UNION SECURITY
1. All present employees who are members of the Union on the effective

condition of employment. All present employees who are not members of the Union
and all employees who are hired hereafter shall become and remain members in
good standing of the Union as a condition of employment on and after the 31st
day following the date the employees become subject to the terms of this
Agreement. The Employer shall not be required to discharge any employee for
noncompliance with the foregoing until he receives a written request from the
Union specifying the reason for such request, and the Union agrees to indemnify
the Employer and hold the Employer harmless from any liability or claims by
reason of compliance with the request of the Union.
2. This Article shall not be applicable in the State of Kansas unless and
until there has been a change in existing law making it valid in Kansas.
3. The Employer agrees to deduct from the wages due any employee, the
regular dues and/or initiation fees that are uniformly assessed by the Union
providing the Union shall furnish the Employer properly signed authorization
cards for such deductions for each employee, in accordance with such and so long
as the authorization remains in force. Such deductions will be made from wages
due for the last pay period of such calendar month and will be promptly remitted
to the duly designated office of the Union in such manner as the Union may
request in writing.
ARTICLE III
RECOGNITION
1. The Employer hereby recognizes the Union as the sole collective
bargaining agency for all of its employees engaged in the Employer's work
traditionally assigned to and under the jurisdiction of the Union, excluding,
however, all other employees of the Employer. The jurisdiction of this
Agreement shall extend to and include employees of the Employer employed in the
Counties of Jackson, Clay, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇, Lafayette, Johnson, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ and
Cass in Missouri, and Wyandotte, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Leavenworth and Miami in Kansas.

TIME OF EMPLOYMENT
1. As used herein the term "local area" will be defined as that area
encompassing Jackson, Platte, Cass and Clay Counties in Missouri, and Wyandotte,
Leavenworth, Miami and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Counties in Kansas. "Local driver" as used
herein will mean those drivers operating within the local area. "Out-of-town
drivers" as used herein will be defined as those drivers operating from points
within the local area to points outside the local area or from points outside
the local area.
2. For all employees, eight (8) hours will constitute a normal day's work
and five (5) consecutive days' work shall constitute a normal week's work
(Monday through Friday), time and one-half the regular hourly rate to be paid to
all employees for all work performed in excess of forty (40) hours in any one
week.
3. All regular employees will receive a forty (40) hour pay per week
guaranteed, except that this is not intended to limit the right of the Employer
to layoff regular employees if such layoffs are made at the end of a normal work
week, and in case of lack of work, the Employer may, at its election, reduce
such guaranteed work week to not less than 32 hours per week for not more than
12 weeks in any one year, regardless of whether those 12 weeks are consecutive
or not. Thereafter, the Employer shall layoff employees in accordance with the
seniority provisions of Article VIII to restore the guaranteed forty (40) hour
week to those employees not laid off.
4. A regular employee's starting time shall commence at 7:00 a.m., 7:30
a.m., or 8:00 a.m., and shall not be later than 8:00 a.m. However, the starting
time for an out-of-town driver shall, by mutual agreement of the employee and
the Employer, commence as early as 6:00 a.m. All work performed on Saturday up
to 5:00 p.m. shall be compensated for at the rate of time and one-half. All
time worked from 5:00 p.m. Saturday to 7:00 a.m. Monday (or 6:00 a.m. Monday for
out-of-town drivers agreeing to such starting time) shall be paid for at the
rate of double time.
5. Lunch time shall not exceed thirty minutes unless mutually agreed to by
the Employer and the employee involved.
6. The Employer shall reimburse out-of-town drivers required to leave the
local area for all necessary and reasonable expenses incurred by him until he
returns provided he submits receipts therefor. Necessary and reasonable
expenses for out-of-town drivers shall not include the noon meal unless the
driver is required to be out-of-town overnight.
ARTICLE V
HOLIDAYS
1. The following shall be considered legal holidays: New Year's Eve, New
Year's Day, Good Friday, Decoration Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving
Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and the last regular work-day
prior to Christmas day or days observed as such by the Employer.
2. All regular employees subject to the terms of this Agreement shall be
credited with eight (8) hours regular straight-time pay for such holiday not
worked, but such hours shall be considered as hours worked and added to the
accumulated hours of that week. To qualify for such holiday pay, the employee
must work the last regularly scheduled working day before the holiday and the
first regularly scheduled working day following the holiday unless the employee
requests, fifteen (15) days in advance, permission to be absent on the last
regularly scheduled working day before or the first regularly scheduled working
day following the holiday and it is mutually agreed to by the Employer.
3. If a holiday falls on Sunday, it will be observed on Monday. All work
done on the foregoing holidays or days observed as such shall be paid for at the
rate of double the regular straight time rate of pay in lieu of holiday pay.

ARTICLE VIII
SENIORITY
1. Seniority shall prevail at all times based upon length of service and
qualifications. An employee's seniority shall date back to the first date of
his hire by the Employer as a truck driver.
2. In all cases of layoffs, promotions, and demotions, the Employer shall
consider the following factors: (a) seniority; (b) ability to perform the
work; and (c) physical fitness for work. If qualifications are relatively
equal, seniority shall govern.
3. An employee shall lose his seniority if he (1) quits; (2) is

absence without reasonable excuse or prior permission of the Employer; (4) is
laid off for lack of work or illness for twelve (12) months or more; (5) is
absent from work without permission or reasonable excuse, in which case he shall
be deemed to have quit. Such employees shall lose all seniority rights.
4. An employee laid off shall be given notice of recall mailed to him at
last known address by registered mail. The employee must respond to such notice
within three (3) working days and must report to work within seven (7) working
days unless otherwise mutually agreed to. In the event the employee fails to
comply with the above, he shall lose all seniority.
5. All new vacancies and new routes shall be filled by bid based on
seniority, qualifications and physical ability.
ARTICLE IX

rate of pay in effect when the vacation is taken.
2. Vacations shall be set having due regard to seniority and the desires
of employees and the needs of the business. Normally, an employee covered by
this Agreement shall be entitled to take his vacation immediately following the

that not more than one employee shall be permitted to take his vacation at any
one time. Individual exceptions may be made at the request of either the
employee or the Employer by mutual agreement.

with the Employer shall receive a vacation with pay of one (1) week on the basis

ARTICLE XII
RETIREMENT
1. All active bargaining unit employees are eligible to participate in the
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Products Ltd. Profit Sharing and Savings Retirement (401K) Plan. Such
participation shall be in accordance with the terms of that Plan.
2. Because of the eligibility of employees to participate in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Products Ltd. Profit Sharing and Savings and Retirement (401K) Plan, they will
no longer accrue any pension benefits beginning June 15, 1992 under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Products Ltd. Hourly Pension Plan ("Hourly Pension Plan). The discontinuance of
benefit accruals under the Hourly Pension Plan will not affect benefits earned
under that Plan up to and including June 14, 1992. Where an employee is not
vested under the Hourly Pension Plan, his continued service with the company
will be counted toward satisfying such vesting requirement. The plan provides
100% vesting after five (5) years of continuous service.
3. The parties agree that the Company may seek to fully terminate the
Hourly Pension Plan for organization unit employees. Any such termination shall
be in accordance with applicable federal law and, if permissible, employees will
be allowed to roll Hourly Pension Plan payouts into their ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Products Ltd.
Profit Sharing and Savings Retirement Plan. In the event the employees are
allowed to roll over their plan payouts, the employer will not provide matching
funds for the employees' rolled over contributions to the Profit Sharing and
Savings Retirement Plan.
ARTICLE XIII

3. Duly authorized representatives of the Union may visit the premises of
the Employer during reasonable hours for the purpose of handling employee
grievances, provided they shall have first reported to the office of the
Employer . Such visits shall not disturb normal operations of the Employer. If

4. The Employer agrees not to enter into any agreement or contract with
his employees, individually or collectively, which in any way conflicts with the
terms and provisions of this Agreement.
5. The Employer may discharge any employee for just cause. Negligent
work, failure to report an accident, dishonesty, drunkenness, or drinking while
on the job shall constitute just cause for discharge. However, just causes for
discharge are not limited to the foregoing. Any employee may request an
investigation as to his discharge. If an arbitration decision, pursuant to
Article XIV of this Agreement, is rendered in favor of an employee concerning
any dispute over discharge or layoff, the Employer shall not be penalized for
more than eight (8) days back pay.

grievance not so settled shall be presented in writing within three (3) days to
a representative of the Employer and of the Union. However, any grievance
regarding discharge or layoff may be initiated by the Union by written notice to
the Employer immediately after such discharge or layoff. Any grievance not
settled by representatives of the Union and the Employer within five (5) days
after delivery of written notice shall be referred to an arbitrator if the Union
so requests such arbitration in writing. Any complaint or grievance shall be
barred, if not presented or processed in the stated time and manner.
2. The arbitrator shall be selected by agreement of the parties. In the
event of an inability to agree, the selection of the arbitrator shall be made
from a list of five (5) names furnished at the request of either party by the
Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The arbitrator shall have no power
to add to or subtract from any of the terms of this Agreement. In the case of
arbitration, the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all
parties to this Agreement and the expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne
equally by both sides.
ARTICLE XVI
NO STRIKE OR LOCKOUT
1. The Union agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, there shall
be no strike of any or all of the employees of the Employer covered by this
Agreement. The Employer agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, there
shall be no lockout against any or all of its employees covered by this
Agreement. For the purpose of this section, strike shall include a sit-down,
stay-in, slowdown, walkout, curtailment or stoppage of work, interference with
work or receipt of shipment of material or products, picketing the Employer's
premises; provided, however individual employees may elect to refuse to cross a
picket line, if such picket line has been first authorized by the Union involved
and any such refusal by an employee shall not be a violation of this Agreement.
2. In any event of a walkout in violation of the above provision, whether
or not officially authorized by the Union, any employee found guilty of
instigating, fomenting, actively supporting or condoning such strike, shall be
subject to discipline, including discharge, without appeal or recourse, provided
the facts in issue may be subject to arbitration.

law, such term or provision shall continue in effect only to the extent
permitted by such law, and if the term or provision of this Agreement is or
becomes legally invalid, such legal invalidity shall not affect or impair any
other term or provision of this Agreement.
