MANAGEMENT PREROGATIVES. All matters pertaining to the management of operations, including the type and kind of service to be rendered to the public and the equipment used, the maintenance of discipline and efficiency, the hire, promotion and transfer of employees, and their discharge or discipline for proper cause, are the prerogatives of VTA, subject to such limitations as are set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. It is mutually agreed that the regulations as set forth in VTA rule books and manuals, with such additions or alterations as are made by VTA from time to time, are necessary for efficient operations, and that willful infraction of these rules will constitute just cause for discharge or other disciplinary action. No rules at any time promulgated or enforced by VTA shall be valid if they violate any provisions elsewhere set forth in this Agreement. Any claim that VTA's exercise of any prerogatives of management or promulgation or enforcement of any rule violates any provisions of the Agreement may be made the subject of a grievance. Any new conditions pertaining to wages, hours or working conditions which may arise during the term of this Agreement and which are not covered or provided for by the terms of this Agreement should be subject to grievance procedure within 15 calendar days upon written request of the Union.
