My apologies if there are errors in the text below. It's from a document that I scanned with OmniPage 11. And as those of you who've used document scanners know, they're not always accurate. I haven't proof read this document completely, so take any error you find in stride. The gist is still accurate.

AGREEMENT TO INVESTIGATE COMPRESSED WORK WEEK

It is agreed that the Company and UPIU Local 608 and 712 will jointly investigate the utilization of a compressed work week schedule or alternative schedules for use at the Consumer Products Division and/or Idaho Pulp and Paper Division.

If joint investigation determines such schedule(s) to be reasonable and practical, neither the Company nor the Union may unilaterally implement a compressed work week schedule without an addendum vote by members of the local unions 608 and 712. The addendum must pass by a 50% + 1 majority of the eligible bargaining unit employees. There is no intent to change the meaning, interpretation or intent of the current labor agreement, except where necessary to accommodate the compressed work week schedule. These accommodations are defined in the compressed work week language.

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

•           There will be no adverse effects on employee safety, morale, attendance or mill efficiency caused by the compressed work week.

There will be no decrease in quantity or quality of production caused by the compressed work week.

• Adequate qualified replacements will continue to be available for relief purposes when required per language contained in the compressed work week language.

•           Qualified employees will continue to be available for work (i.e. wire and felt changes, lockout, etc.) when required with due consideration for safety and efficiency of operations.

•           A trial period will last one year. At the end of one year the trial may be extended at that time. If eliminated it will continue at least until the completion of the appropriate shift cycle.

The Company and the Union agree to modify provisions of the labor agreement so that utilization of a compressed work week schedule will not result in additional cost to the company, nor will it adversely affect the employee.

The parties agree the terms and conditions of the existing labor

agreement remain in full force and effect regardless of what work schedule is in effect at the mill. The compressed work week schedule and memoranda are to apply only to 7 day rotation tour workers. Either party (the Union Standing Committee or the Company) may, at any time, cancel the compressed work week. Upon such cancellation the Southern swing schedule will be resumed and all conditions of the Labor Agreement will apply. Prior to such cancellation the party calling for termination of the compressed work week schedule will notify the other party of the concerns causing such termination. The other party may offer such suggestions as appropriate to correct the concerns. If agreeable the party calling for termination of the compressed work week schedule may rescind their action.

It is understood by both parties that problems may arise during the trial period. Should. this occur, the parties will meet to discuss the problem--to--reach a satisfactory solution prior to filing grievances regarding aspects specific to the compressed work week schedule or language.

This agreement is subordinate to the Labor Agreement.

I .         Meetings are productive work. They benefit the Mill, and therefore all employees.

2.         Meetings will be scheduled as far in advance as practical, but should be canceled or postponed if necessary.

3.         Increased costs and/or lost productivity and/or individual disruptions, due to meeting attendance, or to cover for meeting attendance, will be closely managed and minimized.

4.         Employees should be given the opportunity to not lose money (in terms of their scheduled earnings) as a result of meeting attendance.

5.         Employees need to communicate with their supervisor as far in advance as possible on plans to be off work to attend a meeting and their intention to return to work or not following the meeting (when applicable).

6.         In an effort to avoid disruption of the work schedule and afford employees the opportunity to attend meetings. Whenever possible, meetings will be scheduled in conjunction with the appropriate department start/stop time and last no longer than three hours.

II.          PAY FOR MEETING GUIDELINES (compressed WORK WEEK ONLY

The following guidelines are intended to provide consistency in paying employees who attend meetings on the compressed schedule in a way that minimizes the cost impact and inconveniences to the employee and the company.

Where possible, it is recommended that meetings be scheduled in the AM.( 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. ), and not last more than three hours. This will afford employees the opportunity to stay over and avoid disruption of the schedule.

When it is unavoidable to schedule AM. meetings or when longer duration meetings are necessary, the following guidelines should be followed:

EXAMPLE 1: Meeting on Day 1 or Day 2:

Employee goes to the meeting and at the end of the meeting gets paid for time at the meeting, at the contract (non-compressed) rate and goes home, or comes back to the department to complete a 12-hour day shift and receives 12 hours pay at compressed rate.

EXAMPLE 2: Meeting during day shift on Day 3:

Employee goes to the meeting and at the end of the meeting gets paid for the time at the meeting at contract rate and goes home, then works regular shift if meeting is four hours or less. If meeting is more than four hours employee reports to Supervisor to complete a 12 hour shift at compressed rate or 8 hour shift at contract rate.

EXAMPLE 3: Meeting on day shift of Day 4:

If meeting is four hours or less there is no change in employee work schedule.

If meeting will last more than four hours the employee will work days on Day 3. and report to Supervisor and work 12 hours at compressed rate or 8 hours at contract rate.

EXAMPLE 4: Meeting on day shift of Day 5:

If the meeting is an A.M. meeting and will last longer than four hours, the employee does not work on day 4 (and is not paid) and goes to the meeting on Day 5. After the meeting, the employee either goes home and is paid at contract rate or comes to their department and completes a 8-hour shift at contract rate paid at time and one-half. Whenever possible, schedule meeting in P.M. and employee works regular schedule on Day 4.

Employees who are scheduled to attend meetings which are less than four hours on Day 3 and Day 4 should attend the scheduled meeting and work the shift as scheduled.

Example: Meeting 7:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. on Day 3. Employee attends the meeting and is paid for the meeting time at contract rate. The employee then works the scheduled shift. Meeting on Day 4 should be scheduled in P.M. to allow employee to attend meeting and avoid disruption of the schedule.

EXAMPLE G:

Employees who are scheduled to attend AM. meetings on Day 4 and Day 5 that will last more than four hours may (if on shift coverage is available) be allowed to work 8 hours of regular shift at contract rate and go home.

Employees who are scheduled to attend meetings which are less than four hours on Day 3 and Day 4 should attend the scheduled meeting and work the shift as scheduled.

Example: Meeting 7:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. on Day 3. Employee attends the meeting and is paid for the meeting time at contract rate. The employee then works the scheduled shift. Meeting on Day 4 should be scheduled in P.M. to allow employee to attend meeting and avoid disruption of the schedule.

EXAMPLE G:

Employees who are scheduled to attend A.M. meetings on Day 4 and Day 5 that will last more than four hours may (if on shift coverage is available) be allowed to work 8 hours of regular shift at contract rate and go home.
