SHIFT CHANGING CAVENDISH APPETIZERS

DATE: December 19, 1996

Re: Employees switching shifts

CC: J. Vanbeekveld/G. Whitcher/S. Dowbiggin/ J. Omstead/G. Beleutz/M. Rivard

The following will confirm our agreement with regards to employees requesting to change shifts for personal reasons.

86

Procedure:

1. Change of shifts requests will only be considered for requests within the same department.

2. Two employees have mutually agreed to change shifts within the same department (Cook, Pack, Skilled Trades)

3. Each employee must ask permission from their immediate supervisor in advance; both supervisors have to approve.

4. Requests can only be considered if both employees are on the schedule for the day being requested.

5. Employees’ classification and/or back up status cannot affect people who change shifts (as they already on the schedule according to their own seniority rights).

6. If both are on the schedule, the supervisor will consider the jobs to be performed, the qualifications, willingness, and ability of the employees switching to the other shift.

87

7. Eligible shift premium would be paid to the person who actually worked on the shift where shift premium was applicable.

8. Time cards would be punched in and out of the actual shift worked by each employee.

9. Overtime following the shift would be assigned to the employee who actually worked on that shift were the overtime opportunity exists.

10. Saturday overtime would be assigned to the employee who actually worked the Friday shift where the overtime opportunity exists. (E.g. If overtime on the afternoon on Saturday, the employee who actually worked on the afternoon shift on Friday would be assigned).

11. Sunday overtime would be assigned to the employee who is scheduled for the Monday shift where the overtime opportunity exists.

12. Supervisor will notify Human Resources, in advance of any changes (for crew sheet purposes).

LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN

THE UNITED FOOD & COMMERCIAL WORKERS UNION

ANDCAVENDISH APPETIZERS

RE: 24 HOUR CREWING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will be used effective April 17, 2000:

For Tomorrow’s Day and Afternoon Shift :

• Requirements to the Labour Scheduler by 10:00 am the day before

• Employees will be notified by 2pm to 4pm

If the company cannot reach the appropriate employee to come to work for tomorrow’s shifts, the next available Senior Employee will be contacted and scheduled in.

Changes in Shift/Department or job will now be communicated by “schedule change” postings. These changes will be posted in each plant by 2:00pm for the day shift and 4:30pm for the night shift. Any other changes will be communicated to the employee by telephone.

LAST MINUTE CREWING:

Because 24 hour crewing allows the scheduler to complete both day and afternoon shifts the day before, any changes in the scheduling after 2pm the day or on the day of the shift, will be done on a last minute crewing basis.

If production scheduling calls for a decrease/increase in crewing for a shift, the scheduler will call in/call off employees

89

based on plant wide seniority. The schedule will not be revised to move employees in to home departments when last minute crewing is required.

If an employee calls in sick at any point before or during a shift, the next most senior qualified and available employee will be notified to come in. Due to the nature of the urgency to replace, the company can only call an employee once, and if not available (This means: if there is no answer, if there is a machine, or if it is busy more than 2x) the next most senior employee will be contacted.

PLANT SHUTDOWNS, PARTIAL SHUTDOWNS, DEPARTMENT SHUTDOWNS:

In the case that a situation resulting in a plant/partial shutdown (i.e., Fire, breakdown, hydro outage, etc.), the Company will make every effort to notify the appropriate personnel.

In the case of bad weather (i.e. Snow Storm) the employees are advised to listen to the Local Radio Station CHYR FM 96.7 for details of possible shift cancellations.

If employees cannot be notified before the start of the shift, the Company cannot be responsible for employees reporting to work in these types of situations.

Please note: The schedule will not be revised to move employees in to home departments when last minute crewing is required. Any changes to the schedule after 2 p.m. deadline will be done on a one for one basis.

LETTER OF UNDERSTANDINGDENTAL COVERAGE DURING LAYOFF

BETWEENUNITED FOOD & COMMERCIAL WORKERS INTERNATIONAL UNION, LOCAL 175 & 633

(UNION)AND

CAVENDISH APPETIZERS, A DIVISION OF CAVENDISH FARMS CORPORATION (COMPANY)

A. The Company shall make its best efforts to schedule layoff(s) and shutdown(s) to begin after the commencement of a payroll month, or end prior to the close of a payroll month, in order to permit employees to work and report hours worked for the purposes of the Dental Plan.

100

B. If the Company cannot schedule in accordance with the above, the Company shall make its best efforts to schedule any and all employee training sessions during the shutdown period. When scheduled the employees undertake to make best efforts to attend said sessions to ensure that they have worked hours that can be submitted to the Dental Plan.

C. If the Company cannot schedule sessions or certain employees are unable to report credit for working hours as provided in par. B above, the Company shall continue to encourage and authorize eligible employees to schedule single vacation days during any shutdown period to permit those vacation hours to be submitted to the Dental Plan to ensure continuity of coverage.

D. If the Company is unable to supply a viable opportunity for eligible employees to credit hours

101

to the Dental Plan during a shutdown on the basis of the foregoing steps and if a total shutdown occurs in a month in which one of the CBA Paid Holidays, detailed in Article 21.01 of the CBA, is scheduled, notwithstanding the eligibility provisions of s. 21.05 of the CBA, the Company shall, for the purpose of Dental Plan contribution only, permit an employee to utilize a single Paid Holiday, which coincides with the shutdown period, as paid holiday hours credit to the Dental Plan in order to ensure continuity of dental coverage.

Mr. Cabral

As discussed in Collective Bargaining on April 7th, 2015. You had requested that in the event that the CCWIPP stabilization plan requires an increase in Employee Contributions that the increase will be borne by the employee and the funds will be transferred from the existing COLA clause.

The Company agrees to assist in this reallocation of COLA funds as long as there are no incremental costs associated with the transaction.
