UNION SECURITY AND CHECK-OFF
OF UNION MEMBERSHIP DUES
(TA 9-15)
Section 1 Union Security
It is hereby mutually agreed and understood between the parties that:
1

a) Employees now in the bargaining unit shall, as a condition of employment, pay to the Union
such amounts that are equivalent to the periodic membership dues and initiation fees
uniformly required as a condition of acquiring or retaining membership in the Union on or
before the tenth (10th) day after the thirtieth (30th) day following the beginning of such
employment or the effective date of this Agreement, whichever is the latter.
b) Employees hired, rehired, or transferred into the bargaining unit after the effective date of this
Agreement shall, as a condition of employment, pay to the Union such amounts that are
equivalent to the periodic membership dues and initiation fees on or before the tenth (10th)
day after the thirtieth (30th) day of their employment in the bargaining unit.
c) The Union shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all liability which
may arise by reason of the execution, interpretation, or application of this Agreement.
d) If any section or part of this Agreement is held invalid or illegal under any State or Federal
law, this Agreement shall be considered null and void.
The union security (but not the dues check-off authorization) provisions of this Agreement shall be
of no force and effect in Indiana and New York to the extent that the making or enforcement of such
provisions is contrary to state law; provided, however, that if such state law is either declared invalid
or is repealed or modified to make union security (including any form thereof) lawful, the union
security provisions of this Agreement will be in force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law

agency fee if those lesser forms of union security are all that is permitted by state law.

of membership.
Section 2 Dues Deduction

Union in accordance with the Constitution and By-Laws of the Union from the pay of each employee
who is or who becomes a member of the Union within the scope of the bargaining units covered by

is as follows:

Deductions shall be made in conformity with the international union constitution and bylaws,
applicable State or Federal Laws, and the provisions of this Section of the Agreement.
A properly executed Authorization for Check-Off of Dues form for each employee for whom Union
membership dues are to be deducted hereunder, shall be delivered to the local management before
any deductions are made. Deduction shall be made thereafter, only under Authorization for CheckOff of Dues forms which have been properly executed and are in effect. Any Authorization for
Check-Off of Dues form which is incomplete or in error will be returned to the Local Union by the
local management.
Thereafter, on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each succeeding month the Local Union shall
furnish local management with any additional executed Authorization for Check-Off of Dues forms
3

under which Union membership dues are to be deducted beginning with the following calendar
month.
Union membership dues for any calendar month shall be deducted on the second pay period of each
calendar month. It is understood that no deductions will be made from the first pay of a new
employee. In the case of employees rehired, or returning to work after layoff or leave of absence,
or being transferred back into the bargaining unit, who previously have properly executed
Authorization for Check-Off of Dues forms, deductions will be made for membership dues as
provided herein. The Company agrees during the life of this agreement, to deduct from the pay of
each employee voluntary contributions to UAW V-Cap, providing each employee executes the
appropriate authorization.
The local union and local management will work out an appropriate method to provide union dues
checkoff authorization forms for employees contemplating retirement. The Company agrees also to
deduct union membership dues from the pension checks of retirees who voluntarily elect to have
deductions made.
In cases where a deduction is made which duplicates a payment already made to the Union by an
employee, or where a deduction is not in conformity with the provisions of the International Union
Constitution and By-Laws, refunds to the employee will be made by the Local Union.
Deductions for any calendar month shall be remitted to the Financial Secretary of the Local Union
as soon as possible after the tenth (10th) day of the following month. Local management shall furnish
the designated financial officer of the Local Union, monthly, with a list of those for whom deductions
have been made and the amounts of such deductions. An electronic spreadsheet in Excel containing
a list of employees, addresses and last four (4) digits of the employees social security number will
be sent with the remittance of dues.
Any employee who loses seniority or who is transferred to a classification not in the bargaining unit
shall cease to be subject to check-off deductions beginning with the month immediately following the
month in which the loss of seniority or transfer occurred. The Local Union will be notified by local
management of the names of such employees following the end of each month.
Any dispute which may arise as to whether or not an employee properly revoked an Authorization
for Check-Off of Dues form shall be reviewed with the employee by a representative of the Local
Union and a representative of local Management. Should this review not dispose of the matter, the
dispute may be referred to the arbitrator, whose decision shall be final and binding on the employee,
the Union and the Company. Until the matter is disposed of, no further deductions shall be made.
The Company shall not be liable to the International Union or its locals by reason of the requirements
of this Section of the Agreement for the remittance or payment of any sum other than that constituting
actual deductions made from employee wages earned.
The Union shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all claims, demands,
suits, or other forms of liability which may arise out of, or by reason of, action taken by the Company
in compliance with the provisions of this Section, in reliance upon the Authorization for Check-Off
of Dues which have been furnished to it.
The Union agrees that there shall be no collection of dues at any time on Company property.

Article X
REPRESENTATION
(TA 5-2)
The representation system in each plant where the Union now has bargaining rights shall remain in
effect unless changed by mutual agreement by the Company and the Local Union.
The Company shall recognize a National Bargaining Committee of the Union, one member of which
shall be a skilled trades employee, for the purpose of negotiating modifications, amendments,
termination or renewal of this Agreement. The Company and the National Bargaining Committee
shall meet from time to time as meetings may be requested by either party.

Article X
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
(TA 4-21)
A grievance shall be construed to mean any dispute between the Union and the Company or
between the Company and any employee or group of employees concerning the effect, interpretation
or application of any of the terms of this Master Agreement or Local Supplement Agreements, or any
alleged breach of this Master Agreement or Local Supplement Agreements. All grievances shall be
resolved only as provided for in the Grievance Procedure which follows.
Step One
Any employee having an alleged grievance or one designated member of a group having an alleged
grievance shall take it up orally with his immediate supervisor or will request and receive permission
of his immediate supervisor to discuss it with the appropriate Union Representative (hereinafter
referred to in this Article as the Representative). The parties recognize the importance of the settling
of grievances at the earliest practicable opportunity and, therefore, agree to devote concentrated
effort to resolve grievances at this stage judiciously and thereby minimize the necessity of reducing
grievances to writing.
No complaint or grievance shall be considered which is not submitted to the immediate supervisor
within ten (10) working days after the employee or group of employees was aware of the occurrence.
No complaint or grievance shall be considered which is not submitted to the immediate supervisor
within thirty (30) days total after the occurrence regardless of when the employee or group of
employees becomes aware of it. No remedy will apply more than thirty (30) days total prior to the
date the grievance was first filed in writing.
If the complaint is not settled within two (2) working days, excluding Saturday, Sunday and holidays,
from the date of oral referral to the immediate Supervisor and the employee decides to pursue the
grievance further, he shall have it reduced to writing on a standard grievance form provided by the
Company for this purpose. The grievance shall outline the nature of the complaint, the paragraph or
section of the collective bargaining agreement allegedly violated or other basis for complaint, and
the recourse requested in the way of remedial action, and include a statement of the facts supporting
the grievance. The grievance must be signed by the employee and the Representative and received
within two (2) working days of the Supervisor's oral answer, excluding Saturday, Sunday and
holidays. The Supervisor shall give his decision in writing within five (5) working days of his receipt
5

