APPENDIX A

Decisions of the Joint Industry Committee

The following decisions of the Joint Industry Committee were included as Appendix A to the Standard Agreement between NEii and the IUEC which expired on July 8, 2012. NEBA and the Union recognize these decisions as binding during the term of the present Agreement, except to the ex­tent any of these decisions are in conflict with changes made to Article IV or Article IV (A) during negotiations for the present Agreement.

1. Wiring of Car Stations

After due consideration of all the information that the Executive Board could gather, back as far as 1948, it was the decision of the Board that the Manu­facturers be permitted to do the internal wiring in the car stations to a terminal block within the car station.

\. 2. Pre-Drilled C>yerhead Beams

Decision arrived at was that Otis would refrain from drilling holes on the bottom flange of the eye beam used to support the deflector sheave as soon as it was possible to stop the production line.

3. Pre-Wiring of Controllers

On the protest registered over the pre-wiring of controllers, the employers agreed that the pre-wiring of

107

cross connections on controllers would be discontin­ued and in the future. auxiliary panels would go out without any leads for any wiring on them.

The employers further agreed that there would be no objection lo a local removing the winng, and re­placing it. until the situation is corrected.

4. Multi-Wire Cable

The ruling of the Board was that the use of multi wire cable has become prevalent throughout the Industry and they can find no objection to its use.

5. Key Hole Slots

A review of past decisions and precedent estab­lished the fact that it had been previously agreed that key hole slots provided in car and/or landing doors are not a violation of Article IV of the Standard Agreement.

Also, it is found that it had previously been agreed that holes provided in the factory for mounting of interlocks, safety edges. detectors and photocells, are not a violation of Article IV of the Standard Agree­ment.

When Door Closer arms, lazy arms, or relating arms are fastened to the doors by means of drilled and/or tapped holes on the door such drilling and tap­ping shall be done in the field by Elevator Construc­tors. In cases where doors are delivered to the job site, pre-drilled or tapped for such devices as referred to f n this paragraph, doors will not be installed until a satis-

108

factory settlement between the employer and the Union is made.

6. Escalators

It is agreed that the escalator truss or parts of truss maybe used as a shipping container for escalator components. such as tracks, sprockets. etc. Such components shall be secured within the truss with only sufficient fastenings to provide safe transit and shall not be permanently aligned.

It shall not be a requirement that tracks be re­moved from the truss prior to final alignment.

Connections between tl,e straight Inclined track system and the upper and lower end curved track sys­tems shall be made in the field by Elevator Constructors.

Upper and lower sprockets or carriages are to be installed in the field by Elevator Constructors. See Article IV, Par. 2, Item C for additional information.

7. Extended Wiring On Controllers

Controllers are not to be shipped from the fac­tory with extended wiring attached thereto.

In the case of escalator controllers. because of limited space available, extended wiring in the form of cables or separate wires may be connected at one end to the controller In the factory provided, however, that t1,e ot11er end of such extended wiring is not prepared ror connections.

109

8 Plug-in Connections Door Protection

Prepared plug-in connections for door protec­tion devices such as furnished on the photobell protec­tion device is not a violation of Article IV of the Stan­dard Agreement.

9. OMA Plug-in Connection

The plug connection presently being used on the OMA Regulating Unit will be discontinued. Factory Installed wires leading out of the regulator shall have the loose ends unprepared for field connection by the Elevator Constructor.

It is agreed that the employer will use up pres­ent stock of regulators equipped with plugs. However, any regulators installed on new jobs after July 1, 1964, will be prepared as described in the above paragraph.

1 O. Car Door Operators

Haughton Type 'T and 'TH' and Westinghouse Type 'E' and other similar car door operators shall have the external wiring to the motor and the door or gate contact installed in the field by Elevator Constructors.

11 . Wood Flooring

When wood flooring on elevator platforms, in­cluding stage lifts, organ consoles and orcl1estra ele­vators, is to be Installed in the field the worl< shall be done by Elevator Constructors.

110

12. Door Operators

(1) The pattern for the Industry. for shipping door operators would be based on the practice in exis­tence at the time of the Joint Industry Committee's de­cision of December 12. 1963.

(2) As a guide for present and future Joint In­dustry Committees, it was determined that the follow­ing Exhibits would be used to settle any future dispute relative to the shipping of door operators and would be construed as examples of the practice In existence in December 9-12, 1963.

Exhibit 'A' (Haughton ' T' Operator as per photo dated 12/13/67)

Operators may be shipped as per this Exhibit except all external wiring , all greenfield, all greenfield connectors and the gate switch shall be removed.

Exhibit · B' (Haughton 'TH' Two-speed Operator as per photo dated 12/13/67)

Exhibit ·c· (Haughton 'TH' Center-opening Op­era1or as per photo dated 12/13/67)

Operators may be shipped as per this Exhibit except al l external wiring , all greenfield, all greenfield connectors and the gate switch shall be removed.

