Heading: The Scope Clause (Article 2(B))

Text: 7 Article 2(B) of the CBA defines the scope of the work to be performed by IAM-represented employees: 8 The Company agrees that the following described work, wherever performed, is recognized as coming within the jurisdiction of the [IAM], and is covered by this Agreement: ... all work involved in dismantling, overhauling, repairing, fabricating, assembling, welding, and erecting all parts of airplanes, airplane engines, avionics equipment, electrical system, heating system, hydraulic system, and machine tool work in connection therewith.... 9 ..... 10 The duties of aircraft cleaning, lavatory servicing, potable water servicing, receipt and dispatch, ancillary duties associated with receipt and dispatch, and operation of ground power units may be performed by employees covered by this Agreement and/or other employees and vendors as described in Article 4 paragraphs J and N at those locations/shifts where such covered employees are not staffed. Aircraft towing may b performed by employees not covered by this Agreement at those locations/shifts where such covered employees are not staffed. It is not the intent of this paragraph to have non-Mechanical and Related employees perform such work on shifts where covered employees are staffed except as provided for elsewhere in this agreement. It is the Company's intent, however, to utilize all its equipment and facilities in performing work in its own organization. In the event that a situation should develop whereby the equipment and facility limitations are not available or sufficient to perform such work, the Company will confer with the Union in an effort to reach an understanding with respect to how the problem is to be resolved. Receipt and dispatch, including the ancillary duties associated with receipt and dispatch, of Commuter Aircraft may be accomplished by employees not covered by the mechanic and related agreement. 11 JA 170; Appellees br. at 7. 2 The parties do not dispute that the scope language encompasses airframe heavy maintenance (HMV) work, which is the type of work an S-Check requires. 12 There are two addenda to the CBA: (1) the Letter of Clarification (the First Clarification); and (2) Clarification of Article 2(B) (the Second Clarification). 13
