The 24/7 continuous shift will also be extended to include Stockroom (Labourers Packing Rack and Fork Lift Drivers) in support of the Tubing area. Cell operators will perform packaging requirements in the cell including strapping, greasing and capping to ensure bundles are prepared for shipping. When the Company finds it necessary to lay off in the Stockroom seniority group, packaging requirements in the cell will revert back to the responsibility of the Stockroom group. However, this will not prevent the Company from implementing lay-offs within the Stockroom group if business demands dictate the requirement. When this schedule is implemented then the provisions in Part Two (2) of this agreement will take precedence and override similar provisions in Part One (1) of the agreement.
