the Memorandum of Agreement.

(b)(1) The regular schedule of operating employees in Power Plants and

all departments regularly scheduled to work in shifts (either overlapping

shifts, two-shift or three-shift operation) will be five (5) days of eight (8)

consecutive hours per week provided, however, that the regular

schedules may be changed upon twenty-four (24) hours advance notice.

(b)(3) Except as provided in Paragraph 35(c), Operators or Helper when

scheduled on maintenance and reassigned without notice to operations

during the day shift will retain the same quitting time as maintenance

employees and will be paid at the overtime rate for any time worked outside

to work on the day shift in operations and are reassigned without notice to

work in maintenance will be paid at the overtime rate for hours worked

outside the work schedule for operating employees on the day shift.

(c) For prearranged repair or maintenance jobs, or emergency repairs or

maintenance jobs, employees may be re scheduled per the following

provisions:

When one or more units are scheduled under either Paragraph 35(c)(1)

scheduled. Employees under this condition will be allowed to work on

any of the posted units on their posted schedule.

Nuclear 4

Where only one unit is posted under either Paragraph 35(c)(1) or

35(c)(2) and subsequently a new unit(s) requires work to be performed

under either Paragraph 35(c)(1) or 35(c)(2), a new schedule will be

posted. This posting will define the scope of work, the hours and days of

work, and under which subparagraph of Paragraph 35(c) the work is

being performed.

The overtime list will be used to make assignments unless the entire

classification is being assigned equivalent hours, or no overtime work is

planned. Such rescheduled employees may be assigned to any shift

needed, and will be paid the equivalent of the operator’s shift differential.

All hours worked for the next twenty-four (24) hours following a change

in schedules, where the twenty-four (24) hours notice was not given,

shall be paid for at one and one-half (1-1/2) times the regular straight-time

hourly rate until the expiration of the twenty-four (24) hours notice.

Such rescheduled employees will be paid at their respective overtime

rates plus appropriate shift differential for any work done on their

respective normal days off.

(c)(1) Employees may be rescheduled to work on two (2) or three (3)

shifts per day basis (by giving at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior

notice) to handle jobs which will require more than four (4) days for

completion on a rush basis. For the purpose of this paragraph, "rush

basis" means the work will be scheduled at least six (6) days per week.

(c)(2) Employees may be rescheduled to work on two (2) or three (3)

shifts per day basis (by giving at least twenty-four (24) hours prior

notice) for a minimum period of two (2) days and a maximum of four (4)

type more than one time during a pay period.

(d) A Watch Person may be assigned such schedules as work and duties

may require and will be paid overtime for hours worked in excess of

forty (40) hours per week.

(e) In connection with the overtime hours provisions of subparagraphs

(a),(b) and (c) of this paragraph, all overtime hours worked will be paid

for and no employees shall be required to take time off to offset overtime

hours worked. The following hours of labor shall be deemed to be

overtime hours:

      (1) All hours over forty (40) per work week.

      (2) All off schedule work.

Nuclear 5

Overtime hours will be paid, except as otherwise provided for herein, at

one and one-half (1-1/2) times the regular straight-time hourly rate.

There shall be no compounding of overtime or premium pay; namely,

duplication of premium or overtime payment.

(f) For planned work involving overtime, in Nuclear Division schedule

for non-shift employees shall be considered changed when both the

starting and stopping times are changed for two (2) consecutive days or

more regardless of the number of hours worked per day. In these cases,

the first eight (8) hours within the period 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. shall be

the regular schedule.

(g) It is further agreed that from time to time employees regularly

assigned to a schedule outside the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. may

be rescheduled for the Company Orientation Program, Apprentice

Instructor Meetings, Switching Schools, or other occasions that must be

mutually agreed upon between the Company and Union prior to any

rescheduling. Such employee will be rescheduled to a workweek as

unless by mutual agreement between the employee and the employee’s

supervisor, the employee is reassigned to the employee’s previous

schedule.

