In addition, Argonaut has a real estate brokerage subsidiary established to assist employes in obtaining quality brokerage service through a referral network.

· Employes will be assigned an Argonaut Relocation Specialist for relocation assistance.

· Employes will receive important information concerning real estate matters.

NEW

(Excerpt from the Minutes of the Employe Placement Subcommittee)

During current negotiations, it was agreed that for those employes who relocate as a result of the transfer of operations under the provisions of Paragraph (96), the mileage used to compute the Relocation Allowance shall be based on the distance between the location from which the work is moving and the location to which the work is moved. However, if an eligible employe is presently working at another GM location and has relocated, the mileage used to compute the Relocation Allowance shall be based on the distance between the location at which the employe is presently working and the location to which the work is moving.

EXPLANATION ‑ This new provision provides that where employes who are eligible for a Paragraph 96 move are working at another GM location and have relocated, the mileage used to compute the relocation allowance will be based on the distance between the location where the employe is presently working and the location to which the work is moving.

(101)(a) General Increases. Effective September ~~14, 1987~~ 17, 1990, each employe covered by this agreement shall receive a wage increase in ~~his~~ the employe's straight time hourly wage rate (exclusive of Cost of Living Allowance and Shift Premium) in accordance with the following table:

NOTE: In the case of a classification, the rate for which is determined by a wage rule in the Local Wage Agreement relating the rate for the classification to the rate for another classification or classifications, the above table will determine the rate for the classification where there is a conflict with such wage rule.

* The "straight time hourly wage rate" for an employe paid under an incentive method of pay is defined in Appendix E.

Effective September 17, 1990, in addition to the wage increase set forth in Table I above. but after application of said increase, each employe in a skilled trades job classification which qualifies for journeyman status under the provisions of Paragraph (178) of this Agreement shall receive a wage increase of thirty cents (30cts) per hour, except each employe in a "Skilled Apprentice job classification shall receive that wage increase, if any, which is applicable in accordance with the provisions of the Apprentice Rate Schedule set forth in Paragraph (151) of the Agreement.

The wage increase provided above shall be paid retroactively for all hours worked on and after September ~~14, 1987~~ 17, 1990, provided however, that prior to the effective date of this Agreement, such wage increase shall not be taken into account for incentive pay calculation purposes, and further provided, however, that for purpose of applying Exhibits A, B, D, & E, attached hereto, and letter agreements with respect thereto, the wage rate of an employe shall not be increased by such wage increase prior to the effective date of this Agreement.

(101)(g) Effective with the date of this Agreement but after the application of the wage increase provided in Paragraph (101)(a), ~~$.81~~ $1.68 shall be deducted from the ~~$‑.86~~ $1.73 Cost of Living Allowance in effect immediately prior to that date and ~~$.81~~ $1.68 shall be added to the base wage rates (minimum, intermediary and maximum) for each day work classification in effect on that date, except that said ~~$‑.81~~ $1.68 shall not be taken into account for incentive pay calculation purposes. In the case of employes on an incentive basis of pay, the ~~$.81~~ $1.68 shall be added to the earned rate of such employes. Thereafter, during the period of this Agreement, adjustments in the Cost of Living Allowance shall be made at the following times:

Effective Date Based Upon Three

of Adjustment: Month Average of

the Consumer Price

Index For:

December ~~1, 1987~~ 3, 1990 ..................... August, September,

October, ~~1987~~ 1990

First pay period...................................... November, December,

beginning on or after: ~~1987 and January, 19 1988~~

March 1, ~~1988~~ 1991 and at 1990 and January, 1991

three‑calendar month and at three‑calendar

intervals thereafter month intervals

to June 1, ~~1990~~ 1993. thereafter to February,

March, April, ~~1990~~ 1993.

In determining the three‑month average of the Indexes for a specified period, the computed average shall be rounded to the nearest 0.1 Index Point.

In no event will a decline in the three‑month average Consumer Price Index below ~~333.2~~ 380.5 provide the basis for a reduction in the wage scale by job classification.

EXPLANATION ‑ This paragraph provides for $1.68 from COLA to be folded into the base rate of each classification. The $1.68 was not added to the base rate of incentive classifications, but was added to the earned rate as an unfactored increase (See Appendix E). Quarterly adjustments in COLA were continued as in the previous Agreement.

