Apprenticeship Selection. The employer shall not hire apprentices from outside of the bargaining unit unless there are no internal applicants.
Apprenticeship Selection. In the revised language around the selection process for new apprentices a protocol is laid out to select internal applicants first and then look outside the organization. This arrangement works in our current situation, however, we have also committed to implement employment equity which may result in a recommendation from the Diversity and Community Access Committee which is contrary to the process laid out in the Apprenticeship Selection Protocol. With your concurrence below it is our intent to review the selection protocol which would allow us to incorporate the recommendations of the Diversity and Community Access Committee following receipt of their recommendations.
