If deemed necessary by either party, the COMPANY and the UNION will meet for the purpose of discussing and endeavouring to resolve any questions relating to the postings. The COMPANY will post such vacancies with the UNION and within 3 days of receiving the posting (Saturdays, Sundays and holidays excepted) the UNION will simultaneously post the vacancies amongst its members and to all Canadian Xxxxxxxxx Locals. The UNION shall supply the COMPANY with a list of all applicants as it receives them, by FAX where practical, but no later than 15 days from the date of posting. Such postings will remain current for a period of 105 days from date of posting. When posting for trades Foremen the COMPANY shall request no more than one T.Q. Service Group Foremen who apply will be given first consideration for COMPANY employment. The COMPANY shall not post for technical or educational qualifications that exceed requirements of the job. In recognition of the fact that work can move throughout the industry while creating no additional hours, all Local 514 applicants shall be interviewed in good faith prior to making any offer(s) of employment to any other applicant(s) and such interviews shall be conducted in a fair manner. Where a trades qualification is required by the COMPANY, the COMPANY shall only be required to interview Local 514 applicants who meet the minimum threshold qualifications and requirements. Where a Local 514 applicant does not possess a recognized trades qualification but has been employed by his/her COMPANY as a trades Xxxxxxx to supervise tradesmen in a recognized trade in the waterfront industry, they shall be deemed to possess the threshold qualifications for the purpose of obtaining an interview for the vacant position. It is agreed that where the applicants possess the qualifications and ability which are relatively equal, the Local 514 applicant(s) will be hired first. The COMPANY will consider all suitable candidates. Where the COMPANY uses aptitude tests or other tests as part of the selection process, the COMPANY agrees that the tests shall be designed and administered fairly and impartially. The COMPANY reserves to itself the right to make the final decision in any case.
