Common use of Contract Labour Clause in Contracts

Contract Labour. The use by the Company of temporary contract workers supplied by any agency engaged in the business of supplying temporary contract help shall be limited to requirements created by temporary overload situations, or other requirements of a short-term nature. The Plant Chairperson shall be notified in writing of the use of such workers and the reasons therefore at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance prior to the date each individual contract worker commences work unless the Plant Chair agrees in writing to a shorter notification period. Permission from the Plant Chair shall not be unreasonably withheld if the reason for a lesser period of notice is due to a situation that will give the Company legal grounds to declare force majeure, AOG aircraft, or unforeseen non-routine critical path tasks that will cause the contracted schedule not to be met. The period of employment of any such workers shall be limited to fourteen hundred & forty (1440) cumulative hours of work for each contract worker in a twelve (12) month period. If the contract worker has Controlled Goods clearance, the period of employment may be extended to a maximum of eighteen hundred (1800) cumulative hours worked in a twelve (12) month period, measured from their first hour worked in the plant except with the written permission of the Plant Chair. The Union’s permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. The use of contract workers will not be exercised in such a way as to cause a delay in hiring regular employees or cause the lay-off, delay the recall or the loss of regular earnings or opportunities such as shift preference of those directly affected in the bargaining unit. The use of contract labour will not be used to cause the loss of overtime earnings for job classification unlicensed and above. Where there are employees on lay-off, those laid off employees shall first be offered the opportunity of performing such work, provided they have the ability required and are available when needed.

Unless permitted in writing by the Plant Chair, the total number of active contract workers at the time that a grievance is raised shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of active bargaining unit members on the last monthly report given to the Plant Chair in accordance with Article 2.13 including those bargaining unit members recalled since the report was published. If permission for additional contract workers has not been granted and if it can be shown that the Company is exceeding this number of contract workers, the Company will immediately remove a sufficient number of individual contract workers with the least amount of hours worked from the worksite to ensure that it is again in compliance with the ten percent (10%) threshold. There will be a monthly Union Management meeting to discuss the status of contract labourers, current Union staff and the status of the Company hiring plan.
