General Sign Up. The Company shall hold a general sign up in the months of June, September and either January or February of each year. At a time seven (7) days before a general sign up, the Company shall post all runs to be bid. Vacancies during this seven (7) day period shall be operated from the extra board. The actual bidding shall start on the eighth (8th) day after posting and shall continue each day thereafter, excluding Saturday, Sunday, and holidays, in the manner described below until the bidding is completed. A seniority list shall be posted showing the date and time each group of operators shall report to choose their run and days off. It shall be the responsibility of each operator to be present at the designated time he/she is to bid. In the event an operator is on sick leave, vacation, leave of absence, days off, or if an operator fails to bid in person or by proxy on the day he/she is designated to bid, a Union representative shall bid for the operator. If the Union representative and the employee are not present, he/she shall be passed up until the Union representative or the employee appears, at which time a bid must be made on any open run or go to the extra board. In the event an operator is working a run or an assignment at the time he/she is scheduled to bid, he/she shall be relieved, without loss of pay time, in order to bid. Operators who have been off work on an unpaid status for eighteen (18) consecutive months prior to the bid shall be ineligible to bid a regular run. Operators ineligible to bid shall be assigned to the extra board in seniority order upon their return to work until the next general bid. For all bids, the first day of bidding shall start at 6:00 a.m. at which time operators in top seniority shall bid choice of runs and days off; and so on down the seniority list. The bidding shall stop at 7:00 p.m. each day. On the second day, the bidding shall start at 6:00 a.m. with the next operator entitled to bid and the same procedure carried out. The bidding shall stop at 7:00 p.m. On the third day and each day thereafter, the bidding shall start at 7:00
General Sign Up. The RTA shall hold a general sign up one or more times each year. At a time seven (7) calendar days before a general sign up, the RTA shall make available to the Bus Operators all runs to be bid. An individual page for each posted run shall show the start time of the run, end time, pay time, posting date, run and route designations, schedule hours, days of the week and whether it is full-time or part-time run. The actual bidding shall start on the eighth (8th) day after posting and shall continue each day thereafter, excluding holidays, in the manner described below until the bidding is completed. A full-time employee seniority list and a part-time employee seniority list shall be posted showing the order in which operators shall choose their run. It shall be the responsibility of each operator to bid at the designated time he/she is to bid or to leave a proxy statement with the employee’s most desirable as the number one proxy and so on. The RTA-designated Bid Administrator shall ensure that each operator turn in a bid slip, dated and signed. The employee shall receive a copy of their bid slip upon completion of their bid. As explained in Section 5 of Article 16 Seniority, if other transit agencies consolidate with RTA, both a “Primary RTA Seniority” list and a “Secondary RTA Consolidation Seniority” list will be developed for the first year of consolidation. In addition, a separate set of full time and part time bids for the newly consolidated services will be posted seven (7) calendar days before bidding begins for the runs that are exclusively dedicated to the newly consolidated service. Only Bus Operators on the “Secondary RTA Consolidation Seniority” list may bid on runs in the newly consolidated services. If a newly consolidated run is vacated during a bid, employees on the “Secondary RTA Consolidation Seniority” list will have the first opportunity to fill the vacated run. The procedure may be changed by mutual agreement between the RTA and the Union.
