Conditions for Bumping or Accepting Vacancies. The following shall govern bumping and accepting vacancies pursuant to the above: (1) In all cases except option d, the employee exercising an option is restricted to those positions within the same bargaining unit and the same employment condition. (2) In all cases of bumping, the employee exercising bumping rights must have greater seniority than the employee who is to be bumped. (3) An employee who does not have sufficient seniority to bump into a previously held class shall not forfeit the right to bump into the next previously held class in the same seniority unit. (4) When a vacancy exists more than fifty (50) miles away from the employee's work location in a class into which the employee has a right to bump, the employee must accept the vacancy prior to exercising the option to bump. (5) If more than one employee opts to fill a vacancy or bump another employee, the employee with the greater seniority shall have priority in exercising that option. (6) When two (2) or more employees in the same class (class option) and employment condition are being simultaneously laid off, the Union and the Appointing Authority may mutually agree to selection of layoff options among the affected employees.
