four (34) consecutive hours free from work. If work is performed on that day, the rate of

party shall have thirty (30) days from the date on which the party becomes aware, or ought to

within the allotted thirty (30) daytime period.

representative, the Company and a representative of the Union within five (5) working days

I.A.T.S.E. Local 411 Production Coordinators Collective Agreement May 1, 2018 April 30, 2021
13
equally by the Producer or Company and the Union, except that no party shall be obligated to
pay the cost of a stenographic transcript without express consent of the other party. The final
written decision or award of the Arbitrator shall be made as soon as practicable after
submission of the grievance or dispute to him/her. The parties agree that such final decision
or award shall be binding on each of the parties to this Agreement, and they will comply within
five (5) days of the arbitration award subject to such decisions, rules or regulations as any
Provincial Agency having jurisdiction may impose. In no event shall the Arbitrator modify or
amend any provision of this Agreement. In determining any grievance arising out of discharge
or other discipline, the Arbitrator may dispose of the claim by affirming the Producer’s actions
and dismissing the grievance or by setting aside the disciplinary action involved with or
without compensation and such other manner as may in the opinion of the Arbitrator be
justified.
e) If either the Union or Company considers that this Agreement is being misunderstood,
misinterpreted or violated in any respect by the other party, the matter will be put in the form
of a policy grievance and discussed between representatives of the Company and the Union.
If not satisfactorily settled within thirty (30) days of the matter first coming to the attention of
the aggrieved party, either party may refer the matter to arbitration as a policy grievance in

considered resolved.

the job, shall be paid the minimum daily call.

2) Interfere with the use of any method or process adopted for the protection of any
Employee, including his/herself, in such employment or places of employment.

however, no Employee shall be discharged or otherwise disciplined for refusing to work on a
job that exposes the individual to clear and present danger to life or limb. No set of safety
regulations, however, can comprehensively cover all possible unsafe practices of working.

SCHEDULE D: CORPORATE GUARANTEE
NOTE: Corporate Guarantees are only accepted from eligible companies.
All others must post a Performance Bond per Article Thirteen.
In favour of
I.A.T.S.E. Local 411 Production Coordinators
Union: I.A.T.S.E Local 411 Production Coordinators
Guarantor:
Address for Service:
Producer:
Production:
Date:
Reference is made to the Collective Agreement dated May 1, 2018 as mutually amended or varied
from time to time made between Union and Producer regarding Production (the “Collective
Agreement”) and, in particular, the obligation of Producer to post a performance bond (the “bond”) with
Union pursuant to the Collective Agreement.
In consideration of the Union waiving the posting of the Bond by Producer (which is of material benefit
to Guarantor), and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
acknowledged by Guarantor, Guarantor covenants and agrees with Union as follows:
1. Guarantee
a) Guarantor, as a principal debtor and obligor, agrees to indemnify Union for the payment of any of
all past, present and future debts and entitlements (collectively, the “Obligations”) due or owing to
Union or its members from or by Producer in connection with the Production, including, without
limitation, all monetary obligations under the Collective Agreement and all reasonable outside
costs and expenses actually incurred by the Union to collect any outstanding Obligations or to
enforce this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be a continuing guarantee.
b) Guarantor acknowledges receipt of the Collective Agreement and consents to and approves of it.
Without affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder and without obtaining the consent of or giving
notice to Guarantor, Union and Producer may mutually vary or amend any terms and conditions of
the Collective Agreement. This Guarantee shall in no way affect the right of Union to pursue, in its
sole discretion, a grievance under the Collective Agreement against Producer in lieu or in addition
to seeking recourse and remedy against Guarantor.
c) Guarantor’s liability shall not in any way be affected by any act, omission, thing or circumstance,
which would or might, but for this provision, constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defence of
a surety. Guarantor hereby expressly waives all requirements, if any, of demand, presentment,
diligence, protest, notice of dishonour and notice of acceptance and other notices of every kind of
nature.
I.A.T.S.E. Local 411 Production Coordinators Collective Agreement May 1, 2018 April 30, 2021
27
2. Requirements to Pay
a) If at any time, payment of any amount guaranteed herein is in default for more than seven (7)
days, the Union shall be entitled to deliver to Guarantor a formal demand in writing outlining the
specific sum involved and particular of the default. Upon receipt of such demand, Guarantor will
forthwith pay to Union the sum set out in such notice. If there is any dispute as to the amount
owing by Producer, or whether any amount is owing at all, Guarantor will nevertheless pay the sum
set out in such notice to a mutually agreed upon third party escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) in
trust, and the Escrow Agent will hold such sum in trust in an interest bearing account. Immediately
upon such dispute being resolved, the Escrow Agent will pay the applicable amount to Union (if
any) and refund to Guarantor any sums determined to be in excess (if any) of what was owing to
Producer, along with accrued interest.
b) Union shall have the unilateral right to terminate this Agreement and revert back to the
requirements of Article Thirteen, a)9) of the Collective Agreement in respect of the Production if the
payment of any amount guaranteed herein pertaining to the Production is in default for more than
Seven (7) days after Guarantor has been served with the demand provided in paragraph 2(a)
above or in the event that Guarantor is unable to satisfy or comply with any of its obligations under
this Guarantee as determined by the Union, acting reasonably.
c) Guarantor shall be released from the guarantee given herein and all obligations resulting there
from in respect of the Production of the full payment of all amounts guaranteed herein pertaining to
the Production.
d) The termination of this Agreement by Union pursuant to paragraph 2(b) above shall in no way
annul, terminate or otherwise affect the obligations of the Guarantor with respect to any amounts
accruing prior to the date of such termination by Union, subject to paragraph 2(c) above.
e) If Union terminates this Agreement pursuant to paragraph 2(b) above, Producer shall, within forty-
eight (48) hours of receipt of written notice of such termination, post security in the form of a cash
