Article XVII – Addition of the following Section: In recognition of the fact that the District Council’s strength in negotiations comes in large measure by its ability to supply highly skilled, responsible workers to employers, it shall be the duty of all members to render a fair days work in a workmanlike manner. Any member, who is terminated for cause three times within a twenty- four month period, from a position under a District Council collective bargaining agreement, shall be sub- ject to charges.
