LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING 2

Re: TEN HOUR SHIFTS:

1. This Letter of Understanding applies to P&D Truck Drivers.

2. This Letter of Understanding shall remain in force for the duration of the main Collective Agreement between the parties. The Company may terminate, with thirty (30) days’ notice, ten (10) hour shifts if they are found to adversely affect production. Working conditions will then be as per provision of the main Collective Agreement.

3. For the life of this Letter of Understanding, the following amendments will be made to the Collective Agreement in existence, insofar as it applies to employees covered by this Letter of Understanding:

   • The normal workweek will be composed of forty (40) hours, Monday to Friday inclusive, and the normal shift will be ten (10) hours. It is agreed that 7:00 a.m. is considered as the usual starting time, but that this starting time, when necessary, can vary between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. which must be mutually agreed upon between the Company and the employee concerned.

   • Hours worked in excess of ten (10) but less than twelve (12) in any one (1) day, shall be paid one and one-half (1.5) times the hourly rate. Over twelve (12) hours, two times (2X) the hourly rate shall be paid. On an employee’s first (1st) day off, he shall be paid one and onehalf (1.5) times the hourly rate for hours worked up to five (5) and double time (2X) for hours worked thereafter. On an employee’s second and subsequent day-off, he shall be paid at the rate of double time (2X) for all hours worked.

   • Statutory Holiday pay will be computed on the basis of ten (10) hours at the employee’s regular hourly rate. If a Statutory Holiday falls on a non-working day, the day-off will take place the day before or after at the Company’s discretion.
