Dear Mr. Miklavic,

The following will confirm our conversation regarding the minimum hours of work offered to employees who report for duty and are released due to the operation being reduced or stopped as described in Article 5, paragraph J of the Fleet Service Agreement.

In the event that circumstances beyond the Company’s control, e.g., acts of God, strikes, etc., cause the operation to be reduced or stopped, the Company may remove employees from the payroll without obligation of pay or severance. In circumstances where the operation is reduced or stopped, the Company will attempt to contact employees prior to the start of their shift to inform them not to report for duty. In the event contact is not made prior to the start of the employee’s shift, full-time employees who have reported for work will be offered up to four (4) hours of work before being released. Part-time employees, who have reported for work under the above provisions, will be offered up to two (2) hours of work before being released. Employees will be paid for actual hours worked.

Sincerely,

(Signed) E. Allen Hemenway
Director – Labor Relations Ground

Accepted and agreed:
