will be considered as Q grievance,
 It is the intent of the Company to set piecework rates in the manu- facturing Department so that an eX. perlenced normal ernploye working normally on such rates under normal conditions will have an earnings opportunity of from l2bTO to lS6% of the base rate of the Job. If it can be demonstrated that the opportunity to earn l256 of the base rate is not present, the timing will be adjusted after study. A
 Piecework employees are guarafl- teed ct least the guaranteed rate for their job. Except under conditions beyond the control of the individual, the requirement. to pay the glaraTa- teed rate under normal operating conditions indicates poor operation.
 An hourly paid employe will be paid an hourly rate in the Labor Grade in which his or her job falls.
 Approximately A persons now paid an hourly rate over the maxi mum of their Labor Grade shall re- ceive only such part of the general increase as will keep their pay at the maximum of the Labor Grade, except that no hourly paid person will receive less than three (S) cents per hour increase.
