The Employer recognizes the Union as the sole collective bargaining agent with respect to work, rates of pay, hours and terms and conditions of employment for the appropriate bargaining unit composed of all employees, including employees of lessees, licensees and concessionaires (sometimes herein referred to as \"leased departments\"), except as limited below, who perform work within food markets, discount stores, drug stores and shoe stores presently operated and hereafter established, owned or operated by the Employer within the jurisdiction of the Local Union. The jurisdiction of the Local Union as referred to in this Agreement is defined as set forth in Appendix G. Food markets are defined as those types of establishments covered by the collective bargaining Agreement identified as Retail Food, Bakery, Candy and General Merchandise Agreement, July 31, 1978 to July 26, 1981.\n2. All work or services not specifically excluded by this Agreement is hereby recognized as bargaining unit work. Such bargaining unit work shall not be subcontracted, except as provided herein. Employees of lessees, licensees and concessionaires (hereinafter referred to as leased departments) shall be covered by this Agreement, and the Employer will at all times exercise and retain full control of the terms and conditions of employment within its stores of all employees of such leased departments. The employees of such leased departments shall be and remain members of a single overall unit encompassing all employees at the stores. This Agreement shall apply to all bargaining unit employees of such leased departments, except that if such leased department engages in a line of business which has not been historically and generally been of the type and kind engaged in by the Employer through its grocery, produce, drug, delicatessen, general merchandise, bakery or liquor departments, then in such event, the Union and the operator of the leased department shall meet and negotiate appropriate wages for employees performing such work. If the Union and the operator of the leased department are unable to agree upon such appropriate wages, an arbitrator shall be selected to hear and determine the dispute with respect to such matter, in accordance with Article 12 of this Agreement, notwithstanding in this situation any provisions to the contrary contained therein. The seniority of employees of leased departments shall be separate from the seniority of employees of the Employer and the employees of other leased departments. The obligation of the Employer under this Agreement with respect to any leased department shall be limited to the foregoing, and the Employer shall not be liable for any breach of contract or failure of a leased department to abide by any provision of this Agreement; provided that the Employer shall furnish to the Union written evidence of its agreement with the operator of the leased department that the operator of the leased department has assumed the obligations of this Agreement. With respect to leased departments which are in existence as of the effective date of this Agreement, this Paragraph 2 shall have no application to such leased departments and no claim of violation of this Agreement or any predecessor agreement shall be made or maintained with respect to any such leased departments in existence as of the effective date of this Agreement.\n3. It is recognized by the Employer and the Union that Paragraph 2 of this Section A is a single integral understanding and agreement, and further agreed that if and when a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction or a decision of the National Labor Relations Board, if such decision becomes final without review in the courts, adjudges the said Paragraph 2, or any part thereof, to be in conflict with or in violation of any law, Paragraph 2 in its entirety shall be of no further force and effect and the parties shall, at the request of any party, meet for the purpose of renegotiation and agreement on the said Paragraph 2. This Agreement with respect to said Paragraph 2 only, supersedes the provisions of Article 19.\n4. In the event that the Employer establishes a new department or creates new work in any of the stores or establishments operated by the Employer which are covered by this Agreement, for which wages are not specifically provided in this Agreement, it is agreed that, should the parties be unable to reach agreement upon wages for such work, the parties shall then submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with Article 12 of this Agreement, notwithstanding in this situation any provisions to the contrary contained therein and shall be bound by the terms of the arbitration award.\n5. In the event the signatory Employer should operate discount stores, drug stores or shoe stores within the geographical jurisdiction of the Local Union, the appropriate terms and conditions of employment, as in existence with the other employers operating alike retail establishments, shall be immediately applied by the signatory Employer. Upon failure of the parties to agree on the wage rates, the rates shall be established by arbitration, again notwithstanding in this situation any provisions to the contrary contained therein.\n6. It is recognized by the Employer and the Union that the bargaining unit as defined hereinabove is composed of several segments consisting of food markets, discount stores, drug stores and shoe stores. With reference to such segments, it is agreed that negotiations shall be conducted in each segment, separate and apart from any other segment and that any economic action undertaken by the Union or Employer shall not extend to or include or in any way involve any other segment. It is further agreed that with reference to any segment the Employer may join with any other employers in any collective bargaining negotiations covering such segment and may participate fully therein, including participation in any economic action, which may occur, subject to the limitations hereinabove set forth regarding noninvolvement of other segments.\n7. No restrictions or prohibitions shall be placed on the sale of any prepackaged or pretreated merchandise purchased from any source not directly related through ownership or management control to the Employer. It is understood, however, that the work involved in the sale of such merchandise will be performed in accordance with this Agreement.", "size": 40, "snippet_links": [{"key":
