Camas Agreement - Georgia-Pacific

6-1-99 to 6-1-2005 ,

AWPPW Local 5

15. During the term of this Labor Agreement, the Company and the Union may jointly investigate the utilization of compressed tour work week schedules and day work week schedules at the Camas Mill. If a joint investigation indicates such sched­ules to be reasonable and practical, then, the Company and the Union may, by mutual agreement, implement a compressed tour or day work schedule provided that at least two-thirds of the employees express their support of the schedule.

It is understood that upon implementation of a compressed work week schedule:

1.   There will be no decrease in quantity and quality of pro­duction.

2.   There will be no adverse effects on employee safety, mo­rale or attendance.

3.   Adequate qualified replacements will continue to be avail­able for relief purposes when required.

4.   Qualified employees will continue to be available for wire and felt changes when required.

5.   Overtime, call-time and any other extra costs will not be paid if incurred upon initial implementation or discontinu­ance of a compressed work week schedule.

6.   If employees want to cancel a schedule trial, a simple ma­jority of employees must express their desire to end the trial.

7.   If employees want to continue a schedule following a trial, at least 66-2/3 percent of the employees must express their desire to continue the schedule.

The Company and the Union agree to modify the provi­sions of the labor agreement so that utilization of a com­pressed work week schedule will not result in additional cost to the Company.

The Company or the Local Union may discontinue the com­pressed work week at any time.
