No less than once each year, each shift (including days off) within each section of the Water Supply and Treatment Division (▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Water Treatment Plant, Sunol Water Treatment Plant and the Millbrae Corporation Yard) shall be open to bid. This provision shall not preclude the scheduling of additional shift bidding periods within particular bid units upon mutual agreement of Management and the Union. The annual shift bidding period required herein shall be integrated with transfer bidding in order to effect transfers and shift selections in a single integrated process at least once annually. Each location may have up to two shifts which shall be: Shift 1, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Shift 2, 3:30 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. or 4:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The work week for both shifts at Water Supply and Treatment Division shall be Monday through Friday. B. Employees eligible to bid shall include all employees in the Water Supply and Treatment Division in class 7318, Electronic Maintenance Technician. C. At the time set by Management for the annual shift bidding period, the supervisor of each unit shall post for one (1) week shifts, and the number of employees in each classification to full such shifts, so that full-time employees described in paragraph B. above may submit their choices of shifts. Eligible employees who fail to submit timely bids, shall be assigned in the sole discretion of Management. D. Assignments shall become effective two weeks after the end of the posting period (or at the nearest commencement thereto of the next pay period) and shall be awarded in accordance with Water Supply and Treatment Division seniority in class above, except that Management may deny or delay bids that effect special projects or which require special skills or specific experience related to a specific job. E. Management shall retain the right between posting period to change an employee’s shift temporarily for training purposes or on account of unexpected operational demands. This period shall not exceed an aggregate of six (6) months for new hires and 120 days for existing 7318’s transferring in to the Water Supply and Treatment Division from other Public Utilities Commission Divisions or other Departments, provided the 120-day exclusion can be extended in the event the employee has yet to demonstrate the ability to satisfactorily perform duties. In the case of changed operational demands requiring permanent shift changes, Management shall attempt to meet its requirements to change employee’s shifts, first, through solicitation of volunteers, thereafter, by assignment by inverse seniority in the event insufficient voluntary shift changes are made to meet operational demands. Any person whose shift is changed involuntarily shall not be subject to the twenty-four (24) month exclusion rule contained in the transfer procedures notwithstanding that such employee may have been effected a successful transfer bid within twenty-four (24) months preceding an involuntary shift change pursuant to this provision.