of the written grievance excluding Saturday, Sunday and holidays, which will be final unless the
Union timely appeals to Step Two.
Step Two
In the event the procedure above does not result in a satisfactory adjustment, the written grievance
may be appealed to Step Two. The Union Representative responsible for processing complaints in
Step Two shall, within two (2) working days of the rejection in Step One, present the written grievance
to the next level manager of the work area involved and request an appointment to discuss the
grievance. The manager shall grant the appointment and submit his decision in writing within five (5)
working days of the request for appointment. The managers decision will be final unless the Union
timely appeals to Step Three.
Step Three
In the event the above procedure does not result in a satisfactory settlement, the grievance may be
appealed to Step Three of the Grievance Procedure. To appeal a grievance to Step Three, the Union
Representative shall, within five (5) working days of the rejection in Step Two, submit a written
request to appeal the Step Two decision to the Human Resources Generalist for the bargaining unit.
The Human Resources Generalist and a next level manager above the manager who made the Step
Two decision shall meet with the Union within ten (10) working days of the written appeal to Step
Three. In this Step Three meeting, both the Company and the Union must share all information
supporting their respective positions on the grievance. No party may introduce facts or make
arguments in Step Four that were not made in this Step Three meeting.
The Company shall provide the Union Representative its written response to the Step Three appeal
within five (5) working days of this Step Three meeting.
The decision of the Company rendered in Step Three shall be final and the case shall be considered
settled on the basis of the Companys decision unless the Union submits a written notice of intent to
appeal to the Arbitrator, provided it is the type of case on which the Arbitrator is authorized to rule,
to the Human Resources Generalist for the bargaining unit, within ten (10) working days after the
Company has rendered its Step Three decision.
Step Four
A grievance appealed from Step Three shall be scheduled for arbitration no later than three (3)
months following such appeal from Step Three.
The arbitrator will be selected from a list of five (5) names provided by the FMCS. The union shall
initiate the request for arbitrators within five (5) working days following receipt of the Companys Step
Three decision. The method of selection of the Arbitrator shall be that each party will alternately
strike a name from the panel until one is left. The remaining name will be the Arbitrator. In
determining which party will strike the first name, a coin will be flipped with the winner making the
first name deletion. Each party shall have the right once on each arbitration case to request a new
panel, provided that such request must be made within five (5) working days of receipt of the panel
to be replaced.

Prior to arbitration, either party may request the other party to meet and discuss the grievance or to
submit it to mediation, provided that a meeting or mediation does not extend the time by which the
arbitration must be completed.
The Union and the Company shall be permitted to call upon the services of International
Representatives of the UAW for the purpose of adjusting a specified grievance arising under the
terms of this Agreement, or such supplemental agreements as may be negotiated between the Local
Union and the Company. The Company shall permit such International Representative to enter the
Plant provided that the Company is notified of the purpose of the visit at the time request for
appointment is made. It is understood that request for appointment must be submitted at least
twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the visit. The Company reserves the right to have a
representative of the Company accompany such International Representative while he is in the
Plant.
The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator will be paid one-half by the Company and one-half by the
Union, and all other expenses shall be borne by the party incurring them.
All cases shall be presented to the appropriate Arbitrator, either in the form of a written brief, or orally,
or both, each party setting forth the facts and its position and the arguments in support thereof. The
briefs of both parties, if they are to be submitted, shall be filed with the appropriate Arbitrator at any
time prior to the beginning of the hearing. Each party shall furnish the other party with three (3)
copies of its brief in each case, such exchange to occur at the same time the briefs are submitted to
the Arbitrator, but in no event shall the exchange take place less than two (2) hours before the
commencement of the hearing. A witness, who may or may not be the aggrieved employee, may be
called into any arbitration hearing in order to submit additional facts or oral testimony. Either party
may call its witnesses, whose only interest shall be to submit facts which are pertinent to the
grievance. The Arbitrator shall hold a hearing in the area where the Plant is located.
It shall be the function of the Arbitrator, after due investigation and within thirty (30) days after the
close of the hearing to render a decision. The Arbitrators ruling, opinion, and award shall be confined
to the issue or issues of the dispute. Neither party shall have the right to waive the thirty (30) day
maximum limit during which the ruling, opinion and award must be made.
In disciplinary layoff and discharge cases, the Arbitrator shall have the power to adjudge the guilt or
innocence of the employee involved, and review any penalties imposed on employees and modify
or amend penalties if in his judgment the penalty is too severe. If the Arbitrator shall adjudge the
employee innocent of the offense for which he was disciplined or discharged, the Company shall
reinstate the employee in full with accumulated seniority and in case the employee was penalized
by loss of working time, will pay him back wages, less any unemployment compensation which he
may have received during the period of his separation from the payroll of the Company and less
compensation for personal services other than the amount of compensation he was receiving from
any other employment which he had at the time he last worked for the Company and which he would
have continued to receive had he continued to work for the Company during the period covered by
the claim.
The Arbitrator shall have no power to add to or subtract from or modify any of the terms of this
Agreement or any agreements made supplementary hereto, to establish or change any wage, or to
pass on any matters dealing with the Rates of Production, New Jobs and Wages sections of this
Master Agreement or sections on these subjects in the Local Supplements.
7

