Bumping Rights on Job. Abolishment Notwithstanding the above paragraph and provided they have the required qualifications and required abilities, an employee whose position is abolished or eliminated shall have the right to bump any employee, including an employee in a higher paying classification, who has less seniority even if they bump an employee who is not the least senior employee in a classification. For the purposes of this clause, an employee’s position is abolished or eliminated if 70% of an employee’s work is no longer required to be done, and if there is no reasonable expectation that this work will have to be done in the future. The employee whose position is abolished will be given a ten day trial period in the position that they bump into. During or at the end of this trial period, they shall have the right to bump the least senior employee in any classification in which there is an employee with less seniority.
