  2. Subject to the efficient operation of the Company, the Company will not contract out bargaining unit work. Any work the Company deems necessary to contract out will be discussed by the Union Plant committee and the Company prior to the contract being let.

8.02 - BEER HAULING AND DELIVERY

  2. Where it is necessary for the Company to sublet beer hauling and delivery to outside firms, such hauling, wherever practicable, will be sublet to firms exclusively employing members of the Union. It is clearly understood and agreed that the intent of this paragraph is solely to safeguard employment of members of the Union and not to commit the Company to be a party to forcing employees of other trucking and hauling firms to join the Union.

8.03 - STRIKE - LOCKOUT
  1. There shall be no lockout on the part of the Company and likewise there shall be no sympathetic strikes by the Union while this agreement is in force and in effect, provided the Company does not require its employees to handle, process, or deliver goods coming from, belonging to, or for delivery to any establishment at which a strike or lockout is in progress, and it shall not be a violation of this agreement for employees to refuse to handle, process or deliver such goods or cross an established bona fide picket line.

  2. The Company shall be entitled to the use of the Union Label during the term of this agreement provided the Company strictly lives up to the terms of this agreement.
