EXTRABOARDS. The Company reserves the right to establish, maintain, alter, alleviate, or change extraboards at locations where the necessity of the service requires. Seniority choice will determine the operators who are assigned to the extraboards. The extraboard to which a new operator is assigned will be designated by the operator's seniority bid. Seasonal operators will rotate on the extraboard and will be eligible to bid on designated runs and hold-downs only. Part-time operators will rotate on a separate extraboard and will not rotate on the full-time extraboard. The order of assignment for extraboard work is full-time/seasonal extraboard operators, full-time/seasonal extraboard operators on their day off, full-time regular operators who have signed for work on the superboard (with hours to perform the work and who would not miss their regular run), part-time operators, pre-assigned regular operators, and rentals. Full-time extraboard operators who are available for service 12 days in a payroll period will receive a biweekly guarantee of $375.00. Available for service means that an operator must be promptly accessible by telephone or be present at the garage or terminal if directed by the Company. Holiday pay is in addition to the biweekly guarantee. When an extra operator transfers from one board to another after learning two routes of the board to which the operator transfers, the operator will be placed on the extraboard for work. Extra operators must qualify for all runs serviced by their extraboard within 30 days from the date assigned. An extra operator who fails to become qualified within such period will be removed from the board and must learn all routes. Extraboard operators entitled to an assignment over a route they have not learned may be removed from the board and required to ride the trip and learn the route. This provision will not apply to an operator at any away-from-home location. If business plans indicate a potential operator or equipment shortage, the Company may assign a regular operator, part-time operator, or rental bus ahead of available extraboard operators. This will permit the Company to assign regular operators to assignments that will allow them to work and return home to be available to pull their next scheduled run. It will also permit the Company to assign rentals or part-timers to assignments that will allow them to work and return home before their available period ends.

EXTRABOARDS. The Company reserves the right to establish, maintain, alter, eliminate, or change extraboards at locations where the necessity of the service requires. Senior- ity choice will determine the operators who are assigned to the extraboards. The extraboard to which a new operator is assigned will be designated by the operator’s seniority bid. Seasonal opera- tors will rotate on the extraboard and will be eligible to bid on designated runs and hold-downs only. Part-time operators will rotate on a separate extraboard and will not rotate on the full-time extraboard. The order of assignment for extraboard work is full- time/seasonal extraboard operators, regular operators who have declared a willingness to work extra, part-time operators, regular operators required to work extra, and rentals. Regular operators who have declared a willingness to work extra and regular opera- tors required to work extra include pre-assigned regular operators. Full-time extraboard operators who are available for service 12 days in a payroll period will receive a biweekly guarantee of 80 hours at the prevailing federal minimum wage rate. Available for service means that an operator must be promptly accessible by telephone or be present at the garage or terminal if directed by the Company.