Sick Leave of Absence

(106) Any employe who is known to be ill supported by satisfactory evidence, will be granted sick leave automatically for the period of continuing disability. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph (111)(c), seniority of such employes shall accumulate during sick leave and shall be broken, figured from the date the sick leave started, on the same basis as provided in Paragraph (64e) for laid off employes breaking seniority. Not later than 10 thirty (30) calendar days prior to such loss of seniority, Management will send a letter to the employe's last known address as shown on the Company records reminding him of the fact that his seniority is subject to being broken as provided above. A copy of such letter will be furnished promptly to the Chairman of the Shop Committee. However, failure through oversight to send the letter to the employe or furnish a copy to the Chairman of the Shop Committee will not be the basis for any claim.

EXPLANATION ‑ This paragraph was changed to provide for an increase from ten (10) days to thirty (30) days for management to send a letter to an employe's last known address reminding him of the fact that his seniority is subject to being broken.

(2) An employe who has at least five (5) year's seniority as of his last vacation pay eligibility date may apply for an advance vacation pay allowance of not less than forty (40) hour increments to the extent of his eligibility and equivalent to the amount of approved vacation time off. Such allowance will be calculated in accordance with Paragraph (190a) and will be paid in the pay period immediately preceding the approved vacation period provided:

(a) the employe has an approved vacation time off application pursuant to Paragraph (202b)(1),

(b) the employe has qualified for ~~100% of full~~ vacation pay allowance in his eligibility year, at least equal to the amount of vacation requested,

(c) the employe makes application for the advance vacation payment allowance two weeks prior to the approved vacation time off period, and

(d) the employe takes the vacation time off.

(3) Each employe will be given a written disposition of his request. Approved vacation time off will not thereafter be cancelled or changed without the mutual consent of Management and the employe.

(4) Recovery of the advance vacation pay allowance payment made to an employe who does not take the vacation time off or who does not have seniority as of his next eligibility date will be made pursuant to Paragraph (49). Recovery of such overpayments may be made from any future payments payable under any term of this agreement or any Supplemental Agreement thereto.

EXPLANATION ‑ This paragraph was changed to permit employes to apply for advance vacation pay once they have qualified for vacation pay allowance in their eligibility year, at least equal to the amount of vacation requested. Requests must still be in 40‑hour increments.

NEW

(Excerpt from the Minutes

Miscellaneous Payments Subcommittee)

.1990

During discussions involving Paragraph (202b)(2) of the current National Agreement, the Union maintained that an inequity existed wherein an employe would file an application for advance vacation pay anticipating that at the time of vacation he would have qualified by working the minimum number of weeks. Under the current system, the employe's application would be rejected since the system checks the number of weeks worked at the point of application rather than at the point of payment. Management stated that the Union's concern will be investigated and after discussion with the International Union, feasible changes will be instituted.

EXPLANATION ‑ This new provision provides that Management will investigate and make feasible changes to the system so that employes may apply for advance vacation pay to the maximum amount they are eligible at the time of receipt of payment. (See attached letter)

Dear Mr. Yokich:

General Motors recognizes that its employes are a very essential part of the Reserve Forces of the United States. It is General Motors policy that employes not be disadvantaged with respect to their job opportunities because of membership in the Reserve Forces. General Motors policy as it applies to hourly employes is to place the employe on a Military Leave of Absence at the point of activation, and at the expiration of that leave to return that employe to their former position or a position of similar status and pay.

.The mobilization of some National Guard and/or Reserve personnel due to the current situation in the Middle East will affect General Motors employes. For this emergency situation only, General Motors has made the decision to grant payment of military leave pay to employes called to and performing long term active duty of more than thirty (30) days. This payment will be equivalent to the difference between what the employe would have otherwise earned working during straight time hours during the first month of active duty and the employe's military earnings for that month minus all allowances for rations, subsistence and travel. In order to receive payment, the employe must furnish Local Management a statement of the military pay received for that month.

It is felt that this action will demonstrate GM's commitment to our reservists and to help soften the impact of the individual's transition from civilian to military status.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Alfred S. Warren, Jr.

General Motors Building 3044 West Grand Boulevard Detroit Michigan 48202

(Military Leave ‑ cont'd)

EXPLANATION‑ This provision provides that employes in the military reserves who were called to active duty during the Persian Gulf crisis would receive pay pursuant to Paragraph 218A for the first thirty (30) days of active duty.