TWELVE (12) HOUR SHIFTS

SCOPE:

The following changes are required to assure a cost-effective

implementation of a twelve (12) hour shift schedule. This schedule will

be offered at those locations selected by the Company. Seventy-five

percent (75%) of the Bargaining Unit employees affected by the schedule

change must vote in favor of the twelve (12) hour shift in order for

implementation at that location. At such time, the employees will select

the hours of work (i.e., 6-6,7-7,8-8). Voting will be administered

Nuclear 6

By the Chief Job Steward and the Supervisor at the affected location

The Company and Union will review this process each year to improve

its effectiveness and either party may terminate the agreement at the end

of the term of the contract period.

Once a twelve (12) hour shift has been voted into a work location, it will

remain in effect for a minimum of one (1) year. After that the Bargaining

Unit employees can petition for a vote with the signatures of 80% of the

Bargaining Unit employees affected. The vote would be administered the

same as above.

Vacations:

Vacations shall be taken consistent with Paragraph 8 of the

Memorandum of Agreement, except that vacation shall be considered by

hours and charged accordingly (e.g., an employee scheduled for a twelve

(12) hour work period would be charged twelve (12) hours vacation).

Holidays:

Holiday Worked:

    Employee receives eight (8) hours of holiday pay plus twelve (12)
    hours at one and one-half (1 1/2) times the employee’s normal
    hourly rate.

    Employee scheduled off or employee requests to be scheduled off
    (Company grants request).

    Employee receives eight (8) hours of holiday pay, employee is
    allowed to choose vacation or "employee request" (unpaid) for the
    difference between the employee’s normal schedule hours and the
    eight (8) hours holiday pay.

As per Paragraph 36, all off-scheduled hours worked on days the

employee observes as a holiday shall be paid for at double time. When

an employee has more than four (4) consecutive days off, and the holiday

falls on one of these days off, the closest scheduled work day will be

observed as the holiday. The holiday will be observed on the last

scheduled workday if the holiday falls in the middle day of an odd

number of days off. Holiday pay may be taken as additional hours of

vacation the following year at the employee’s request.

Nuclear 5

Employee Illness – Death in Family – Serious Illness in Family:

Employee illness-death in family shall be taken consistent with

Paragraph 6 of the Memorandum of Agreement except that sick leave

shall be considered by hours and charged accordingly (e.g., an eligible

employee who is absent due to a bona fide illness who is regularly

scheduled to work twelve (12) hours, will be charged twelve (12) hours

sick leave).

Jury Duty:

The provisions of Paragraph 9 shall apply relative to time off to perform

jury duty except that "eight (8)" shall be replaced by "twelve (12)".

Schedule of Work (Paragraph 35)

(b) The regular schedule hours of work for operating employees will

consist of seven (7) workdays in a normal two-week pay period. Three

(3) workdays will be scheduled in one week with four (4) workdays in

the other. The maximum normal schedule length will be twelve (12)

hours. A minimum of eighty (80) total equivalent straight time hours

will be scheduled in any pay period. Regular schedules may be changed

upon twenty-four (24) hours advanced notice. Sunday and holiday work

may be regularly scheduled.

(e) In connection with the overtime hours provisions of subparagraphs

(a), (b) and (c) of this paragraph, all overtime hours worked will be paid

for and no employees shall be required to take time off to offset overtime

hours worked. The following hours of labor shall be deemed to be

overtime hours:

(1) All hours worked over thirty-six (36) hours in a three day work week.

(2) All hours worked over forty (40) hours in a four-day workweek. Sick

leave, vacation, and holiday hours will not be considered as hours

worked for overtime purposes.

(3) All hours worked outside regular schedule in any one (1) work day.

(4) All hours worked on the employee’s rest days.

