SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT 
Existing language in Article 10.04 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement restricts use of sick

accrued sick leave annually for medical and/or dental appoints that the employee(s) is unable to
arrange during non-working hours. Requests for such leave shall require a seven (7) day advance
notice and will be accompanied by documents such as a doctor's note. Accrued vacation leave
shall be used to cover personal appointment and medical and/or dental appointments beyond the
twelve (12) hour annual limit of sick leave use. 
Term of the Agreement 
The current Collective Bargaining Agreement is in effect until May 31, 2012.