· In January of 1991 this provision was extended to six (6) months. This wage make‑up extension will be paid from funds jointly administered by the UAW and GM.

(218b) When death occurs in an employe's immediate family as defined below, and the employe has seniority in any General Motors plant, the employe, on request, will be excused for any of the first three (3) normally scheduled working days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) immediately following the date of death provided he attends the funeral. The immediate family for purposes of this Paragraph (218b) is defined as including the employe's:

Spouse

Parent

Step‑Parent

Grandparent

Great Grandparent

Step‑Child

Grandchild

Brother

Step‑Brother

Half‑Brother

Sister

Step‑Sister

Half‑Sister

Current Spouse's Parent

Current Spouse's Step‑Parent

Current Spouse's Grandparent

Current Spouse's Great Grandparent

In the event a member of the employe's immediate family as above defined dies while in the active service of the Armed Forces of the United States, the employe may, should the funeral be delayed, have his excused absence from work delayed until the period of three normally scheduled working days which includes the date of the funeral. In the event the body of a member of the employe's immediate family as above defined is not buried in continental North America solely because the cause of death has physically destroyed the body or the body is donated to an accredited North American hospital or medical center for research purposes, the requirement that the employe attend the funeral will be waived. In the case of an employe who is granted a leave of absence due to the illness of a member of his immediate family, as above defined, and such family member dies within the first seven (7) calendar days of the leave, the requirement that the employe otherwise be scheduled to work will be waived.

An employe excused from work under this Paragraph (218b) shall, after making written application, receive the amount of wages he would have earned by working during straight time hours on such scheduled days of work for which he is excused (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, or, in the case of employes working in necessary continuous seven‑day operations, the sixth and seventh work days of the employe's scheduled working week and holidays).

Except for employes compensated on group bonus or piece work, payment shall be made at the employe's rate of pay plus the attached night shift premium if applicable, but not including overtime premium, as of his last day worked. For employes on group bonus or piece work, payment shall be made at the employe's average hourly earned rate plus the attached night shift premium if applicable, but not including overtime premium, for the hours worked during the last pay period in which the employed worked preceding the pay period in which he is excused. Time thus paid will not be counted as hours worked for purposes of overtime.

EXPLANATION ‑ This paragraph was expanded to include Great Grandparents.

~~Dear Mr. Ephlin:~~

Dear Mr. Yokich:

The Corporation and the Union recognize that some employes hired pursuant to Document No. 28 and/or the GIS Program may have the desire to return to their former community. The parties recognize also that, in affording such employes the opportunity to return, it is necessary to do so in a manner consistent with the maintenance of quality and efficiency in both the releasing and accepting plants. Accordingly, the purpose of this Letter is to provide methods and procedures and to detail the circumstances under which eligible employes who apply will be offered the opportunity to return to their former community.

1. Eligible employes are those seniority employes on roll at each a plant ~~with~~ seniority who have been relocated to that plant and worked there six months or more in accordance with Document No. 28 and/or GIS Program and completed the conditions for employment set forth in the Document No. 28 letter mutually agreed to for such plant and who are employed at least ~~100~~ 75 miles distant from the plant from which they were laid off. ~~and still retain seniority at such plant.~~

2. Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the effective date of this Agreement, procedures will be established to allow eligible employes to apply return to their former communities. A day application period will be established in the first quarter of 1988. Subsequent to the initial 30 day application period eligible employes who have worked for six months or more at their new plant may

Eligible employes will be given the opportunity to file an application to return to their former community. ~~Eligible~~ such employes may apply at the personnel office of the plant at which they are employes ~~(on a form to be provided) to return to a former community as defined in Appendix "A" of the National Agreement. Employes~~ and will be provided a copy of their application.

Employes may have only one Return to Former Community application on file at any given time. Once an employe returns to a former community under the provisions of this document, he is no longer eligible to return to any other community until such time he is laid off and relocates in accordance with Document 28.

3. Eligible employes who have applied to return to their former community shall have their names placed on the "return home', list for the community to which they applied.

