SECTION 2. It shall not be a violation of this Agreement and it shall not be cause for discharge or disciplinary action if any employee refuses to perform any service which his/her Employer undertakes to perform as an ally of an Employer or person whose employees are on strike, and which service, but for such strikes, would be performed by the employees of the Employer or person on strike.

SECTION 3. The Union agrees that its members will obey a request of a supervisor where such request has direct connection with the work of the Company and will follow operating and safety rules, and that though an appeal may be made to the grievance procedure in regard to such supervisors request concerning operating and safety rules, such an appeal shall not operate to stay compliance with the request and rules, unless it involves work which is unusual and extremely hazardous.
