Unposted Positions. As it is not the Company’s intent to use unposted positions to circumvent Section D of this Article, the parties agree to the following approach to unposted positions. The Diversity Subcommittee will submit a quarterly list of qualified candidates from groups traditionally underrepresented in journalism to be considered for unposted bargaining unit positions (e.g. staff writer). Prior to finalizing the hiring of someone into a bargaining unit position that is not posted (e.g., opportunistic hires, new coverage areas, or other instances that would be identified to the Diversity Subcommittee), the Company shall notify the bargaining unit members of the Diversity Subcommittee of the position it is hiring for and confirm it has consulted the previously assembled list. The Company shall discuss that hiring process at a meeting of the Diversity Subcommittee if requested by the bargaining unit members of the Diversity Subcommittee.
