Substitute Drivers. A "substitute driver" shall be defined as a driver in the unit not assigned to a regular route. Drivers not assigned to a regular route and who do not sign up for designated routes will not be assigned to substitute those designated routes. If no driver on the substitute list is available, and then drivers will be assigned as in G.1 below. The Employer will diligently recruit and make every effort to maintain a substitute list of at least five (5) substitutes at all times. After the Employer has attempted to contact a substitute five (5) times and the substitute has refused or been unavailable for contact, then the Employer will drop that employee from the substitute list until the employee meets with the Employer. If the Employer does not hear from that employee within two (2) weeks of the last time the substitute was contacted, then the substitute will be dropped from all lists and any seniority will be terminated. The exceptions to this are legitimate refusals due to illness, emergencies or granted leaves of absence. If a substitute driver is unavailable because of a legitimate reason, he/she shall inform the transportation supervisor.