Disputes involving any benefits plan shall not be taken up under the provisions of this Grievance
Procedure but shall be handled instead through the procedures outlined in the respective benefits
plan.
Any grievance not appealed from a decision from Step One, Step Two or Step Three of this
procedure to the next step within the specific time limits outlined herein shall be considered as
resolved between the parties. Any grievance not answered by the Company within the specific time
limits outlined in the first or second steps of the grievance procedure shall automatically advance the
grievance to the Third Step of the Grievance Procedure. Nothing in this procedure shall preclude the
parties from conducting additional meetings by mutual agreement to discuss the grievance(s),
provided that the time limit for proceeding with any grievance may not be modified except in a writing
signed by the Union and the Company that contains a date certain to complete that step.
After a case on which the Arbitrator is empowered to rule hereunder has been referred to him, it may
be withdrawn by the submitting party at any time prior to actual submission to the Arbitrator. Any
claim with origin prior to the date hereon may not be appealed to the Arbitrator provided for herein,
except by mutual consent. It is agreed that any grievance properly filed under the provisions of the
Local and Master Agreements dated May 3, 2011, may be further processed in keeping with the
provisions and limitations under said Master Agreement.
Claims against the Company will not be accepted for consideration for a period prior to the date the
grievance was first filed in writing, unless the circumstances made it impossible for the employee or
for the Union, as the case may be, to know prior to that date that there were grounds for such a
claim. In such cases, retroactive claims shall be limited to a period of thirty (30) days prior to the date
the claim was first filed in writing.
There shall be no appeal from the Arbitrators decision, which will be final and binding on the Union
and its members, the employee or employees involved, and the Company. The Union will discourage
any attempt of its members, and will not encourage or cooperate with any of its members in any
appeal to any court or Labor Board from a decision of the Arbitrator.

Article X
PROMOTIONS AND JOB BIDS
(TA 4-19)
Where Skills and Ability among employees who have bid for a posted open position are equal the
most senior qualified employee shall be selected and transferred to the higher or lower rated position.
Arrangements may be made locally by mutual agreement to establish appropriate procedures for
posting of such openings. If written tests are used, the results of the test will not be the sole criteria
for determining the relative qualifications of the candidates.

Article X
VETERANS
(TA 5-1)
Honeywell shall make available to employees covered by this Agreement the same veterans and
military leave policies and benefits at the same terms and conditions, plan design, administration,
funding and cost sharing, as Honeywell offers to non-bargaining unit employees at the site and as
8

they may change from time to time, provided that those policies and benefits will not be construed
to change the employment relationship under this Agreement.

Article X
DISCHARGES
(TA 4-20)
In the event the Company suspends an employee pending investigation, the Company shall give or
send its decision in writing to the employee as soon as possible. The Company may suspend an
employee without pay pending an investigation, provided that the employee will be reimbursed for
any lost time that exceeds any discipline that results from the investigation.
The Company may discharge any employee for proper cause. At the time of the discharge the
employee and the Union will be given a copy of the disposition. The procedures for providing this
notification will be developed locally. If the discharged employee desires, and if in the sole discretion
of the Company is not a security risk, he may contact his appropriate union representative
(hereinafter referred to as the Representative) before leaving the Plant.

