b. send to the Secretary of the Union, on a weekly basis, a list of all vacancies which might exist at that time.
c. For Food Services and Custodial section, Regular Ongoing vacancies will be posted twice per year, and Regular Recurring vacancies will be posted once per year. In the Custodial section, Regular Ongoing vacancies will normally be posted in June and November, and Regular Recurring vacancies will normally be posted in January. In Food Services, Regular Ongoing vacancies will normally be posted in May and November, and Regular Recurring vacancies will normally be posted in May. It is understood that some vacancies may be posted at other times through the year as the need arises. Postings that are not expected to be filled internally may be posted concurrently however the University agrees to review any internal applicants prior to reviewing any external applicants. Any concurrent job posting will apply only to Food Services and Custodial positions.

(i) Food Services employees will submit a written expression of interest indicating that they wish to change their shift and/ or worksite.
(ii) Vacancies will be offered within classification to the most senior qualified applicant. After the vacant assignment has been filled and prior to any position being posted bargaining unit wide, employees who had submitted a written expression of interest as per (i) above will be offered available backfill assignments, within their assigned working group (either student village facilities or other than student village facilities), and within classification, to the most senior qualified employee.