For the purpose of training and other special needs, employees

may occasionally be rescheduled to work five (5) consecutive days of

Nuclear 8

eight (8) consecutive hours (exclusive of meal time) per week between

the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

It is understood that twelve hour shift schedules were negotiated to

provide the employees that elected to work them with a minimum of

eighty and one half (80 1/2) equivalent straight time hours in any two

week pay period . The anticipated schedule was thirty-six (36) hours in

the first week and forty-three (43) hours in the second week. This

schedule would provide eighty and one half (80 1/2) equivalent straight

time hours.

This schedule, however, will cause unanticipated administrative

problems when an employee is required to miss some time on the second

week due to such things as holidays, jury duty, employee illness, etc. In

order to avoid these administrative problems the company will agree to

schedule at least forty-four (44) hours on the second week, and are on

overtime, may be released after seven (7) hours if not needed. It is

expected that the Production Leader will adjust the schedule each pay

period to balance the overtime on his/her shift.

Meals:

If an employee has not previously earned a meal, a meal will be earned

after twelve and one-half (12 1/2) consecutive hours following their

starting time (holdover of one half (1/2) and additional meals at five (5)

hour intervals thereafter if the employee continues to work. All other

meals will be in accordance with paragraph 41 of the Memorandum of

agreement.

Thrift Plan:

Regarding the impact of 12-hour shifts on the Thrift Plan contribution,

the Company’s intent is to consider 80 hours worked per pay period as

eligible for Thrift Company contributions. For the first week of the pay

period, the 36 hours worked are eligible for Th rift Company

contributions. For the second week of the same period, 44 hours of the

48 hours worked are eligible for Thrift Company contributions.

In order to accommodate employees, who work a 12-hour shift, it is

incumbent upon those employees to record the hours worked correctly on

the time report to capture the full 80 hours as "Thriftable" income.

Nuclear 9

35.1 WORK ON SECOND REST DAY

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company

to work an employee on both of the employee’s rest days.

(b) When an employee is required to work on any two (2) consecutive

rest days, all hours worked on the second rest day and any rest day

thereafter shall be paid for at double the straight-time hourly rate until

such time that the employee has either observed a rest day off or works

back into the employee’s normal schedule.

37. ROTATING AND TRADING SHIFTS

Where the nature of the service requires scheduled shifts, such shifts

shall be arranged so that each shift shall be rotated among all employees

as regularly and evenly as is reasonably possible. Employees will, upon

request, be permitted to trade shifts temporarily from time to time, if they

so desire, provided that such temporary inter change does not lead to the

payment of overtime.

38. CALL-OUTS-PREARRANGED OVERTIME

(a) When an employee is required to report for work at a time other than

the employee’s regular work schedule, it shall be considered:

      (1)a call-out if the employee has less than twelve (12) hours’ notice, or

      (2) prearranged overtime if the employee has twelve (12) hours’ or

      more notice.

(b) On a call-out, the employee shall be allowed actual time required for

traveling from the employee’s home to the job and return, plus a

minimum of three (3) hours as time actually worked, except that if the

employee is called out before the employee’s regular starting time and

works through the employee’s regular work period, then only time

actually worked shall be allowed.

(c)In the case of prearranged overtime, the employee shall receive a

minimum of four (4) hours as hours worked (except in the case of

meetings, two (2) hours), except if the employee is required to report

before the employee’s regular starting time and works through the

employee’s regular work period or is required to continue after the

employee’s regular quitting time, then only time actually worked or spent

in meetings shall be allowed. If an employee who has been

Nuclear 10

prearranged to work overtime other than holdover overtime is given less

than seven (7) hours’ notice prior to the starting time of the overtime that

the employee is not to report, the employee will receive two (2) hours’

pay at one and one-half (1-1/2) times the employee’s straight-time hourly

rate. If an employee who has no telephone is notified of a cancellation

less than seven (7) hours prior to the starting time of the overtime, the

employee will receive one (1) hour’s pay at one and one-half (1-1/2)

times the employee’s straight-time hourly rate. For purposes of this

subparagraph, if an employee has a pending application for a phone, or

if the employee has listed with the company a phone number where the

employee may be contacted, the employee shall be considered as if the

employee has a telephone.