Article X
HOURS OF WORK / OVERTIME
For the purpose of this Agreement, the employee work week will begin at 12:01 a.m., Monday,
and end at 12:01 a.m. the following Monday unless changed by local agreement. For
purposes of this Agreement, the first (day) shift is that shift which starts nearest 7:00 a.m.,
the second (afternoon) shift follows the first shift, and the third (midnight) shift follows the
second shift. The Company and the Union understand that in some locations and in some
businesses it may be necessary to operate in continuous 24 hour/day - 7day/week schedules
in addition to those described here.
The Company retains the right to set standard hours of work, break times, meal times, clean-up
times and shift schedules locally, which may vary by classification, department or product line. Local
management will provide the local Union advance notice and an opportunity to discuss any change
in standard hours of work, break times, meal times, clean-up times and shift schedules.
Employees covered by this Agreement will be compensated at time and one-half their regular hourly
rates of pay for all time actually worked in excess of forty (40) hours in a work week. The Company
will not cancel regularly scheduled work hours for the sole purpose of avoiding payment of
overtime.
Procedures for notification, assignment and tracking of overtime work may be negotiated locally at
each site.
In the event of any grievance over missed hours of work, including overtime, the remedy will be to
provide the aggrieved employee the next available work for which he is qualified, to make up for the
missed work, but there will be no back pay remedy for time not actually worked.

Seventh Consecutive Day


Overtime worked on a seventh consecutive work day of a standard work week will be paid at the
rate of two (2) times the employees regular straight time hourly rate of pay. To be eligible for seventh
consecutive day pay, the employee must have worked a full day, at least eight (8) hours, on each of
the previous six (6) days in that work week.
No Pyramiding
For the purposes of computing overtime compensation, hours worked will not be pyramided,
compounded or in any way paid twice.
Call-in and Call-back
Any employee called in to work or called back to work after completion of his regular shift shall
receive pay for all time actually worked or four (4) hours of pay at the employee's regular hourly rate
of pay, whichever is greater.
Any employee permitted to come to work without having been properly notified that there will be no
work shall receive pay for all time actually worked or four (4) hours of pay at the employee's regular
hourly rate of pay, whichever is greater, except in case of labor disputes or other conditions beyond
the control of the Company.

Article X
ABSENCES
(TA 4-20)
Employees absent from work must notify the Company on the first day of absence. The Company
will determine the process for providing such notification at each local site. If notification is not
received within three (3) working days, the employee will lose all seniority rights. Any employee who
reported absent within three (3) working days who remains away from work for more than one (1)
working week, unless an authorized leave of absence has been granted, shall lose all seniority rights;
the only exceptions being those cases where it was impossible for him to return as stipulated above
because of circumstances beyond the employee's control, adequately supported by satisfactory
proof. Arrest or incarceration are not exceptions to this Article.

Article X
LEAVES OF ABSENCE
(TA 4-29)
Employees covered by this Agreement are eligible for all leaves of absence available to other
employees at their work site, on the same terms and conditions applicable to those other employees
and as the Company may change them from time to time. These include the following leaves, with
current Company policy shown for reference:
FMLA (Corp Policy 2056)
Bereavement Pay (Policy AERO-HR02)
10

Jury and Witness Duty Pay (Policy AERO-HR12)