4. Should an Appendix "A" community with a "return home H list have employment openings, the "return home" list of employes with seniority at a plant in such community and the Appendix "A" area hire list, if any, will be combined and job offers made from such list until the openings are filled or the list is exhausted. Eligible employes who have lost seniority under Paragraph 64(e) at a plant in their former community and who apply for "return home" treatment will be listed in alphabetical order and offered employment opportunities after the combined list has been exhausted. and after any laid off employe with seniority has been considered for such opening. Employes returning to a plant in their former community will acquire seniority in accordance with Appendix D‑1.

Attention: ~~Mr. Donald F. Ephlin~~

Mr. Stephen P. Yokich

Vice President and Director

General Motors Department

Gentlemen:

During current negotiations the parties discussed problems relating to the administration of Appendix "A" of the National Agreement. Following these discussions, General Motors agreed to continue the "area hiring" provisions of the October 2, 1958 National Agreement in order that permanently laid‑off GM employes who apply may be given consideration for employment in other GM plants in the same labor market area. The Union acknowledged the Company's need to promptly fill employment requirements and insure that an applicant is capable of performing the available job. According, the Corporation will ~~endeavor to select an applicant to be offered work from among these higher in seniority,~~ offer job opportunities in seniority order taking into consideration other factors such as the unavailability of the employe, previous job experience, ~~proximity the employing plant,~~ and likelihood of recall.

When selecting employe ~~from among these higher in seniority~~ the date established for each employe for vacation pay allowance and paid absence allowance credit under Paragraph (188) of the National Agreement will be used for non‑skilled trades jobs. For skilled trades jobs, the longest unbroken seniority date in a skilled trades classification will be used.

A skilled trades ~~employe~~ journeyman laid off from a plant and working in a non‑skilled trades classification ~~at another plant within his Appendix "A" area~~ will have his name ~~retained~~ placed on the area hire list and will remain eligible for area hire in the same or a related

skilled trades classification.

An Area Hire is comprised of all plants within a 50 mile radius of a given plant or larger as may be agreed upon by the National Parties. It was mutually agreed that General Motors and the International Union will each appoint a coordinator, ~~in each Appendix "A" area comprised of three (3) or more General Motors facilities~~, who will be responsible for discussing problems concerning the application of the "area hiring" provisions of the National Agreement. If unresolved, such problems may then be referred to the Labor Relations Section of the Corporation and the International Union which jointly have full authority to promptly resolve such matters, including appropriate adjustments. In medical cases an impartial medical examination will be considered.

It is understood that if an employe whose problem is referred to the Labor Relations Section of the Corporation and the International Union is adjudged by the National Parties to be entitled to an adjustment, the employe will be offered an available opening as soon as possible, but in any event within two weeks of such decision. If no such opening develops, he will be offered the opportunity to displace a lesser seniority employe, seniority permitting, at the plant where the problem occurred.

It was further understood that each plant would review local procedures for implementing the provisions of Appendix "A" and that during these reviews particular attention would be directed toward insuring that:

1) Forms for applying for preferential hiring consideration are made available to all seniority employes at the time they are laid off in a reduction in force and that the forms are designed to provide applicants with evidence that they have applied.

2) In areas encompassing three or more locations, a list of all applicants for preferential hiring consideration is prepared monthly. ~~at times when one plant is hiring and one or more other plants have seniority applicants laid off.~~ These lists are to show such pertinent information as the name, address of record, phone number of record, Social Security Number, seniority date, date laid off, date applied, date used to select the employe ~~from among these higher in seniority,~~

skilled classification code, identification of the plant from which applicants were laid off, applicants hired during the previous month and the plant where hired. Such lists are to be circulated to the area coordinators appointed by General Motors and the Union. Where there are only two GM plants in an area, applications are exchanged between the plants, with copies being retained by the home plant.

3) When considering an "area hire" applicant's physical ability to perform available work in a plant, the criteria used is the same as that used when an employe of that plant is undergoing a reinstatement physical examination incident to return to work from a sick leave or layoff.

Very truly yours,

Alfred S. Warren, Jr.

Vice President

EXPLANATION ‑ This document has been expanded and modified as follows:

· Job offers will now be made in seniority order taking into consideration the availability, employe's prior job expertise and the likelihood of recall.

· A laid off skilled trades journeyman who is working in production will be placed on the area hire list and will remain eligible for area hire in the same or related skilled trades classification.

· Area hire areas are comprised of all plants within a fifty (50) mile radius of a given plant. The areas may be larger than fifty (50) miles upon agreement of the National parties.

