— If the grievance is not resolved in Step 1, the grievance shall be presented in writing on the standard grievance form attached as Exhibit ―B,‖ specifying where possible the Article and Paragraph of the Agreement claimed to have been violated, to the Project Manager within five (5) working days of the oral response. The Project Manager shall meet with the Union’s Business Representative and shall give a written response to the Union within ten (10) working days from such meeting.

Step 3 — In the event that the grievance is not resolved at Step 2, it shall be presented in writing to the Company’s President or his designee within five (5) working days from receipt of the response from the Project Manager. The President or his designee shall make a reply in writing no later than ten (10) working days from receipt of such grievance.

SECTION 6.5: TIME LIMITS: The Company has no obligation to accept a grievance unless it is submitted and appealed within the time limits set forth in this Article 6 of this Agreement. The time limits specified in this Article shall be of the essence, and failure by the Union to take actions as required within the time specified herein shall result in the grievance being dropped and not being subject to arbitration. It is agreed that the time limits as set forth in the above steps may be extended by mutual agreement. In computing the time within which the acts herein are required to be performed, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays shall be excluded

SECTION 6.6: Any grievance settled by mutual agreement of the parties before Step 3 shall not set a precedent.

ARTICLE 7

ARBITRATION

SECTION 7.1: ARBITRATION: If the grievance has not been settled or disposed of in accordance to the steps of the grievance procedure outlined above, the Union shall have the right to appeal the grievance to arbitration provided such submission is made within ten (10) working days from and after the day that the Company’s answer to Step 3 was given to the Union. The arbitrator shall be selected from a panel of seven (7) submitted to the parties from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. Both parties agree that a request for arbitration must be submitted to the non-grieving party within ten (10) working days from the receipt of the Company’s answer to Step 3 or the right to arbitrate the grievance is forfeited.

In addition, the Company shall have the right to submit disputes arising under this Agreement directly to arbitration if the matter is not resolved through discussion with the Union.

SECTION 7.2: COST OF ARBITRATION: The expense and fees of the Arbitrator shall be borne equally by the Company and the Union. Each party shall pay any and all expenses for their own representative and witnesses. Either party may choose to have the arbitration hearing recorded at its own expense, or the parties may agree to share the costs of such recording.

SECTION 7.3: ARBITRATORS AUTHORITY: The decision of the Arbitrator shall be binding upon the Company, the Union, and the aggrieved employee or employees. The Arbitrator shall have no power to add to or subtract from or modify any of the terms of this Agreement or any agreements made supplementary hereto, or to substitute his discretion in cases where the Company is given discretion by this Agreement or by any supplementary agreements.

ARTICAL 12

SENIORITY

SECTION 12.1: SENIORITY:

(a) Seniority, for the purpose of this Agreement, shall represent the total unbroken length of an employee’s service with the Company and predecessor contractor(s) working on the contract at the Youngstown Ohio Air Reserve Station located in Vienna, Ohio in a job classification covered by this Agreement.

(b) Job Classification seniority is defined as the total unbroken length of service an employee has acquired in a particular job classification and any immediately prior related job classification from which the employee was reclassified.

(c) The Company shall supply the Union with a job classification and seniority list of the employees covered by this Agreement. Such list(s) shall be updated annually. The employer also shall notify the union’s office of any changes, in writing, i.e. new hires, discharges, retirements, deaths, promotions or deployments.

(d) Employees shall be considered on new hire probation and not entitled to seniority until they have acquired ninety (90) calendar days of Company service credit. It is understood an employee must work continuously during the ninety (90) calendar day probationary period and not have a break in service. If a break in service should occur, the employee will have to satisfy the continuous ninety

(90) calendar day new hire probation period upon return to work. Upon completion of the ninety

(90) calendar days probationary period of employment, the employee shall be considered a seniority employee and seniority shall date from the date of hire. The Company may transfer, layoff, and discharge new hire probationary employees and such action shall not be reviewable through the grievance or arbitration procedure.

SECTION 12.2: LAYOFF: The Company will determine the time of layoffs, the number of employees to be laid off, and in what job classification layoffs will occur.