General Military Leave Policy (Corp Policy 303)
Limited Duration Military Leave Policy (Corp Policy 326)
Unpaid LOA (Policy Aero-HR26)
By making the foregoing applicable to bargaining unit employees the same as other Honeywell
employees, including as they may change from time to time, the parties do not waive any other rights
under this Agreement.
Any employee covered by this Agreement, including any employee elected or appointed to
office in an international union or the local union, or elected or selected to full time public
office, may at the Companys discretion, if he/she requests in writing, be granted an unpaid
leave of absence while in office. Such leave request must be renewed each year.
Additionally, any employee covered by this Agreement, if he requests in writing, may be granted an
unpaid leave of absence to serve a charitable, public, or other recognized organization. Such leave
must be taken in yearly increments and renewed each year. Effective on the date of commencement
of such leave, the employee will be treated for all purposes as a voluntary quit but shall be reinstated
as outlined below.
If, within thirty (30) days of an employee's cessation of such pursuit, the employee applies for
reemployment at the plant granting such leave, the employee will be reemployed in accordance with
his seniority to the next available position for which he is qualified, subject to any other applicable
provisions and practices of the local supplemental agreements and in keeping with the normal
employment standards of the plant involved. Employees returning from these leaves of absence will
be reinstated in line with local seniority provisions and their seniority will accumulate during said
leaves.
Educational Leave
Educational leaves of absence will be granted to employees with one (1) year or more of seniority,
upon timely application for full-time attendance at an educational or training institution. Effective on
the date of commencement of such leave, employees will be treated for all purposes as voluntary
quits except as they may fulfill conditions outlined below for return to employment. If such a leave
extends beyond one (1) year, it must be renewed annually. An employee granted an educational
leave who returns to active employment will not be granted another such leave for at least one (1)
year.
If, within thirty (30) days of an employee's cessation of such educational pursuit he applies for
reemployment at the plant granting such leave, he will be reemployed in accordance with his
seniority to the next available position for which he is qualified, subject to any other applicable
provisions and practices of the local supplemental agreements and in keeping with the normal
employment standards of the plant involved. Upon application for reemployment the employee will
furnish proof from the school attended of his full-time attendance and the period of such attendance.
If reemployed, the employee will be credited with the total amount of seniority held at the time of the
commencement of such leave. It is understood that such leave shall be granted only where the
requirements of the plant permit and replacement employees are available.

Article X
RATES OF PRODUCTION
(TA 4-22)
The Company agrees that the rates of production will be set on the basis of fairness and equity and
they shall be consistent with the quality of workmanship, efficiency of operation and reasonable
working capacities of normal operators. Allowance will be made for personal time and other elements
such as tool allowances where these are factors.
When the Company decides to study a job, it will give advance notice to the employee who works
on the job. The supervisor will instruct in the method of performing the operation. The Company shall
then notify both the supervisor and the employee of the standard on the job after the study has been
completed.
In the event of a dispute over the new standard, the Company will review the study and the new
standard with the Union.

Article X
NEW JOBS
(TA 4-22)
When new jobs are placed in production, the Company will notify the Union promptly in writing, and
if the job cannot be placed in existing classifications by mutual agreement, the Company will set up
a new classification and a rate covering the job in question, and will designate it as temporary. A
copy of the temporary rate and classification name will be furnished to the Union.
Within thirty (30) days after such a new job has been placed into production, the Company and Union
will negotiate the rate and classification. If the parties agree on the new rate and classification, they
shall become part of the local wage schedule, and the negotiated rate, if higher than the temporary
rate, shall be applied retroactively to the date when the job began.

Article X
EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK
(TA 4-19)
The company recognizes and agrees to abide by the principle of equal pay for equal work. It is
understood in determining the question of proper classification that the content of the job shall be
the basis for determining whether or not the employee is properly classified. Any dispute arising as
to the question of proper classification of an employee will be subject to the grievance procedure
including the Arbitrator.

