SENIORITY. SECTION 19.01 In promotions and layoffs, the principles of seniority will govern, qualifications considered. In any case of promotion, layoff, or reemployment, the Union Standing Committee shall be consulted by the management and be privileged to present recommendations which will be considered by the management prior to the decision by the management. In cases where time does not permit such prior consultation, the management shall take temporary action only, until recommendations of the Union Standing Committee can be obtained. Management shall give the Union Standing Committee written notice in each instance in which it, without the agreement of the Union Standing Committee, decides to and does promote, layoff or reemploy, out of seniority, on the grounds that a senior employee is not qualified. The Local Union may pursue a complaint as the management's evaluation of qualifications provided that within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice of management's decision, Local Union gives written notice to management that it desires consideration of the complaint by the Mill Manager and the Local Union concerned. If a satisfactory settlement is not reached at that level, the Union may carry the issue through all further steps in the manner and under the provisions of the Agreement covering adjustment of complaints. 19.02 The following seniority program shall be applied: 19.03 When a temporary layoff of jobs occurs that lasts less than seven (7) work days or is expected to last less than seven (7) work days, the regular employees scheduled to the curtailed jobs will be allowed to use their seniority to replace junior employees on the same shift provided they are qualified to perform the work. The rescheduling of employees will be arranged as soon as practical without loss of efficiency to the operation but no later than three days (3) following the curtailment. In addition, if the layoff is anticipated to last or lasts more than seven (7) days, curtailed employees will be scheduled for jobs they are qualified to perform using their mill seniority at the next usual time for scheduling the week's work. A new work schedule for the work week beginning on Monday at 7:30 A.M. will be created if the curtailment occurs or is announced prior to Friday at noon. Where practical, affected employees will be offered training/(re-) certification opportunities for their current or future responsibilities prior to being laid off. If there is a vacancy in a department, other than vacations, for longer than fourteen (14) calendar days, based on seniority, the senior qualified employee will have the opportunity to follow the shift on a senior move. 19.04 When a permanent layoff of regular jobs occurs the following curtailment procedures will apply: 19.05 If the curtailment is in the Paper Mill, employees whose jobs are to be curtailed may use their progression seniority to displace the junior employee in order of jobs previously held within the progression ladder. Employees who do not have enough seniority to stay in the progression ladder will use their Paper Mill seniority to bump the junior employees from the Paper Mill bid positions. Employees who do not have enough seniority to stay in the Paper Mill will bump the junior Labor Pool employees. Employees who are displaced from the Paper Mill may displace the junior employees on the combined Mill Labor Pool. While on the Labor Pool, Paper Mill employees will use their total mill service for non-bid purposes. For bid purposes in the Paper Mill their Paper Mill seniority plus combined mill labor pool seniority will be used. For bid purposes in the Pulp Mill only their combined Mill Labor Pool seniority will be used. 19.06 Employees reduced from a Department may use their Mill seniority to bump standalone jobs if they are immediately capable of performing the jobs or junior employees in other department Labor Pools. Regular employees who are permanently curtailed will retain the right to bid on any posted vacancy. Further, those permanently curtailed employees will retain the right to the next entry level job in the department they were curtailed from, based on their department seniority and qualifications. The rights of this paragraph will terminate upon the acceptance of any other bid job or twelve (12) months if curtailment resulted in layoff. 19.07 Employees who use their seniority to bump other employees must have the qualifications to learn and perform the work before they will be allowed to bump. If the efficiency of the mill would not be affected, employees may be allowed to choose not to exercise their seniority bumping rights and choose to be laid off instead of laying off a junior employee. 19.08 Any employee who is laid off must keep the Company and the Union advised of their whereabouts. Any employee shall have a reasonable time to report for work after a layoff, having been notified to do so, failing to report, they shall lose all seniority privileges. 19.09 Should an employee elect to transfer from one department to another, the employee will in practically all cases, start in the new department at the lowest paid job in the respective Labor Pool. Promotion within the department will be, as far as practicable, by hourly rate. An employee electing to transfer from one department to another or to accept a promotion shall retain seniority rights to their previous job for a period of up to thirty (30) working days after certification. Promotion or transfer will be approved or disapproved by Management within thirty (30) working days. The thirty (30) working days can be extended by mutual consent of the Local Union and the Company for up to an additional thirty (30) working days. Seniority rights of all employees affected by the transfer or promotion in question shall be protected for an additional period up to thirty (30) working days. 19.10 When a vacancy occurs in an entry level position of any department, (except the jobs designated with an "*" on the wage rate schedule) notices will be posted on designated bulletin boards, giving employees seven (7) calendar days to make application in writing for such a job. A job bid will be posted within two weeks following the decision to fill an entry-level vacancy. In situations where the job is designated and announced as temporary for less than 6 months, the job may be filled by assignment. If the temporary situation extends past 6 months the Union and the Company will meet to decide the best method of filling the job. 1.
