Bus and Rail Station Clerks. If any Station Clerk position is discontinued, the employee holding that position may replace another Station Clerk at any location, provided that he or she has greater company seniority than the employee being replaced. A Station Clerk who, due to lack of company seniority, is unable to hold a Station Clerk position may return to their previous status of a bus or train operator provided that they are qualified to perform the duties of a bus or train operator. A displaced bus or rail Station Clerk, who is currently employed, shall have the right of recall (without time limits as specified in Section 10-17.1) to the next open Station Clerk position. If the displaced Station Clerk declines the next open Station Clerk position, then he or she will forfeit any recall rights they have under this section. A bus or train operator who is also a qualified extra station clerk and who is laid off from any station and transferred to another station under the circumstances set forth in Paragraph 10-7.3(a) may, in the event of a vacancy occurring for a regular station clerk, return to his of her former station and fill such vacancy, provided (i) his or her Departmental seniority is greater than Departmental seniority of any other qualified extra station clerk then employed at such station, (ii) he or she has continued on the extra station clerk list at the station to which he or she was transferred and (iii) he or she has not forfeited his or her opportunity to return to fill a vacancy for bus or train operator at his or her former station.
