ARTICLE 1 - PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT
1.01 Whereas the parties agree that it is mutually beneficial and desirable to
arrange and maintain fair and equitable earnings, labour standards, wage rates
and working conditions to obtain efficient operations, to protect the safety and
health of employees and to provide machinery for the adjustment of disputes
which may arise between the parties hereto. THEREFORE, the Company and the Union
agree as follows:
ARTICLE 2 - UNION RECOGNITION
2.01 The Company recognizes the Union as a sole and exclusive bargaining agent
for: all employees of the Company at its Calgary operations excepting office,
clerical and technical staff, plant security officers, office janitors, foremen
and supervisors with authority to hire and/or fire.
2.02 The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall have full force
and effect for all employees in the Bargaining Unit, as described in Article
2.01.
2.03 (a) Persons whose regular jobs are not in the Bargaining Unit shall not
work on any jobs which are included in the Bargaining Unit except for the
purposes of instructions, experimenting, in emergencies when Bargaining Unit
employees are not available. (b) Emergencies when Bargaining Unit employees are
not available, shall be meant to include manpower shortages due to lateness and

the necessary recommendations as to which work will be contracted out and which
work will be performed by Bargaining Unit employees. Any and all information
supplied shall be kept in the strictest confidence. Where agreement cannot be
reached by this Committee the Union may file a grievance of a general nature at
