Dear Ms. Sachs,

In response to the Union proposal regarding Article 5.14.03, the Company agrees to dedicate a resource to process pay claims in a timely fashion. 

In addition, the Company agrees to review the status of all outstanding pay claims at every UMHQ meeting as a standing item for discussion.

In the event that the above measures are insufficient, the Company agree that this matter be reopened for bargaining during the life of the collective agreement.

Yours truly,

P.J. Heinke
Senior Director, Labour Relations
