between the City and the Union; to provide for equitable and peaceful adjustment
of differences which may arise and to establish fair and equitable standards of
wages, hours and other conditions of employment, and to continue the existing
harmonious relationship between the Fire Department and its permanent
employees, and to promote the morale, equal nghts, well-being and security of the
Fire Department's permanent employees.

Article 2 - BARGAINING UNIT AND EXCLUSIONS

The City hereby recognizes the International Association of Fire Fighters, Local
#789, as the sole bargaining agent and sole and exclusive representative of all
employees of the Nashua Fire Rescue Department, with the exception of the Chief,
the Assistant Chief, the Deputy Chiefs, general maintenance person, and other
civilian personnel for the purpose of bargaining with respect to wages, hours of
duty and working conditions. Employees in the bargaining unit who perform
office work are not included in these exceptions. This agreement shall apply to all
bargaining unit employees of the Fire Department as defined above, with the
exception that probationary employees in Article 16 may not use the grievance
procedure in cases of termination or discipline.

agreement or any extension thereof, all employees who are Union members on the
date of the execution of this agreement or who shall thereafter join the Union
during the term of this agreement shall remain members of the Union in good
standing as to payment of dues as a condition of continued employment by the
City, providing that the Union shall set a 15 consecutive day period during the term
of this agreement during which such members shall be able to withdraw their
membership in writing.

B. — Subject to all compliance with all applicable law, all new employees
employed during the term of this agreement shall within nine (9) months after their
