It is agreed that:

Nanaimo Foundry Shop and Nanaimo Foundry Field are two separate operations and there will be no crossover privileges between operations.

Whenever possible employees laid off from either operation will be used when practicable before any outside hiring, providing that it does not interfere with the smooth performance of either operation and is not in conflict with the collective agreement.

Employees from Nanaimo Foundry Shop who are hired by Nanaimo Foundry Field Division for Outside Field Work shall receive the going field rate for the time spent on that job.

Shop work will take precedence over field work when shop seniority employees have been hired for Outside Field Work. When shop work load warrants rehire, shop seniority employees must be recalled first.

This Letter of Understanding does not include shop employees who are sent for outside work under Article 11: Transportation (A) and (B).

Field employees will not be permitted to use shop facilities.