Article X
VACATIONS
(TA 9-15)
Effective January 1, 2017, the vacation year will coincide with the calendar year and employees will
earn vacation according to their seniority on an earn as you go basis. All vacation must be used
12

within the same year the vacation is earned. Vacation that is not used will not be paid out and will
be lost (use it or lose it).
Employees will earn 1/12 of their annualized vacation benefit during each month of employment in
the calendar year. For purposes of this calculation, an employee who works a single day in the
month will be treated as having been employed by the Company for that entire month. Works a
single day means actually physically reporting to work and completing a full work shift. Part-time
employees will earn vacation on a pro rata basis.
Although vacation is on an earn as you go basis, employees on active duty may use their current
full-year vacation at any time during the year, before it is actually earned. In the event an employee
terminates employment, any current year vacation used in excess of the amount that had been
earned will first be deducted from his or her final paycheck to the extent permissible by law, or
otherwise treated as a debt owing from the employee to the Company.
Seniority for vacation purposes is based on the number of full years of seniority an employee has or
will have accumulated on by June 30 of that year. New hire employees may not actually use any
vacation time until they have successfully completed their probation period.
Vacation will be paid at the employees regular straight time hourly rate and a vacation day will be
paid as an eight (8) work day regardless of the employees actual work schedule.
Vacation eligibility will be as follows:
0 year up to 3 years
3 years up to 5 years
5 years up to 15 years
15 years up to 20 years
20 years and more

40 hours
80 hours
120 hours
160 hours
200 hours

From time to time, the Company may initiate an annual production shut-down period at a local site,
during which employees will be required to use their vacation time.
Procedures for requesting and taking vacation will be determined in the Local Supplements, provided
that vacation must be requested and approved by the employees supervisor in advance of the time
off and the Company may decline vacation requests based on business needs. Employees on
approved and otherwise unpaid leave, including FMLA, must use any unused earned vacation
concurrently with the leave.
All vacation through December 31, 2016 will be calculated and paid, or taken as physical vacation,
as provided in the Master Agreement dated 2011-2016.
The Company will not cancel an employees vacation once it has been approved without the employees
consent except for business necessity and considering any personal hardship to the employee. In the
event the employee objects to changing his vacation upon a supervisors request, the need for the
change will be discussed with and decided by a next level manager. If an employees previously
approved vacation is cancelled for business necessity, the employee must reschedule it later in the
same calendar year. If the cancelled vacation time cannot be rescheduled, the Company will pay the
employee for the unused time at the employees regular straight-time hourly rate of pay.
13

Article X
SICK AND PERSONAL TIME
In the event applicable law requires paid or unpaid sick or personal time off from work, employees
covered by this Agreement must use their vacation time under this Agreement concurrent with any
leaves required by law to the extent permitted by law. Time off for these purposes must be requested
by the employee and must be granted by the Company in accordance with such applicable law.
Employees will receive a last, full-year Paid Absence Allowance (PAA) credit on June 30, 2016,
which they may use as follows, at their option: 1) use it by June 30, 2017 and / or receive
payment for unused PAA under the terms and conditions of the 2011 2016 Master Agreement;
or 2) receive advanced payment for all unused PAA as a one-time HSA contribution in January,
2017. Employees who want the HSA option must elect it by December ___, 2016. Employees
will not earn PAA after May 3, 2016.

Article X

(TA 4-22)

color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability or military service. The Union agrees

Article X
HEALTH AND SAFETY
The Company shall continue to make reasonable provisions for the safety and health of the
employees during the hours of their employment by providing protective devices and other
equipment necessary to protect the employees from injury and sickness.
If a dispute arises regarding the necessity of certain protective devices and other equipment or if an
employee has good reason to believe that an assigned job may be dangerous, the employee will
notify the supervisor immediately. If the matter is not resolved with the supervisor, the employee will
notify the Union and the Union will address the matter with the Companys Health, Safety and
Environmental lead for the site. If the dispute is not then resolved, the Company shall make an
immediate investigation of legitimate safety complaints including consideration as to the advisability
of stopping the job pending final determination of the dispute where in the opinion of Company such
action is warranted. If, however, the decision of the Company is that the job is safe, the employee
must perform the job assigned. If the decision of the management is that the job is safe, and the
employee still contends otherwise, a procedure for obtaining a determination from an individual or
agency acceptable to both the Company and the Union shall be established locally. The
determination of the individual or agency shall be final and binding on the Union and its members,
the employee or employees involved and the Company.