(d) On call-outs and prearranged overtime an employee designated to

temporarily relieve or substitute in a higher classification shall be paid at

the r ate of such higher classification for the time that the employee is

actually relieving or substituting in such higher classification.

(e) Any employee called out before the employee has had eight (8)

consecutive hours off duty since the end of the employee’s last scheduled

work period will be paid at the overtime rate for all hours worked

thereafter until the employee has had eight (8) consecutive hours off

duty. Any employee called out nine and one-half (9-1/2) hours or more

before the employee’s next regular scheduled starting time after the

employee has been scheduled off a day or more will continue to be paid

at the overtime rate until the employee has had eight (8) consecutive

hours off duty. However, in either instance the Company will give eight

(8) hours off duty at its discretion at the completion of the work and if

the eight (8) hours off duty falls within or overlaps into the employee’s

next regular scheduled work period, the employee will be paid for all

such hours off duty within the employee’s regular scheduled work period

at the straight-time rate. Any employee continuing to work beyond the

employee’s regular scheduled work period will be paid at the overtime

rate for all hours worked thereafter until the employee has had eight (8)

consecutive hours off duty. Upon completion of the work, the employee

shall have eight (8) consecutive hours off duty and if such eight (8) hours

off duty falls within or overlaps into the employee’s next regular

scheduled work period, the employee will be paid for all such hours off

duty within the employee’s regular scheduled work period at the straight-

time rate.

(5) The Company will pay lodging expenses.

(6) The Company will pay a fixed per diem allowance, which includes all

subsistence (meals, phone, laundry, etc.). The allowance will be thirty

dollars ($30) a day.

(7) The Company will have the right to change a person’s schedule with

less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to obtain optimum benefit from

training. This would be done only as necessary.

44. DISTRIBUTION OF OVERTIME

(a) Overtime will be distributed equally by classification in each regular

working headquarters to the best ability of the Supervisor in charge,

using the biweekly posted overtime list as a guide for such distribution.

Overtime records at each regular headquarters shall be reviewed every

four (4) weeks by the Supervisor and the Job Steward to determine

whether all overtime assignments during the period were made in

accordance with the terms of the Agreement. If the Supervisor and the

Steward agree that all overtime assignments in the period were made in

accordance with the terms of the Agreement, they shall sign the overtime

record as being correct. A matter concerning an overtime assignment

may become a grievance only after the review and providing it is reduced

to writing and taken up with the Supervisor within four (4) weeks after

such review.

If at any time it is determined that an overtime assignment was not made

in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the remedy shall be

makeup overtime work which would not ordinarily be performed on

overtime, to take place within thirty (30) days of such determination.

Failure to provide such work after such determination shall subject the

Company to payment.

The Company will have no obligation to provide makeup overtime work

to any employee as a result of the call-out, with less than one (1) hour’s

notice, or holdover of another employee. The Company shall have no

obligation to provide makeup overtime work as a result of an assignment

Nuclear 15

to an employee who was not the low overtime available employee in the

employee’s classification, if at the end of the review period the employee

claiming the overtime is the high employee in the classification or is

within ten (10) hours or ten (10) percent (whichever is higher) of the high

overtime employee in the classification.

For the purpose of distribution of overtime the Machinist and Mechanic

classifications shall be considered as one. At a location where Special

Maintenance classifications are employed the Special Maintenance

classification and its corresponding regular classification will be

considered as one (1) classification.

All Special Crews employees in the Nuclear Division may be called out

if the call out occurs within two (2) hours of their regular starting time .

This agreement will not effect the current manner in which employees

are required to work overtime.

