Common use of Overtime Discussion Clause in Contracts

Overtime Discussion. In the negotiations leading to the CAW Security Agreement the parties signed today, the parties discussed the matter of excessive overtime schedules which may be worked on occasion by some employees covered by this Agreement. In the discussions of this matter, both parties recognized that the Company’s need for overtime among plant protection personnel varies from one plant or location to another and fluctuates in response to changing operating conditions including emergency situations. In addition, since, the need for overtime at many plants and locations is related to the schedules of various manufacturing operations, the parties cannot reasonably anticipate at this time how and to what extent overtime work for plant protection employees will be affected by the Company agreement regarding overtime applicable to its production and maintenance employees. Nevertheless, the Company hereby assures the Union that if the Union claims that excessive overtime work in a particular situation is creating an undue hardship on a particular group of employees, upon request of the Union to Staff Labour Relations, the Company will meet with the Union, and where undue hardships exist, it will consider means for providing the relief the situation may require.
