Day Tour. The Union and Company recognize that in certain work groups it may be beneficial to the employees and in the best interest of the business to establish a four-day schedule as a normal tour. Accordingly, in a work group where local management and the local union agree, the number of hours which presently constitute a normal five day tour will be scheduled in equal amounts over four days. The work groups selected for such four-day tours will be solely at the discretion of the Company. The local management and the local union will discuss the process by which the number of employees who volunteer will be assigned their shifts and tours. It is further agreed that if the needs of the business require the Company to discontinue the four-day tour, the Company will notify the Union in advance.