Attention: ~~Mr. Donald F. Ephlin~~

Mr. Stephen P. Yokich

Vice President

Dear Mr. ~~Ephlin~~ Yokich:

During current negotiations, the Union expressed concern that the increased requirements on the Committeemen's time for attendance at management meetings was, on occasion, preventing employes from receiving representation in a timely manner.

In this regard, the Corporation and the Union agreed that when such a situation exists, the local parties will allow the Alternate District Committeeman to handle current grievances until such time as the District Committeeman becomes available.

In the case of District Committeemen who are also members of the Shop Committee pursuant to Paragraph (11) of the National Agreement, the local parties will allow their Alternate District Committeemen to handle current grievances during the period that such District Committeeman is legitimately involved in meeting with management at Step Two and Step Three of the Grievance Procedure or during other mutually agreed upon local contract negotiations meetings.

Any problems in this area should be raised with the GM Department of the UAW or with the Corporation Labor Relations Staff.

Very truly yours,

Alfred S. Warren, Jr.

Mr. Stephen P. Yokich, Vice President

~~Director~~ General Motors Department

8000 East Jefferson Avenue

Detroit, Michigan 48214

Dear ~~Mr. Ephlin~~ Mr. Yokich:

During these national negotiations, the parties discussed the potential re‑employment of permanently laid off seniority employes with no likelihood of recall at their home plant. Discussions centered on Plant closings, permanent discontinuance of operations, establishment of new plants, transfers of operations covered by Paragraph (96) where there were insufficient applicants to fill available openings, Corporation plants not in area hire areas, and situations where reductions in force and increases in production were occurring simultaneously within the Corporation.

The Corporation assured the Union that it intends to provide maximum employment opportunities and job security for its employes consistent with the Corporation's needs.

As a result of these discussions, it was agreed, that following the effective date of the new National Agreement, the Corporation will discuss situations raised by the International Union which are not covered by Paragraph (96) of the Agreement and which involve employes laid off due to (1) a plant closing or (2) a permanent discontinuance of operations or other reductions in force where the parties agree there is no reasonable likelihood of recall in the near term, and such employes are not provided sufficient employment opportunities under the Appendix "A" area hire agreement. Such situations will be discussed as they arise, taking into consideration such factors as the Corporation's current employment situation, future employment needs in particular areas, the number and seniority of employes currently laid off in such areas, and the proximity of plants with employment

opportunities. The parties may mutually agree that certain seniority employes may ~~apply~~ be eligible for extended preferential employment consideration in specified area hire areas or plants represented by the UAW which may not be in such areas. In some situations, persons accepting employment at another plant may be required to remain there for a specified period.

Eligible applicants will be permitted to file an application as agreed upon, during a specified period following such agreement, based on procedures to be established by the Corporation. Applications must be filed at the plant where an eligible employe is working, laid off, or if closed, at the location designated for such purpose. An employe who declines an offer of employment pursuant to this procedure shall not receive consideration for additional job offers as long as there are other employes capable of doing the available job who have not yet received an offer of employment pursuant to this procedure‑

Employes will be eligible for Extended Area Hire opportunities when their name appears on the Area Hire list. In addition, the Corporation will give employes who are laid off in the situations set forth herein the opportunity, ~~under procedures to be established within 90 days following the effective date of this Agreement,~~ to express their preference for future employment in specified area hire areas or at plants represented by the UAW which may not be in such areas.

Eligible ~~applicants~~ employes shall be given preference for employment in another specifically agreed upon area hire area or plant(s) outside such areas in the same manner as Appendix "A" ~~applicants,~~ except that such ~~applications~~ employes will be considered after those filed in accordance with Appendix "A". ~~Applications filed under this procedure~~ Employes will be considered ~~valid~~ eligible until ~~an applicant's~~ his home plant seniority is broken, or until such rights are cancelled or modified by mutual agreement. ~~Applicants~~ Employes under this procedure will be selected, acquire seniority and otherwise be treated in accordance with the provisions of Appendix "A" and any letters or understandings attending thereto.

~~Applicants~~ Employes who are employed in accordance with the above procedure, and those so employed, who later accept recall or rehire at a former location will be eligible to receive a relocation allowance as provided in Paragraphs (96a) (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the National Agreement after providing documentation satisfactory to Management that they have changed permanent residence and relocated. Married ~~applicants~~ employes may