Article X
SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS
(TA 4-22)
The Company and the Union agree that before each local supplemental agreement negotiated on a
local level is made effective, it shall be referred to the International Union and to Company leadership
for their approval before becoming effective.
Oral or written agreements other than the local supplemental agreement need not be submitted to
the International Union nor to the Company leadership for approval. They shall not, however, conflict
with the provisions of this Agreement.

Article X

(TA 4-19)
It is the intent of the parties that the procedures outlined in this Agreement and all supplemental
agreements hereto, shall serve as a means for peaceful settlement of all disputes that may arise
between the parties.
The Union will not cause or permit its members to cause nor will any member of the Union take part
in any strike, work stoppage, sit-down, stay-in or slowdown, or any curtailment of work or any
restriction of production or interference with production in any plant of the Company or picket any of
the Company's plants or premises until all of the bargaining procedure as outlined in this Agreement
has been exhausted, and in no case on which the Arbitrator shall have ruled and in no other case

procedure including the Arbitrator.

Standards for Applications of Special Early Retirement Provision Honeywell International Inc.
Pension Plan for Hourly Employees
Article IV, Section 2(d) of the Pension Plan provides that an employee may be retired early at the
option of the Company or under mutually satisfactory conditions provision he is otherwise eligible.
The following standards have been adopted by the Company as a guide in the application of this
provision.
Standards:
A. An employee who is inefficient by reasons of permanent disability.
The retirement must be in the best interest of the Company. It is intended to benefit employees
unable to work efficiently through no fault of their own. This contemplates that the efficiency
of operation will be improved by reason of the retirement which may be the case in any of the
following situations:
i.

The employee is no longer physically or mentally capable of performing his work in an


efficient and satisfactory manner.

ii.

The employee, though still capable of performing his work satisfactorily, is prevented by
chronic physical illness or physical disability (less than total) from working regularly to the
extent that efficiency of operation is interfered with.

iii.

The employees condition based on medical evidence satisfactory to the Company, is such
that, although able to perform the duties of his job satisfactorily, he would thereby be
jeopardizing his health or that of fellow employees, and it is expected that this condition
will be continuous until his normal retirement age.

iv.

The employee is on medical leave (medical leave expired) or medical layoff and his
condition, based on medical evidence satisfactory to the Company, is expected to be
continuous until his normal retirement age, and the probability of his being reinstated prior
to his normal retirement age is remote because of his physical condition.

The determination of Company interest is not necessarily to be made in reference to the particular
job held by the employee; consideration should be given to the possibility of placing the employee
on other work in line with his physical capacity and seniority.
32

It is in the Companys interest to see that this provision of the Plan is not abused or misused.
A discharge for cause shall not constitute retirement at the option of the Company or under
mutually satisfactory conditions. It is not in the Companys best interest to reward misconduct,
including deliberate poor job performance or absenteeism, with higher retirement benefits.
B. An employee who is laid off.
i.

Consideration for special early retirement may be given to an employee who is laid off as
a result of a plant closing or discontinuance of operations; however, the fact that an
employee faces layoff as a direct result of a plant closing or discontinuance of operation
may or may not be grounds for granting a special early retirement benefit.

Consideration for special early retirement may also be given to an employee whose layoff appears
to be permanent and who appears to have no further opportunity for employment.

require a meeting prior to sixty (60) days before the expiration date of this Agreement.
The Company and the Union, for the life of this Agreement, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waives
the right and each agrees that the other shall not be obligated to bargain collectively with respect to
any subject or matter referred to or covered in this Agreement, even though such subjects or matter
may not have been within the knowledge or contemplation of either or both of the parties at the time

Agreement by the withdrawal or modification of proposals made during the course of negotiations
