ARTICLE 18.
OTHER SERVICES
In the event an Employer, party to this Agreement, may require
the services of employees coming under the jurisdiction of this Agreement in a
manner and under conditions not provided for in this Agreement, then and in such
instances the Local Union and the Employer concerned may negotiate such matters
for such specific purposes, subject to the approval of the Multi-Region Change
of Operations Committee.
The Parties recognize the need to attract and establish new
business in the same day, next day, and second day market, and to regain
business lost to non-union expedited carriers. To this end and for the purpose
of competing effectively against non-union carriers that are able to utilize
employees without regard to strict employee classifications, there shall be
established a new position (Premium Service Employee). The “Premium Service
Employee” will operate in accordance with the NMFA and its Supplemental
Agreements and subject to the final approval of the Multi-Region Change of
Operations Committee.
