Dear Mr. Parent:

This is to confirm the following understanding and agreement between the Company and the Union concerning information to be provided to the Union.  Whenever possible, the following will be provided electronically.

(1)       (a)       The Company agrees to furnish the Union quarterly each year during the life of the Agreement referred to above, with a list in alphabetical order containing the name, clock number, and home address and telephone number (when provided to the Company) of each employee covered by this Agreement;

     (b)               The Company will furnish to the Union at monthly intervals the

home addresses of employees who have been transferred from jobs outside the bargaining unit into jobs within the bargaining unit;

(c)                The Company will furnish to the Union at monthly intervals a

list by seniority area showing the seniority of the employees covered by this Agreement.  The list shall include job family, occupational group, department, shift, job code, labor grade and birth date. 

(d)       The Company will furnish to the Union at monthly intervals a report entitled “Pratt & Whitney Employee Recall Rights Report”.  This report is sorted by job family and includes employee name, plant, grade, occupational group, employee clock number, seniority date, layoff date, expiration date, seniority days accrued at the time of layoff, and the employee’s age.  It also identifies the employees in one of four categories: (1) eligible for recall; (2) rights expired; (3) refused recall; and (4) rehired.

 (2)      The Company agrees to furnish to the Union copies of the following Company records on the second Monday of each month:

(a)               A copy of the "employee service record" compiled for the preceding month covering all bargaining unit employees, but having excised therefrom all information contained therein concerning employees not included in the bargaining unit;

(b)               A copy of the New Hire/Rehire Form for each employee hired in the bargaining unit during the preceding month;

(c)                Copies of all Personnel Action Forms reflecting any changes in the status of employees during the preceding month (including employment terminations), but having excised therefrom information or data, if any, which discloses the details, but not the fact, of employment in jobs not included within the bargaining unit.

(3)       In consideration of the above, it is understood and agreed that, except as otherwise provided for in the aforesaid Agreement, the Union shall not request nor receive during the life of that said Agreement any other information, data, or listings related to the wages, hours, or working conditions of employees covered by this Agreement.  This waiver, however, shall not affect any right the Union may have with respect to information concerning pensions, gross hourly earnings or insurance necessary to bargaining for agreements in the future.

It is further agreed that a grievance alleging a violation of the above shall be submitted at Step 2 of the grievance procedure.  Any such grievance, if not settled at Step 2 of the grievance procedure, may be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(a) of Article 7.

Sincerely,

James R. Miller

Vice President, Industrial Relations
