ARTICLE I: SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
Section 1:
The Company recognizes the Union as the bargaining agent for all full-time and regular part-time armed security officers employed by the Company at the facility located at 4200 Wilson Blvd, Alexandria, VA; but excluding all managerial employees, all office clerical employees, professional employees, lieutenants, captains and supervisors as defined in the Act.
Section 2: Probationary Employees All employees newly hired, or rehired after termination of their seniority, shall be classified as probationary employees for a period of ninety days (90) calendar days from date of hire. During their probationary period, employees may be subject to discipline or discharge at the discretion of the Company, without regard to the provisions of Articles VII, VIII, and IX of this Agreement. All other provisions of this Agreement are applicable to probationary employees.
There shall be no seniority during the probationary period, but upon successful completion of that period, the Employee shall be credited with seniority from the date of hire or rehire.
The purpose of the probationary period is to provide for the evaluation of an Employee over a period of 90 days. Should that period be interrupted for more than thirty (30) consecutive working days, the probationary period shall be extended to compensate for that absence. The Employee will be notified of this extension and the reasons for it.
Section 3: Accrual of benefits during Probationary Period Upon completion of his/her probationary period, the Employee shall begin to accrue all benefits such as Sick/Personal days and Vacation days.
ARTICLE II: DUES CHECKOFF/LABOR MANAGEMENT MEETINGS

The Company shall tender such deductions to the Union by the fifteenth calendar day of the following month. The Company shall also provide, on a monthly basis, the name, the identification number and job classification of each employee and the amount of dues or agency fees deducted to date from January 1 of each year. Following the expiration of the Agreement or any agreed upon extension thereof, the Company shall have the right to unilaterally cease the deduction of dues under this Section.
Section 2:
The Union agrees to indemnify and save the Company harmless against any and all costs (including attorney's fees) and any and all claims, demands, suits or other forms of liability that shall arise out of any action taken by the Company under this article.
Section 3: Labor Management Meetings The parties shall hold meetings, as necessary, to exchange information and address concerns. At a minimum, the Project Manager or designee will represent the Company. At a minimum, the Local president or his designee will represent the Union. The Party requesting such must do so in writing to the Project Manager and shall include an agenda of issues to be discussed. The Parties shall work together to establish the time and place of the meeting.
ARTICLE III: NONDISCRIMINATION
The Company shall train, assign, and promote employees without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, ethnic background, gender, age, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, status as a veteran, political affiliation or belief, military duty status, or Union activity. The Company and the Union shall each comply with all applicable federal and Virginia employment discrimination laws, including but not limited to, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, The Rehabilitation Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, the Equal Pay Act, and the Virginia Human Rights Act. Any claim that the Company has violated this Article, or any federal, state or local law against discrimination, shall be resolved pursuant to the grievance and arbitration provisions of this Agreement (Articles VIII and IX).

ARTICLE VII: DISCHARGE AND DISCIPLINE
During the term of this Agreement, no non-probationary employee shall be disciplined, suspended or discharged for disciplinary reasons without just cause and discharge matters shall be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedures contained in Articles VIII and IX of this Agreement.
The Company shall have the right to suspend an employee during any investigation or pending discharge.
During suspension the Company, at the Union's request, will meet for the purpose of discussing the conduct being investigated and/or the bases for the suspension or discharge. If, upon conclusion of the investigation, the Company concludes no discipline is warranted, the employee will be made whole.
When the Company deems any matter to warrant action less than discharge it will utilize a system of progressive discipline as follows:
1. Verbal warning, with counseling
2. Written warning, with a conference
3. Suspension up to five (5) days with final warning
4. Discharge for Cause
The above progressive discipline steps are not limited to offenses of the same type but shall apply to offenses of different character.
When Employees are suspended or discharged, the Company will provide notice thereof to Union as soon as practicable. Failure to provide notice shall not delay the time period for filing a grievance.
Section 5: Standards of Conduct It is acknowledged and recognized that the Company is in the business of providing security services to the United States Government, and that the provision of these services is highly sensitive. It is therefore essential and expected by the Company and Union that all employees shall act in a highly professional, courteous manner and shall be held responsible for their duties, functions and job requirements. It is also recognized that timely and consistent attendance is a fundamental and essential requirement of security positions; that the importance of good attendance is to prevent disruption to fellow employees' schedules/disruption to contract operations/overtime/open posts;
and that a minimum of four hours advanced notice is required for any call-off. Deviation from or failure to meet these expectations, or exhibiting repeated occurrences of attendance and/or tardiness, shall constitute just cause and result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Notwithstanding any article in this Agreement and without otherwise limiting the right of the Company to determine the disciplinary penalty in any case, the parties agree that any combination of three written warnings and/or suspensions shall constitute just cause for discharge. The parties further agree that any of the following shall constitute just cause for discharge:

The Union and Company may mutually agree, in writing, to extend any of the time limits set forth in this Article.
