(Company Representative)
Dear (Company Representative):
In our recently concluded negotiations, it was agreed that
all new employees hired after the effective date of the collective
bargaining agreement would be classified as probationary apprentices.
Accordingly, the agreement does not affect the probationary
status of existing employees who would still be probationary
helpers, having been hired within the six months preceding the
effective date of our new agreement.
This is to confirm our understanding and agreement that any
individual who is still a probationary helper as of the effective
date of our new agreement, will upon the completion of his probationary
period, receive 70% of Mechanic's rate, plus fringe benefit
and will remain at that rate until such time as he is qualified
and meets the requirements as a fourth year apprentice.

Dear Mr. Brigham:
This will confirm the understanding reached during our recent
negotiations concerning local unions that may be merged or dissolved
by the International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC) after
January 1, 1992 and until the termination of the Standard Agreement
that will expire on July 8, 2007. The Company agrees to meet
and discuss the effects of such mergers on a local by local
basis. Such discussions shall include but are not limited to
hiring, expense agreements and open territory between the merged
locals.
There shall be no change in any term or condition of employment
under the Standard Agreement or any local expense agreement
until such time as the parties reach a mutual agreement as to
such changes.
It is further agreed that such discussions are to begin as
expeditiously as possible following the conclusion of negotiations
for a new Standard Agreement.

parity will be achieved for all of the merged locals within 5
years.

Re: Letter of Agreement
Dear Dana:
This memorandum details the agreement between the parties concerning
potential conflicts between the Company's Alcohol and Drug Policy
and those policies provided by customers as a precondition for
securing contracts for the Company.
The Company will continue its practice of applying good faith
efforts to apply its own policy. Should these efforts be unsuccessful
and a customer insists on implementation of their own policy,
the Company may institute such policies to the extent necessary
to obtain the work.
Good faith efforts by the Company to avoid using the customer's
policy will include:
1. Advising the customer that the Company has agreed with the
IUEC to a comprehensive company wide policy that addresses the
maintenance of a safe and healthy work environment for its employees,
and that it does not wish to apply any additional or different
regulations.
2. If written confirmation of the company's position fails to
change the customer's position, the Company will attempt to
obtain customer approval to as much of its policy as possible.
3. If the customer insists on the complete substitution of its
policy for the Company's policy, the Company shall then seek
volunteers to man said jobs.
4. The Company will not discipline, discharge or lay off employees
solely due to their refusal to volunteer. However, such employees
may be laid off if there is not sufficient other work to which
they may be assigned.
5. The IUEC recognizes the importance of securing adequate volunteers
and will cooperate in assisting in efforts to secure them.
This agreement shall remain if effect for one year unless extended
in writing by the parties.
