Acting Crew Chief. In the absence of a regularly assigned Crew Chief or while in the process of filling an existing or newly created Crew Chief position, an Acting Crew Chief may be appointed to fill the vacancy from within the work unit/shop for a period not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days. In the event a Crew Chief is not available, the appointment will be proffered to the senior pre-qualified employee regularly assigned to that work unit/shop/dock. The Company may provide lists in each of its work unit/shop/dock at each station on which employees regularly assigned to that work unit/shop/dock may volunteer to be considered for the filling of Acting Crew Chief vacancies under this paragraph. The Company will periodically administer qualifying tests for the positions involved to the employees who have signed these lists and will maintain lists comprised of those employees who indicate a desire for pre-qualification and successfully complete the test. Employees who have successfully passed these qualifying tests will, if they are regularly assigned to that work unit/shop/dock, be assigned in order of their Occupational Seniority to fill acting vacancies. Additionally, an employee who has expressed a desire but has not been provided an opportunity to take the qualifications test since the date he transferred into the work unit/shop/dock will be considered to fill acting vacancies in accordance with his seniority, until he is provided an opportunity to test. An employee who refuses acting assignments three (3) times within a calendar year, will be removed from the pre-qualified list for a period of six (6) months.
