Common use of SENIORITY (Continued) Clause in Contracts

SENIORITY (Continued). 8.10 An employee who is or has been transferred from a position which is not part of the bargaining unit may be returned to the said bargaining unit by the Board and shall retain his/her full accumulated seniority. He/she may not, however, displace any employee as a result unless that employee is the most junior member of the bargaining unit. In such cases the provisions of Article 11.01, Job Posting, will not apply. It is understood that there will be no accumulation of seniority for services outside of the bargaining unit. 8.11 No employee shall be dismissed or have his/her hours reduced due to technological change. 8.12 Subject to Article 8.11, the Board may make adjustment in the number and assignment of its employees as a result of technological changes and may make any such changes which are necessary to maintain efficient operations and optimal service to the public. In recognition of the impact that any such major changes may have upon employees and the concern of the parties regarding employees who may be affected, the following will apply. a) The employer undertakes to advise the Union as far in advance as feasible of any such changes which the Board has decided to introduce which will result in significant and immediate changes in the employment status of employees. b) In providing such notice the Board shall advise the Union of the following information: i) the nature of the change; ii) the approximate date on which the employer proposes to effect the change; iii) the approximate number classification and location of employees likely to be affected; iv) the effects the change may be expected to have on the employees' employment status.
