TRANSFERS AND VACANCIES. In the event an employee does not bid, but is selected to be transferred, he may accept or reject the transfer. If he accepts, his seniority is treated in the same manner as though he had bid. If he rejects the transfer, he shall not be restricted from future bids under similar conditions. In the event that an employee is moved to another Department by reason of a departmental merger or consolidation of work, this shall not be considered a transfer, and the seniority rights of the individual involved shall then be determined by negotiation between the Company and the Local Union.