If a layoff should become necessary, the Union shall be notified at least two (2) weeks in advance or as soon as possible, with voluntary layoff being offered first to the most senior employee in the classification in which layoffs will take place. If the layoff is still in effect after the first 90 days, the employee who accepted the voluntary layoff may be given the option to return to work or continue with the layoff. If the employee would like to return to work they may do so, if not, then another employee within the same classification and qualifications may accept the layoff. If no one accepts the layoff then the least senior employee within the job classification and qualifications shall accept the layoff. If no employee’s volunteer for layoff then such reductions shall be on the basis of the least amount of seniority within the job classification and qualifications.

An employee subject to layoff out of a job classification may use their bargaining unit seniority to bump a less senior bargaining unit employee who holds a classification for which they possess the abilities and qualifications to perform the job, as determined by the Company. The displacing employee shall be paid at the rate of the job classification he moved into.

The affected employee(s) given notice of a reduction in force shall indicate their election to exercise the above displacement rights or accept the layoff within two (2) working days of receipt of such notice. Failure to indicate to the Company the above election shall be considered an acceptance of layoff. No employee shall have the right to displace any employee in a higher job classification.

If job classification seniority is equal then seniority will be determined by drawing of cards. The employee who draws the lowest card in a standard deck of cards with a two (2) being the lowest card will be the first to be laid off.

SECTION 12.3: TERMINATION OF SENIORITY: An employee’s seniority shall be terminated and his rights under this Agreement forfeited for the following reasons:

(a) discharge for just cause, quit, retirement, or resignation;

(b) failure to give notice of intent to return to work after recall within five (5) working days, or failure to return to work on the date specified for recall, as set forth in the written notice of recall;

(c) a layoff of more than twelve (12) months;

(d) failure to return to work upon expiration of a leave of absence.

Upon returning to work from a period of disability, the employee must present appropriate documentation verifying their availability date and medical release. The Company maintains the right to send employees to a Company-designated doctor for release.

SECTION 12.4: RECALL:

(a) Order of Recall. If the Company determines to fill job vacancies in a job classification from which employees are laid off the employee with the most seniority, within the job classification, who was laid off or reduced, who has the qualification, skills, and ability to do the work at once shall be recalled first.

(b) Notice of Recall. The Company will forward notice of recall by certified mail to the last known address of the employee reflected on Company records. The employee must, within five (5) working days of delivery or attempted delivery of the notice of recall, notify the Company of his intent to return to work on the date specified for recall and thereafter return to work on such date. Employees who are recalled while on military annual leave will report to work immediately upon official return from leave.

(c) Notice by the Company to the last address filed, as outlined above, shall be considered as fulfilling the recall notice requirements. An employee failing to comply with the provisions of this Article shall be considered as having voluntarily resigned from the service of the Company.

SECTION 12.5: The Company will announce job openings and will post the openings for a period of three (3) calendar days (not to include Saturday, Sunday and Holidays), unless due to unusual circumstances the Company needs to fill the slot earlier, in which case the positions may be filled temporarily pending the outcome of the posting. If a job that is posted is not filled within one (1) month of the initial posting date, and the Company still wishes to fill the vacancy, the Company will again post the position internally prior to awarding the job bid. The successful bidder must have the certifications and/or qualifications, skill, and ability necessary to perform the duties of the job being bid. When the Company determines two or more employees who bid for a job are equally qualified, then seniority shall be the determining factor. Employees desiring to bid on a job vacancy may do so by submitting a completed Job Posting Application prior to the close of the posting period.

ARTICLE 13

FUNERAL LEAVE

In the event an employee has a death in his immediate family, the employee shall be entitled to paid bereavement leave of up to three (3) days.

The immediate family is defined as:

Spouse Stepchild Parent/Step Parent Brother/Sister Child Grandparent/Grandchild Foster Child Mother-in-law/Father-in-law

A funeral slip from the undertaker stating the name of the deceased, date of the funeral, and your relationship to the deceased must be turned in as you return to work in order to be paid. (NOTE: This is not an obituary and/or funeral program.)

ARTICLE 14

JURY DUTY

SECTION 14.1: When an employee is called for jury duty, he/she shall provide a copy of the summons to serve on jury duty immediately upon receipt to his/her supervisor.
