Common use of Master Volunteer List Clause in Contracts

Master Volunteer List. (a) All drivers who wish to be placed on the master volunteer list for "off-day work" for a complete board period must sign the volunteer list during the board sign up period. Drivers may declare to only be assigned work on a specific off-day or both of their off days or before or after their scheduled run assignment. Vacation swing drivers may identify specific off day availability for each week of the board period. (b) From the forms received by the deadline, a master full time driver list will be compiled in order of classification seniority. This master volunteer list will be posted on the Thursday afternoon prior to the start of the board period. (c) A driver who wishes to temporarily remove his availability for volunteer extra work must notify the dispatch no later than two days in advance of the affected date. If such notification is not provided, his name will be removed from the respective list for a period of 7 (seven) days. On the third occasion that driver removes their availability or has been removed from the list during the board period (regardless) of notification lead time), that driver’s name shall be removed from the master list for the remainder of the board period. (d) When such drivers receive a volunteer extra work assignment, their names shall be moved to the bottom of their respective list, in order of their previous sequence for that day. (e) During the board period drivers who temporarily lose their voluntary overtime rights shall be placed at the bottom of the master volunteer list. (f) A driver may request a Supervisor to remove his name from the master lists at any time, but no additions to the lists will be allowed until the next board period. (g) When it is occasionally necessary to require that special driving duties be performed by designated drivers, this matter will be arranged through consultation and agreement between the Union and the Employer, and such assignments will normally be limited to drivers already scheduled to work on the applicable date(s). The Union and the Employer agree that in the event of an emergency the Employer has the right to select any employee who is available to perform overtime or extra work for the purpose of providing continuity of service. Where practical, the Union will be advised.
