Work Force. 18.1 Any vacancy or newly created position in a department will be posted in a conspicuous place in all departments where employees within the bargaining unit work. Such notice shall be posted for at least five (5) work days prior to filling such vacancy or newly created position. Whenever practicable, vacancies shall be filled from among the present employees in the department, giving first consideration to seniority and qualifications. If it becomes necessary in filling a vacancy to bypass an employee's seniority, reasons for said denial shall be given, in writing, to such employee. The Employer or its designee agrees to meet and confer with the Union over a reduction in classification prior to reducing the classification for a vacancy which has not been posted.
