The President and the Unit Chair concerned will be supplied with a copy of the seniority lists. Seniority lists will be revised and posted January 31st of each year, and shall be open for correction for thirty (30) calendar days. For employees on layoff, vacation and employees covered in Article 3.1 and 4.2.4, the thirty (30) calendar days period shall begin on the date of their return to service. Employees who do not avail themselves of the privilege of correction within the time limit specified shall not be entitled to challenge their seniority date until the thirty (30) day period when the next seniority list is posted. A list reflecting any corrections will be posted by March 31st of each year. No change shall be made in an employee’s seniority date which has appeared on two (2) consecutive annual seniority lists, unless the seniority date appearing on such list was protested in writing within the thirty (30) calendar day period allowed for correctional purposes in the two (2) consecutive years.
Seniority Rules. A. Any new employee shall be on probation and may be discharged during the first ninety (90) calendar days of employment without recourse to grievance procedure. By mutual agreement between management and the union, the probation period can be extended up to 30 days. After 60 days, new employees will receive a review from management. Any grievance or matters other than competency or ability, which do not involve dismissal of an employee, shall be subject to grievance procedure. Seniority for each employee shall start after he/she has completed his/her trial period and will date back to the beginning of his/her current employment.
B. An employee's seniority is defined as his length of continuous service with the Employer consistent with the agreements contained within this document. It shall be applied as follows:
1. In the event that work becomes slack and the Employer deems it necessary to reduce the working force in any of the classifications, the employee with the least seniority in the classification shall be the first employee laid off. It is provided, however, that if such employee has worked with the Employer in another classification, he may, at his option, in lieu of layoff, exercise his seniority in said classification for the purpose of bumping the employee with the least seniority. In rehiring and recalling, the reverse of the above procedure shall be used.
2. For purposes of layoff and recall only, Shop Stewards or acting Shop Stewards shall have top seniority while acting in the capacity of Shop Stewards.
3. Employees who exercise their option to bump an employee in another classification because of seniority must be willing, competent and qualified to perform the work remaining to be done in the classification and willing to take the rate of pay of the classification to which they are assigned.
4. Employees retained or rehired because of seniority must be willing, competent and qualified to perform the work remaining to be done.
5. All Journeyman Tool and Die Makers, and all Journeyman Machine Repairmen, must be willing, competent, and qualified to do all work required of a Journeyman.
6. Current employees that were laid off prior to 2012 and rehired as of (ratification date), will have their time of service bridged with their previous time of employment, immediately after ratification of this agreement. This time bridged/seniority will only apply to the Article 9 of this Agreement.

The President and the Unit Chair concerned will be supplied with a copy of the seniority lists. Seniority lists will be revised and posted January 31st of each year, and shall be open for correction for thirty (30) calendar days. For Owner Operators on layoff, personal leave, and Owner Operators covered in Article 3.1 or on authorized leave of absence shall retain all their seniority rights and continue to accumulate seniority on their seniority list and their names shall be continued on such list, the thirty (30) calendar days period shall begin on the date of their return to service. Owner Operators who do not avail themselves of the privilege of correction within the time limit specified shall not be entitled to challenge their seniority date until the thirty (30) day period when the next seniority list is posted. A list reflecting any corrections will be posted by March 31st of each year. No change shall be made in an Owner Operator’s seniority date which has appeared on two (2) consecutive annual seniority lists, unless the seniority date appearing on such list was protested in writing within the thirty (30) calendar day period allowed for correctional purposes in the two (2) consecutive years.
b) When it is determined in accordance with Article 4.2.1 (a) that a seniority date is in error, such error will be corrected and, when so corrected, the agreed upon seniority date will be final. No change in the existing seniority date for an Owner Operator shall be made unless concurred with by the President and the Vice-President, Operations.
c) A new Owner Operator shall not be regarded as permanently contracted until completion of 400 hours of work.
