Common use of Warehouse and Distribution Section Clause in Contracts

Warehouse and Distribution Section. For promotion from one job classification within an Office of School Food and Nutrition Services district to a higher job classification within the same Office of School Food and Nutrition Services district the employee in the next lower title with the greatest seniority in the Office of School Food and Nutrition Services district among the employees at the work location, shall be selected. An employee who is promoted to a higher job classification within the bargaining unit will earn seniority in the higher classification starting with the effective date of such promotion. If, within six months following such promotion, the employee is returned to a position in the classification from which he/she was promoted, he/she will regain the seniority he/she had acquired in the lower job classification up to the effective date of his/her promotion. For involuntary reassignment from one work location to another, the employee with the least seniority in the Office of School Food and Nutrition Services district at the work location from which reassignment is made shall be selected. A per annum or per monthly employee who has been involuntarily reassigned on or after July 1, 1968, from one work location to another shall suffer no loss of seniority. For changes of regular assignment or changes of regular work schedules (number of hours of work) within a work location, the employee selected shall be the one with the greatest seniority in the Office of School Food and Nutrition Services district if the change is voluntary or the one with the least seniority in the Office of School Food and Nutrition Services district if the change is involuntary. Normal variation of duties within a regular assignment or temporary changes in assignment made to meet emergencies are not to be considered "changes of regular assignment" under this policy.