(b) In compiling the biweekly-posted overtime list, the following

conditions will be adhered to:

(1) Overtime list will be made up of only employees who wish to be on

it. Employees who are not on the list will be considered to have one

hour more overtime than the high overtime employee does in each

classification. All overtime hours worked by the employee in the

employee’s own classification, or while relieving or working in

another classification, or while working at another location, will be

included in totals shown on the above posted list. Employees who

submit a memo to supervision expressing a desire to relieve on

overtime in classifications they are qualified to work, will be

considered by seniority for relieving on overtime in these

classifications, whether they are on the overtime list or not.

Employees may elect off the overtime list at the end of a pay period.

An employee who makes such election will be dropped from the

overtime list for the next six (6) pay periods.

(2) When an employee changes the employee’s regular headquarters or

enters a new classification, and wishes to be on the overtime list, the

employee will be placed on the overtime list at the average overtime

of the classification. Employees who have elected not to be on the

overtime list and wish to be may notify supervision, by memo. These

employees will be placed at one hour above the employee with the

Nuclear 16

greatest number of overtime hours on the overtime list in their

classification according to the time limits specified in the foregoing

Subsection (b)(1). When an employee relieves outside of the

bargaining unit, and returns, the employee will be placed at one hour

above the employee with the greatest number of overtime hours on

the overtime list in their classification.

(3) If an employee refuses overtime which the Company gets someone

else to perform, the overtime will be charged against the employee

who refused. For call-out overtime, the employee shall be charged if

they do not have a telephone. If the employee’s phone is answered

and such employee fails to work the overtime assignment, they shall

be charged the overtime hours. If however, the employee responds

within one (1) hour expressing a desire to work, they will not be

charged if the assignment has been filled. The Company agrees that

in the event all the personnel in a classification at the headquarters

are requested to work overtime, those employees in that

classification refusing will be charged for the overtime worked

unless they are sick or on excused absence. Overtime will not be

charged against apprentices who turn down overtime to attend

apprentice training classes.

(4) If an employee is sick, or on vacation, or on excused absence, and is

offered overtime but refuses it, the employee will not be charged for

the overtime refused. This is not to be interpreted as meaning that

employee is not subject to call-back while on vacation, as provided

in subparagraph 8(b) of this Agreement. For distribution of overtime

purposes an employee shall be considered on vacation from the time

the employee finishes work on the employee’s last scheduled regular

work day shift before going on vacation until the employee’s

scheduled starting time on the employee’s first scheduled workday

after the employee’s vacation.

(5) At the end of the payroll period ending nearest January 1 of each

year, the overtime list for each classification at each location will be

returned to zero.

(6) Junior employees will not be forced to work an overtime assignment

for more than two (2) consecutive days. The only exception would be

if there were no other employees available in that classification and

location or everyone is assigned to work overtime.

Nuclear 17

(7) The provisions of this Paragraph should not be interpreted to restrict

the Company’s right to require employees to work overtime.

(8) If this method results in an obviously inequitable distribution of

overtime, then the Director of Labor Relations and the Business

Manager will work out a method of correcting such inequity.

The Company and Union have reviewed the letter from Darrell G.

Eisenhutt (dated 7-31-80) IE Circular 80-02, regarding interim criteria

for shift staffing and the hours license operators may work.

It is agreed, assignments made to the implementation of this criteria

will be made in accordance with paragraph 44 (Distribution of

Overtime) of the Memorandum of Agreement.

Overtime Shift Splitting for Nuclear Operators

The Company and the Union agree to the following provisions regarding

operators overtime in the Nuclear Division:

    • Overtime will be offered in four (4) hour blocks.

    • An employee, working the first four (4) hours of overtime after the

    employee’s scheduled shift, shall be offered the second four (4) hours of

    overtime prior to forcing another employee to work the second four (4)

    hours of overtime. It is more desirable for an employee to voluntarily

    work sixteen (16) hours then force another employee to work.

