Bidding and Posting. (i) Upon final determination of the Bid Pool a posting will be generated outlining all routes and Owner Operators included in the Bid Pool. The seniority of the Owner Operators and specific route information will be detailed in the posting. (ii) The duration of the posting will be five (5) working days. (iii) All Owner Operators included in the Bid Pool will be required to submit a bid, in writing that clearly identifies their order of preference on every route in the Bid Pool. (iv) Upon completion of the bid process any remaining routes will be posted and filled in accordance with the Collective Agreement. (v) In the event of a facility reroute in Ontario, all affected Owner Operators will bid on new routes in order of seniority. (vi) Any owner operator whose route is abolished or who is bumped will bump a junior owner operator in, first the depot, then the branch, and then the province unless otherwise specified in this agreement. As an option to bumping as provided above, the Owner Operator may elect to hold seniority and bid on any vacancies that become available in the next nine (9) calendar months. (vii) The Union and the Company agree to ensure that all bidding and bumping is completed within five (5) calendar days of the new routes being posted. (viii) Further, new customers in an Owner Operator route area will be offered first to the Owner Operator within that area provided that the Owner Operator can fulfill the service standards required by the Company. (ix) If the reroute is required as a result of an Owner Operator taking on the new customer the below compensation formula will not apply. If the reroute results in a loss of revenue for an Owner Operator the Owner Operator will be given a one time compensation based on the revenue lost as follows: Pre re-route income per day minus post re-route income per day multiplied by thirty (30). Pre re-route income will be calculated from the T4-A for the previous year’s income divided by the number of workdays in the year. If the driver has been on the route for less than a full year, total income earned on route divided by the number of workdays on the route. Post-re-route will be calculated on the first thirty (30) days of revenue after re-route divided by thirty (30).
