Operation of a Seniority Pool Sample Clauses

Operation of a Seniority Pool. An Employee who, at the time he is or otherwise would be laid off, has 2 or more years of plant continuous service shall be assigned to a job for which he is qualified in his seniority pool, if a job in his seniority pool is held by an Employee having less plant continuous service; provided, however, that Management shall not be required to assign him to any such job before the expiration of 30 days (or such shorter period as may have been heretofore agreed upon by the local parties) after the date of his layoff. In filling other than temporary vacancies in jobs in any seniority pool, Management will recall Employees laid off from the seniority units covered by the pool in the order of their plant continuous service; however, the Employee must be qualified to perform the job. Where practicable, however, Management will make a reasonable effort to assign, on the basis of plant continuous service, an Employee laid off from his seniority unit to a pool job he prefers which is not held by an Employee of that unit. However, Management shall have the right to the extent necessary, to designate the specific job in any pool to which an Employee shall be assigned (and to change such assignments) in order to provide jobs for longer service Employees who would otherwise be unable to qualify for an available job in the pool. In order to maintain efficiency, Management need not assign laid-off Employees to a job in any operating or service unit where such assignment would result in less than the required minimum of experienced Employees in such unit. The local parties may by agreement determine whether there are circumstances under which an Employee need not accept a pool job.