    • Employees will only be asked to work four (4) hours of overtime before

    or after their normally scheduled shift .

    • All hours worked must be consecutive.

    • Employees will only be asked to work a maximum of twelve (12)

    consecutive hours per rest day, plus travel time, for call-outs.

    • Exclusive of travel time, all hours worked, over a maximum of twelve

    (12) consecutive hours shall be paid at the double time rate.

Nuclear 18

    • Except for rest days, employees cannot be asked or charged for hour s

    not concurrent with their normally scheduled shift.

    • Employees must have a minimum of eight (8) hours rest time between

    shifts.

    • An employee may work sixteen (16) hours in a twenty four (24) hour

    period provided they have eight (8) consecutive hours off duty.

    Example: An employee who works the last scheduled midnight shift and

    is off for eight (8) hours on day shift, can also work a peak shift.

    • Except in the case of an emergency, the overtime list will not be run

    between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.

If this agreement results in any inequities, the Business Manager of the

Union and the Director of Employee Relations will be notified to correct

those inequities.

HOLIDAY WORK BY NUCLEAR OPERATORS AND

RADIATION PROTECTION TECHNOLOGISTS

1.All qualified operators who are currently assigned to a rotating shift,

and RPT’s whose normal schedule falls on a holiday may be required to

work that holiday on their assigned shift. If the company desires to

reduce to a minimum shift complement on a shift by shift basis, those

employees will be offered the opportunity to work or observe the holiday

by seniority. Rolling by seniority from one shift to another will not be

permitted. Special Crew and Regular RPT’s will be considered as one

classification for the purposes of this paragraph.

2. Operation personnel (excluding RPT’s) working Monday through

Friday with weekends off (i.e. support/relief, re-qualifications, etc.) will

observe the company holiday.

3.Shift vacancies that occur on a day the Company observes as a holiday

will be offered and filled in the following manner:

      • Prearranged: The shift vacancy will be offered by seniority to the

      qualified employees who are observing their holiday on the day of

      the vacancy on a one shift per employee basis. In the event a vacancy

      still exists, it will be filled using the overtime list.

Nuclear 19

      • Callout: The shift vacancy will be offered by seniority to personnel

      first from the shift reduced to minimum complement and who were

      required to observe the holiday, then using the overtime list.

48. APPRENTICES IN ALL DEPARTMENTS

See General for paragraph 48 conditions "(a)"through "(e)"

(f)In the Electrician classification in all departments, the Mechanic and

Instrument Mechanic classifications in the Production Department, and all

corresponding Itinerant classifications, the ratio of apprentices to craft worker

at any one (1) location shall not exceed: One (1) apprentice to one (1) craft

worker; one (1) apprentice to two (2) craft workers; two (2) apprentices to

three (3) craft workers; two (2) apprentices to four (4) craft workers; three (3)

apprentices to five (5) craft workers; three (3) apprentices to six (6) craft

workers; and above six (6) craft workers, the ratio will be one (1) to two (2).

For the purpose of this clause, Chief Electricians, Machinists, General

Maintenance Leader, and Crew Leader shall be considered craft workers.

(g) Ratios as set out in (f) shall be determined on the basis of the number of

apprentices and corresponding craft workers on the pay roll at a working

headquarters. The temporary absence of craft workers from a headquarters

shall not be considered as affecting the ratio in that headquarters or crew.

When an apprentice automatically promotes to craft worker, no contractual

ratio will be affected by this promotion. However, the Company will correct

the condition and restore proper ratio at its first opportunity.

(h) In all departments when an apprentice has been in the apprentice

classification for more than two (2) years and is not competent to become

a craft worker, the employee shall not be counted in the apprentice ratio.

(i) When an employee has served four (4) full years in the apprentice

classification, the employee shall automatically be promoted to a craft

worker classification at the employee’s location, provided that the

employee is fully qualified. Job Posting Procedure will not apply in the

automatic promotion of apprentices.

