Dear Mr. Walker:

RE: Shift Differential

On behalf of the Board of Governors, attached please find a list of employees affected by the special shift differential clause in effect prior to April 1, 1972.

Carpenters, painters, plasterers, millwrights, electricians and brick-layers appointed prior to April 1, 1972 receive 15% for both afternoon and evening shifts. Plumbers and steam fitters, including controls, afternoon shifts receive 20%, midnight shift 25%. Refrigeration and air conditioning receive 12 1/2%.

It is understood that the Board of Governors of the University of Alberta undertakes to continue to apply shift differential to these employees, and that as a result of this undertaking, it is hereby agreed that the shift differential clause will be struck from the Board/N.A.S.A. Agreement (Grandfather Provision).

Yours truly,

J.B. Caunt
Director
