LETTER OF AGREEMENT

January 16, 2008Mr. Don CarynInternational Representative, UAW

Dear Mr. Caryn:

During negotiations for the renewal of the Collective Agree-ment expiring November 25, 2007 the parties discussedthe possibility that the Company may, in future, operate asecond facility in Ontario (or subcontract to another facility)to perform Moulding, Coating and Secondary work similarto the type of work being performed in the Petrolia plant.

This letter shall be your assurance that no Petrolia bargain-ing unit team member who is actively employed at the timewhen such a new (second) facility is opened, will be laidoff as a result of the transfer of any work that is being per-formed in Petrolia to any such new facility. At the timewhen the new facility is opened, the Company will supplythe Union with a complete list of bargaining unit team mem-bers who are actively employed at that time. It is under-stood that a Petrolia team member who returns to activeemployment following a disability leave of any type (WSIB,WI, LTD) may reclaim his or her former position (senioritypermitting) and that this action may result in the layoff of amore junior team member.

It is understood that this assurance is not meant to protectteam members from layoffs resulting from other causessuch as the loss of a particular program for a customer, thesourcing of new work elsewhere or other similar instanceswhich do not involve the transfer of work from the Petroliaplant to the secondary Ontario facility.

Once a secondary facility has been opened, and if such fa-cility is operated by the Company or a subcontractor, laid-off Petrolia team members will be offered employment at

75

Page 76: COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT Between WATERVILLE TG INC. (PETROLIA … · Waterville TG Inc., in Petrolia, Ontario, save and ex-cept supervisors, persons above the rank of super-visor, office,

(ii) Any such team member who applies musthave a satisfactory attendance and workrecord.

As agreed, this letter forms part of the Collective Agree-ment.

FOR THE UNION FOR THE COMPANY

Re: Probationary Employees

This is to record our agreement with respect to the imple-mentation of the reduction in the probationary period from720 hours to 520 hours. This agreement was reached inbargaining for the renewal of the Collective Agreement ex-piring on November 25, 2014.

As we have estimated that a large number of probation-ary employees will immediately attain seniority statusupon ratification the Company will need some time toenroll these new seniority employees into the benefitprogram described in Article 29.6. Accordingly, benefitcoverage will become effective for these new seniorityemployees during the month following the month of rat-ification, but in no case less than 30 days following thedate or ratification.

4. In the event that the employee wishes to make his ben-efit coverage retroactive to the first business day afterhe attained seniority, the employee must agree to payhis share of the premiums necessary to provide suchcoverage.
