DATE: August 27, 2008

TO: Ed Padgett
SUBJECT: Last & Final Written Warning

Ed, this Last and Final Written Warning is being issued in response to your continued pattern of unacceptable performance. This document outlines recent performance issues and clarifies future job expectations.

On 08/26/08. you failed to follow procedures, left your assigned work area for an unscheduled break.

On 08/21/08, you were assigned as a Press Operator on crew #11, you were responsible for hanging the Thursday F8 & F9 plates in the “Arts & Books” sections. You failed to hang these plates in the proper position on the plate cylinder. Part of the established SOP for hanging plates is to verify that the proper page numbers, date and position on the plate cylinder are in place. You failed to follow this procedure and instead you transposed these two page positions. This action resulted in additional downtime, delaying production and increasing waste for the press.

Although we have discussed with you the level of performance that is expected of you in your position, you have continued to demonstrate unsatisfactory performance, consistently failing to meet expectations. Within the last twelve months, you have been counseled on numerous matters concerning your poor performance such as:

07/24/08 – Failed to follow procedure, unauthorized departure from the work area/property for unscheduled break
