In respect to your concerns with Article 2.07 of the Collective Agreement, I assure you it is not the Company's intention to have managers doing bargaining unit work on a regular basis. I also assure you that we do not support managers doing bargaining unit work as this is not the function for which we pay them.

Notwithstanding this, we are in the business of serving customers and, therefore, from time to time, we absolutely require the right afforded to us in Article 2.07.

When it is necessary for managers to do bargaining unit work, management will notify a steward if one is available in the worksites. The Company and the stewards will also take up any concerns in regards to this issue at the Joint Labour Management Committee meetings.

RE: #8 Rapid Return Agent Classification

CREATION OF AVISCAR RETURN AGENT CLASSIFICATION:

A Rapid Return Agent classification will be created upon ratification within the Aviscar collective bargaining agreement. This classification will initially be filled from the existing current Aviscar Rental Sales Agents on a voluntary basis by seniority. If not enough current Aviscar Rental Sales Agents volunteer, the lowest seniority current Aviscar Rental Sales Agents may be moved from the Rental Sales Agent classification to the Aviscar Rapid Return Agents classification until the minimum staffing number is reached to support the business.

INTERMINGLING OF AVISCAR & BUDGETCAR CHECKINS:

Employees in this classification will process returns for both Avis and Budget customers and will work as one intermingled classification with the existing Budget Rapid Return agents to ensure that all customers are serviced. The existing Rapid Return Agents at Budget will remain in their respective Collective Bargaining Agreement until such time they exit from the Company or the classification.

OVERTIME & SCHEDULING:

There will be a common dovetailed seniority list for purposes of overtime and scheduling (shift bids, vacation selection, and holidays). In the event of a long term leave, referenced in Article 3.06, where the absence needs to be covered by a part time employee, this coverage will be provided first by a part time employee from the same brand as the absent employee in seniority order.

LAYOFF & RECALL:

The common (Avis and Budget) seniority list within the rapid return agent classification will be used for purposes of layoff and recall. Employees will be laid off and recalled based on their seniority. Refer to article 18.02 (of Avis CBA) for details on administration.

Existing Avis rental sales agents who moved to the new rapid return agent classification shall have the ability to bump into the rental sales agent classification, if their seniority allows.

INCREASING THE WORKFORCE:

In increasing the workforce or replacing attrition, new employees hired into the Rapid Return Agent classification will be covered by the Aviscar collective bargaining agreement. In the advancement of employees to higher paid jobs when ability, merit and capacity are equal, employees with the highest seniority will be given preference.

PAY RATE:

Existing Aviscar employees who are placed in this Rapid Return Agent classification will be paid at the rate of an Avis Rental Sales Associates. Upon ratification, any new employees hired into the classification will fall into an established wage rate and progression as set forth below.

Other administrative items that may arise regarding the Rapid Return Agent classification shall be governed by the respective collective bargaining agreement. Shift bid for Budget Return Agents will be honored for 8.5 hours of work.

RE: #12 Cross-Utilization of Rental Sales Associates for Avis and Budget

During the 2016 negotiations to renew the Collective Agreements between Aviscar, Inc and UFCW Local 175 and Budgetcar, Inc and UFCW Local 175, respectively, the parties agreed to the cross-utilization of volunteer Rental Sales Associates between the Avis and Budget rental counters, under the following conditions:

1. This Agreement covers the rental counters at the Toronto Pearson International Airport only.

2. Where customer demand has created a back-up at a rental counter of either Avis or Budget, respectively, the Company, at its sole discretion, may request volunteer Rental Sales Associates, who are on duty at that time, from the other brand to assist customers (that is, rent vehicles) at that rental counter. Once the customer demand is alleviated, the Rental Sales Associate will return to his/her respective work area.

3. Prior to requesting volunteers, the manger on duty will inform the Shop Steward on duty at that time or, in the event the Shop Steward is not available, the most senior Rental Sales Associate on duty at the time.

4. The Company agrees it will not use this Agreement as a subterfuge to avoid overtime, replacing absent employees or hiring employees at a particular brand. ·

5. In the event of any disputes arising out of this Agreement, the parties agree to meet at their earliest convenience to resolve any disputes.

6. This Agreement shall not constitute precedent for any other situation that may arise and shall not be referred to or relied on by either party in any other matter except as it relates to the enforcement of this Letter of Understanding.

7. The Agreement shall be in effect through the expiration of the Collective Agreement August 31, 2019. The parties agree to review this Letter of Understanding during future negotiations. On contract expiration, upon reasonable notice, either party reserves the right, in its discretion, to cancel this Letter of Understanding.