111

Exh1b1t ·o· (Westinghouse 'E' Line Operator as per photo 500581A, dated 12113/67)

Operators may be shipped as per this Exhib11 except all external wiring, all greenfield, all greenfleld connectors and the magnetic locks shall be removed.

Exhibit 'E' (Dover Operator per photo dated 12/13/67)

Operators may be shipped as per this Exhibit except all external wiring. all greenfield, all greenfield connectors, the gale switch and the cams lo actuate the safety edges shall be re­moved.

13. Pre-Assembling of Machine to Machine Beams (Armor Elevator Co.}

It was agreed by the Joint Industry Committee that the Armor Elevator Company is in violation of Arti­cle IV, Par. 2, sub-item "g" of the Standard Agreement by the method of pre-assembling l11e macl1ine to the machine beams and the pre-drilling of the governor mounting plate.

14. Holes Drilled in the Factory for the Mounting of Sight Guards

shall not be considered a violation of Article IV of t11e Standard Agreement. The installation (and tap­ping if required), shall be done in t11e field by Elevator Constructors.

112

15. Type M Holstway Door Track Assembly (Haughton Elevator Company)

It was mutually agreed that the spirator would be removed and that the pre-drilling and tapping was covered by Decision # 1 of the Joint Industry Commit­tee dated December 12, 1963.

16. Pre-Fastening Booster or Blocking Beams to Machine Beams (General Elevator Company of Baltimore)

The Joint Industry Committee finds that Gen­eral Elevator of Baltimore method of pre-fastening booster or blocking beams, as established and shown on Exhibit 'A' entitled ''Standard Machine Beam Detail with Booster Beam" dated May 7. 1968 is not a viola­tion of Article IV.

17. Dover Leveling Switches

Dover Leveling Switches, as they are now con­structed. are not a violation of the Standard Agree­

ment.

18. Westinghouse and Otis Basement Machines

113

19. Top Emergency Exit Switches (Otis)

It was agreed that the switch could be removed in the field and remounted.

20. Otis Integral Hanger

That the primary function and responsibility of both the Union and the Industry is to assure a safe, re­liable and workmanl ike installation as regard door equipment. The employers agree that they cannot ob­ject to the dismantling of components if such becomes necessary to accomplish this.

(It continues:) There has been some question on interpretation of this clause, t11 erefore, it has been agreed that the application of this decision requi res that the Mechanic-in-charge use his discretion with re­gard to removal of the hanger bar to accomplish the stated objective. Management supervisors should not be critical or attempt to penalize the Mechanic for using such discretion but if he questions the decision, it should be adjusted between the Construction Man­ager and the Local Business Representative.

At the 1954 meeting of the International Execu­tive Board and the Manufacturers' Labor Committee, it was mutually agreed that:

The Executive Board believes that when Article IV, Par. 8, that states "NO restrictions shall be imposed as to methods, tools, or equipment used" was written in the Standard Agreement, neither party, at t11e time, had in mind lethal tools, therefore; we believe the

114

members of the International Union have a perfect right to refuse to use explosive powered tools.

21. Cargo Masters 500 lbs. up to 1000 lbs.

All door assembly units must be removed be­fore installation of car.

Pre-wiring of Cargo Master to be limited to door and ejector operation.

Ejector unit must be shipped separately.

The above conditions apply specifically to the Cargo Master with a capacity of 500 lbs. to 1000 lbs. as manufactured by Guilbert, Inc., and are not to be applied to the D/W provision of Article IV, Par. 3, Item 3, of the Standard Agreement.

22. Procedure For One Man Pressure Relief Valve Test

At a meeting of the National Arbitration Com­mittee held on Febrw:lry 8, 1984, at the Sheraton Bal Harbour, Bal Harbour. Florida, it was jointly agreed that pressure relief valve test work m~y be per1orme_d by one Mechanic so long as the following procedure 1s fo llowed:

Item 1. The elevator must be equipped with a quick release coupling to which a pressure gauge could be connected.

Item 2. Tl1e Elevator Constructor Mechanic is to be supplied with a temporary run button (the cable is

115

to be of a length which would permit the Elevator Con­structor to position himself outside of the machine room or the hoistway while performing the test).

Item 3. With the elevator at the top floor, doors closed, shut oft the main line disconnect.

Item 4. Disconnect one wire, which places the elevator on inspection. add one jumper on the direc­tional limit, one jumper on the final limit, and connect the temporary run button to the appropriate terminals.

Item 5. Connect the pressure gauge to the quick release coupling.

Item 6. Put in the main line disconnect and po­sition yourseH outside of the machine room and/or hoistway and using the temporary run button, run the elevator up against the stop ring until you observe (hear) the bypass valve open.

Item 7. After checking the pressure gauge the Mechanic is to open the bottom hoistway door and ob­serve the cylinder and pipe for possible damage or leakage.

Item 8. If damage has occurred rt will be re­paired in the normal manner using a repair crew.
