Product Zone Transfers. Seniority associates, who have reached the required level of performance within their current classification, are eligible to bid and be considered for a product zone transfer. The transfer process allows associates to request and bid on transfers to different jobs, shifts or product zones within their respective classification. When positions become available, transfer opportunities will be posted as per 12.01 and applicants will be awarded transfer requests based upon seniority. The Company has the right to maintain a balance of experienced associates within the product zone to ensure the operation of that product zone not be unreasonably restricted due to the transfer of associates within the same classification between product zones and shifts. During any product launch, the parties agree that transfers between product zones will not be made available until three (3) months following the start of production (SOP).
