During negotiations the parties discussed various shift schedules which would provide the Burrard Brewery with the capability of operating seven (7) days per week at a reasonable cost.
The parties selected the week-end work force (W.W.F.) schedule as the most appropriate for current needs in the maintenance department and the projected requirements in the brewing department. However, the parties recognize that this schedule is not competitive with the seven (7) consecutive day schedules at the Molson Edmonton operation.
Accordingly to ensure that the Burrard Brewery is not disadvantaged with respect to competing for volume or capital investment, the parties agree to jointly develop a continuous operation schedule covering seven (7) consecutive twenty-four (24) hour work days. The parties recognize that to be competitive with the Edmonton operation, the seven (7) day schedule must be competitive in terms of cost, operational effectiveness, and employee acceptance.
The parties will initiate the development of a competitive seven (7) consecutive twenty-four (24) hour work days upon notification that the Burrard Brewery is being considered for a volume assignment and/or capital investment. The parties recognize that the nature of the supply and capital planning processes will result in minimal notice to the parties. Accordingly, the parties agree it will be necessary to ensure they are prepared in advance of receiving such notification. Further, it is agreed that the matter would be resolved within two (2) weeks of receiving notification.
The parties understand that if this matter cannot be satisfactorily resolved, it will negatively affect the brewery's ability to compete for the volume and/or capital.
