2. Improvements in breaks
3. Improvements in Safety and Health (Dosimeters and Lunchroom’s)
4. Tech change, language to be added to CBA
5. Implement revised payroll language.

In regards to monetary issues:

1. Putting a fifteen percent (15%) cap on use of part time employees and providing the part time employees with sick days, Stat Holidays and full benefits. (Vision care improvement for all EE’s)
2. Increase in sick days and Personal Days 12 days per year.
3. Increase Pension contributions over three (3) years.
4. Increase wages 1^st year, 2^nd year, and 3^rd
