Permanent Vacancies. (a) Where a permanent vacancy occurs in a classification within the bargaining unit or a new position within the bargaining unit is established by the Employer, (unless notified in writing by the Employer of its intent not to fill, or to postpone the filling, of such vacancy) such vacancy shall be posted for a period of seven (7) consecutive calendar days, excluding ‘recognized holidays’. Employees in the bargaining unit may make written application for such vacancy within the seven (7) day period referred to herein. Subsequent vacancies created by the filling of a posted vacancy are to be posted for five (5) consecutive calendar days. Job vacancies shall be posted on the designated bulletin board. (b) Employees shall be selected for job postings on the basis of their skill, ability, experience and qualifications. Where these factors are relatively equal amongst the employees considered, seniority shall govern, providing the senior applicant meets the minimum requirements of the position and can perform the work within an appropriate familiarization period. In the event no qualified applicant is found within the bargaining unit the Employer may recruit ‘external’ to the bargaining unit.
