WORKFORCE ADJUSTMENTS. During the negotiations conducted in 1996 to renew the Collective Agreements, as a result of the Union proposal on job and bargaining unit security, the parties reviewed the then current provisions of the agreements and Letters of Intent, designed to protect the rights of employees in the event of a workforce adjustment. The Company indicated that although there are no plans to alter the workforce, it is acknowledged that it is not possible to predict the future. In this context, and in recognition of the concerns expressed by the Union, the Company agrees that should a condition develop whereby it is determined by management that within a 30 day period, a significant work-force reduction is required, the Company will review the situation with the Union with a view to discussing the alternatives and reaching agreement on how the reduction can best be implemented to ensure a minimum impact on the employees involved. Should there be no agreement within 30 days of the commencement of these discussions, the Company will utilize layoff or other procedures as provided in the Collective Agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Manager, Labour & Employment Relations Union Gas Limited TT/pk June 6, 2003
