LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING

The Company and the Union acknowledge that new plains of broadcasting, social media and other news related technologies and platforms exist and are ever evolving. 

Based on this understanding, the Company and the Union agree to periodically review the impact and demand on the employees of these new approaches.

All assigned work required to be completed on social media or other platforms shall be considered work hours and subject to the Collective Agreement. 

The Company in no way shall pressure employees to perform these tasks outside of work hours. Individuals shall be allowed to volunteer their time to update these platforms. Volunteered time will not be considered included in calculating the thirty two (32) hour maximum averaging outlined in Article 4.3 for part-timers.
