Promotions. A. Employees who apply The method of promotion to fill vacancies is outlined in all of the agreements. When a vacancy occurs it is generally posted for a specified period of time, and all men who wish to be promoted to that job must bid for the vacancy. First preference is given to the man in the next lowest job classification in the department in which the vacancy occurs. If he bids for the job and if he has “ relatively the fitness and ability for the job” he is promoted to fill the vacancy. If he does not bid for the job or if the senior man is not qualified, the one with the next highest seniority who has applied for the promotion, and who has the necessary ability, will be promoted. Ability is determined by the company and the union committee under 3 agree­ ments. In 1 agreement the establishment of a special examining board, consisting of 2 union and 2 company representatives, is pro­ vided for when the company decides an employee is not qualified for a higher job. Presumably the company is the judge of ability in the other plants, although 9 agreements specifically provide that any disagreement regarding ability shall be submitted to the grievance machinery. Specific provision is made in 7 agreements for the promotion, regardless of seniority, of those with “ unusual ability” or those who have “ rendered meritorious service.” Under several agreements, employees who refuse a promotion when an opening occurs to which they are entitled by seniority do not lose seniority, but the person who accepts the promotion acquires greater seniority. As the basis for promotions within the lower-level group of jobs and from the lower-level to the higher-level jobs, 20 agreements use total accumulated time in their present research the company's service at the refinery (sometimes called company seniority, but more often called plant seniority) ; the remaining agreement (Humble) uses company-wide service with “ this or training project or associated * * * companies.” For transfers from one higher-level job to another within the department, depart­ mental seniority is the basis in 18 agreements, and classified seniority in 2. One agreement apparently uses company seniority for transfers to both higher- and lower-level jobs. The “ staffing” of a new plant, a new imit, or a new process, is taken care of u nder 6 agreements by conferences between the company and the union committee; if no agreement is reached the matter is handled as applicablea grievance. Five agreements provide that new unit jobs are bid for and filled like any other vacancy. The Wilshire agreement provides for the transfer of department seniority when employees are transferred from two specified departments to two newly organized departments. When any of the four departments are curtailed, shall be promoted employees may transfer to the other departments on the basis of classification senioritytheir department seniority and they may “ bump” any junior employees. A trial period on the new job after a promotion is provided in 12 agreements, provided 3 of which permit the employee has a “ reasonable time under actual and competent supervision to establish fitness and ability to penorm new duties.” The fourth allows a “ reasonable opportunity” to meet the skill, ability, experiencerequirements of the new job, and educational backgroundthe fifth gives him “ a fair trial.” A definite trial period is stipulated in 7 agreements— 30 days on the new job in 6 and 2 weeks in 1. All of the agreements make provision for a disqualified worker to return to his former job without loss of seniority and some provide aid in fitting himself for the next highest job, and others for transfer when there is a vacancy to a type of job for which he can qualify. The employee's University Personnel Record shall also be taken into consideration as one of requirement that the factors in evaluating an applicant for promotion. The selection herein shall be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedure. B.
