APPENDIX – A
Section 1. Maintenance and Repair Work.
It is agreed that the jurisdiction of ILA mechanics or whichever craft historically has this jurisdiction shall cover the maintenance
and repair of equipment (which term includes containers and chassis) and such equipment as its members have historically maintained
and which is owned, controlled, operated, or interchanged by USMX members and/or owned, financed or organizations with which
USMX members are associated with (eg. OCEMA) including, but not limited to (a) container cranes, (b) container handling equipment
and (c) container cranes (d) Rubber Tire Gantry Cranes, (e) Straddle Carriers, (f) Yard Hustlers, (g) Top Loaders, (h) empty
handlers, (i) stick cranes, (j) fork lifts, (k) terminal vehicles, (l) pay loaders, (m) snow removal equipment, (n) sweepers, (o) bomb
carts/trailer trains equipment which are acquired for all deep-sea terminal and or off pier facilities; tire work shall be maintained
and repaired by ILA mechanics. The ILA’s jurisdiction remains in effect at waterfront container facilities and/or off-pier premises
used for servicing and repair of equipment covered by this Master Contract in accordance with the Containerization Agreement.
Further, all said equipment, be it owned, leased or controlled by USMX members and/or signatories to the Master Contact, etc., once it
is presented at waterfront facilities, shall be covered by this Master Contract. Furthermore, it is recognized that the marine terminal
work of all ILA crafts has been traditionally performed on piers and waterfront facilities. When such marine terminal work is moved off
the marine terminal by the terminal operator or by a signatory carrier to an offsite facility the ILA shall retain its work jurisdiction, where
the work is the work that would have been performed in the marine terminal or port area in accordance with the terms and conditions
of Article VII, Section 8, “Marine Terminal Work”.
All general maintenance and repair work performed under initial equipment warranties and guarantees’ shall require a
minimum of 2 ILA mechanics being trained, or whatever manning is required to maintain the full complement of equipment
involved. A copy of all warranty / guarantee documentation will be furnished to the local ILA union with that jurisdiction and
repair equipment and manuals shall be provided by the management.
Any and all equipment used to diagnose, monitor, track, and or repair, any equipment
used in operational support of Marine terminal work, shall be operated and repaired by
the ILA. All necessary training to preform these duties shall be provided by
management.
Section 2. Major Damaged Equipment.
Damaged equipment must be repaired in the port where the damage is discovered. Thereafter, it shall also report the time, place and
nature of the repairs performed by ILA labor in that respective ILA port. Such notification shall be subject to the audit procedures.
In fulfilling the above objectives, it is agreed that:

No damaged equipment shall be loaded aboard ship for export
No employer or carrier shall permit damaged equipment to leave the compound except under the procedures provided herein.
The employers and carriers shall not enter into any leasing agreement that circumvents the work jurisdiction of the ILA covered under
this Master Contract.
There will be a minimum of one (1) TIR employee per lane. Any changes to the manner in which the TIR inspections are
performed, either by written form, computer, scanner, or other methodology, will be discussed with the Union prior to
implementation. No such changes will be implemented without the mutual consent of the parties.
T.I.R. inspections must be performed in every instance where an intermodal container and/or chassis are entering or
leaving a Port, and or, off pier facility. All owner operated equipment, with the exception of Tractor Trailer/Truck, must be
inspected to insure roadworthiness before a USMX signatory box/Container is mounted. If driver refuses the required
inspection, for purposes of public safety, then the ILA shall refuse to mount a container(s).
A mandatory roadability T.I.R. inspection must be performed on every inport move leaving a terminal or related facility.
Any unit presented at a Marine terminal, and or, an ILA off pier facility, requires an ILA TIR inspection. Any damage
identified must be repaired by an ILA facility
All FHWA inspections will be performed by I.L.A. mechanics in complete conformance with Federal law and regulations.
In order to perform a proper inspection, the container and/or box should be off the chassis.
“Sale boxes or Sale Containers/Chassis” must be repaired, and prefixes and numbers must be removed before being
terminated and/or sold.
ILA shall retain work jurisdiction on all equipment associated with the movement of signatories’ equipment by rail or other
transportation methods.
All work deemed dangerous by the ILA Safety Department shall have a minimum of 2 ILA mechanics working together at
all time, or whatever manning is negotiated at the local level, with the concurrence of the Safety Department, or whichever
is greater.
All steam cleaning on said equipment shall be performed by ILA mechanics.