(j) Based upon qualifications, an apprentice may perform work alone,

outside of sight and sound of a craft worker. It is understood that the intent

and application of this provision will apply in the following manner:

      (1) The present method of assigning craft workers and apprentices

      will not be altered.

Nuclear 20

      (2) When an apprentice is assigned to a craft worker and the craft

      worker feels the apprentice is qualified to work alone on a segment

      of the job assignment, the craft worker may assign the task to the

      apprentice.

(k) When an apprentice promotes to craft worker the employee’s starting

pay bracket will be determined by the amount of time spent in the

apprentice classification.

• less than one year bottom of bracket

• more than one year less than two full years 1st bracket

• more than two years less than three full years 2nd bracket

• more than three years less than four full years 3rd bracket

• four full years top of bracket

(l) The Company will not require an apprentice to work on, climb

through or work above energized conductors carrying more than five

hundred (500) volts during the employee’s first year of apprenticeship.

After completing the employee’s first year, the determination of whether

the apprentice is qualified to work on conductors carrying more than five

hundred (500) volts will be made by the apprentice, the Maintenance

Leader or equivalent, supervising the apprentice, and the craft worker

with whom the employee works. Should any question arise as to whether

or not the employee is qualified to perform the duties assigned to the

employee, which cannot be resolved locally it shall be brought to the

attention of the Supervisor of apprentice training and report the

supervisor’s findings to the Joint Apprenticeship Committee for

determination as to whether the apprentice is qualified to perform the

work in question. Even if the apprentice has more than the first year as

an apprentice, the above determination must be made. In arriving at the

first year of apprenticeship, the time in classification plus credit allowed

for related experience is to be used.

48.1 PLANT ITINERANT

(b) There may be established, in addition to Itinerant Mechanics,

Itinerant Electricians and Itinerant Instrument Mechanics, the

classification of Itinerant Instrument and Control Specialists, and

Itinerant Machinists, in the Production Department. The ratio of

employees in the above Itinerant classifications to the total of Company

employees in the corresponding regular classifications shall not exceed

Nuclear 21

one (1) to one (1). The Machinist and Mechanic classifications shall be

considered as one classification. Itinerant Machinists, Itinerant

Mechanics, Itinerant Electricians and Itinerant Instrument and Control

Specialists will be assigned headquarters in a specific Class "AA" Plant

and will perform work as Machinists, Mechanics, Electricians, or

Instrument and Control Specialists in various plants throughout the

system when and as assigned.

There may be established the classification of Itinerant Apprentice

Mechanics, Itinerant Apprentice Electricians and Itinerant Apprentice

Instrument Mechanics in the Production Department. The ratio of

Itinerant Apprentices to their corresponding Itinerant craft worker shall

be as provided for in Paragraph 48.

For the purpose of plant overhauls or emergencies, the Company will first

use the complement of available qualified employees at that particular plant.

If an adequate number is not available, then Itinerant Maintenance

employees will be used in cases where time will allow for their travel. The

Company, to supplement these employees, will determine what employees

are available from nearby plants on a voluntary basis to help in this work.

Those employees who do not volunteer will not be charged with the

overtime performed. Should there still be a deficiency in the number of

employees needed, then the Company may assign any qualified employees

at any location to work on the overhaul or emergency. Such assignments

will be made on a seniority basis.

(d) All Show-up/Itinerant personnel may be assigned to locations outside

the areas specified in (b) above, in which case, they will receive expenses

in accordance with Paragraph 41.

(e) Itinerant classifications will, for the purpose of overtime distribution, be

considered in the corresponding regular classification. If this method results

in an obviously inequitable distribution of overtime, then the Director of

Labor Relations of the Company and the Business Manager of the Union

will work out a method for the purpose of correcting such inequity.

