Employees currently occupying a Trade and Craft position are not eligible to apply for any other position unless specifically agreed to between the Company and the Union Negotiating/Grievance Committee. Employees absent due to illness or accident who are expected to return to work will be informed in writing of any vacancy posted during the absence.
