The above process will be done on a trial basis for Christmas/New Year’s 2012 and will be reviewed in a labour/management meeting in 2013 to determine if it is to be made permanent or discontinued. Input will be received by the membership as well as management and the union. Line switches will be permitted in April and October of each year so that summer and Christmas schedules are not affected. Management will post a letter for requests for rotation in writing. Staff must put their request in writing by the posted date and only requests put in by that time will be looked at. Only the staff that are able to rotate who bid on the lettered lines will be able to rotate. Requests will be fulfilled only if enough people put in requests to rotate (if only one person wants to rotate then it will not take place) to start in October 2012. This process will be on a trial basis for a one (1) year period. It will then be reviewed in a labour/management meeting along with the Christmas sign up in 2013.