50. CLASSIFICATION-RELIEVING OR SUBSTITUTING IN

ANOTHER

(a) Any employee designated to substitute, relieve or work temporarily in

a higher classification shall receive an additional 5% (five percent) added

Nuclear 22

to his / her regular rate of pay or the minimal of the bracket, which ever

is higher, but not to exceed the maximum rate, for all hours actually

worked or a minimum of four (4) hours, provided the employee works in

such higher classification for one (1) hour or more at any given time

(except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 38). The employee shall

work the scheduled hours, perform the assigned duties and after twenty-

four (24) hours’ notice of change of schedule, be subject to the schedules

of work of such higher classification in which the employee is relieving,

substituting or temporarily working.

Utility Workers with journeyman qualifications as of the date of

ratification will receive relieving pay based upon the relieving process in

place prior to the 2000-2004 MOA.

Every effort will be made by the Company, where practicable, to fill jobs

under this paragraph according to qualifications and seniority in the

particular Work Headquarters. Biweekly lists of temporary relieving time

will be posted on bulletin boards.

(b) When an employee is designated to relieve or substitute for another

employee or to work temporarily in a lower classification, the employee

shall receive the rate of pay of the employee’s own classification and

shall work the scheduled hours, perform the assigned duties, and after

twenty-four (24) hours’ notice of change of schedule, be subject to the

schedules of work of the lower classification in which the employee is

relieving, substituting or temporarily working.

(c) Employees may relieve in an equivalent classification if they have no

objections or for the purpose of obtaining experience. However it is not

required that an employee relieve sideways without his or her consent.

The Company agrees to pay temporary relieving machinist pay to anyone

performing machine work for one (1) hour or more. Machine work is

defined as work using stationary or portable machining equipment that

requires precision measuring instruments to complete the work.

(c)(1) With the exception of plant outages any individual employee

relieving outside the bargaining unit will be limited to a total of three (3)

months in any one (1) calendar year (unless mutually agreed to by the

Company and Union).

Nuclear 23

(c)(2) Bargaining Unit personnel may temporary relieve into non

bargaining positions for a period not to exceed (1) one month ((2) two

months for Maintenance Planners) prior to the beginning of outages,

during the outage and not to exceed one month after outages. Periods of

time exceeding this may be agreed to by the Plant Manager and the

President of the Local Union.

(d) When a temporary clerical assignment occurs, the Company will first

canvas the employees at that work location for those who may be

qualified and would benefit by temporary relieving. If no qualified

employees can be identified, the Company may then use temporary

clerical help under the following conditions:

1. The temporary clerical assignment shall last for a minimum of 20

workdays (any assignment of less than 20 days will be considered to

be 20 days).

2. For work which requires temporary clerical support over and above

the normal clerical compliment, each power plant and each division

may utilize temporary clerical personnel up to 120 work days in any

given twelve month period. Once the use of temporary clerical

personnel has reached 120 days (the time need not be consecutive)

within a twelve-month period temporary clerical job will be

discontinued, or an appropriate bargaining unit job will be posted.

Any use of temporary clerical personnel will be cumulative for

purposes of determining the 120-day period. As an example, two

temporary clerks could work for 60 days in any given twelve month

period or four temporary clerks could work 30 days in any given

twelve month period.

3. Temporary clerical personnel may be used to fill temporary

vacancies within existing bargaining unit clerical classifications.

Temporary vacancies will be determined when a bargaining unit

employee is unable to fulfill his/her job responsibilities due to

maternity leave, extended illness or injury, posted job vacancies and

vacations. The 120 workday period shall also apply to temporary

vacancies at each location. This time limit may be extended by

mutual consent of the Business Manager and Director of Industrial

Relations.

Nuclear 22

4. When a temporary clerical assignment occurs at a work location, the

appropriate Local Union President will be notified of the starting

and stopping date of such assignment.

5. This will not change the manner in which injured employees may be

assigned under paragraph 7(c) of the Memorandum of Agreement.
