1.03 The Employer shall provide the Union with a list containing the current names, social insurance numbers, classifications and rates of pay of all bargaining unit employees, whenever a written request to do so is received from the Union. The Union agrees that it will not make such request more often than once in a calendar year.
1.04 The parties recognize that employees of the Employer in supervisory positions, or above the rank of Supervisor, may (when the situation so requires) help employees covered by this collective agreement in order to maintain the quality of service to customers, and in this case may also perform work currently done by current employees of the bargaining unit. Such work must not, however, cause the elimination of any position now covered in the collective agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an employee of the Employer working in a position not covered by the collective agreement, may continue work presently being performed but shall not assume additional duties if this would cause the elimination of a position now covered in the collective agreement.

Transfer and Seniority Outside the Bargaining Unit (a) It is understood that an employee shall not be transferred by the Hospital to a position outside the bargaining unit without his consent except in the case of temporary assignments not exceeding six (6) months. Such employees on temporary assignments shall remain members of the bargaining unit.
(b) An employee who is transferred to a position outside the bargaining unit shall not, subject to (c) below, accumulate seniority. In the event the employee is returned by the Hospital to a position in the bargaining unit within twenty-four (24) months of the transfer he or she shall be credited with the seniority held at the time of transfer and resume accumulation from the date of his or her return to the bargaining unit. An employee not returned to the bargaining unit within 24 months shall forfeit bargaining unit seniority.
(c) In the event an employee transferred out of the bargaining unit under (b) above is returned to the bargaining unit within a period of six (6) calendar months, he shall accumulate seniority during the period of time outside the bargaining unit."
