4. If there are still no volunteers available, other trained employees who are scheduled on the shift in question will be asked in order of seniority.

5. If sufficient volunteers are still not available, volunteers are to be taken from other shifts. If more than one person who is scheduled on the other shifts volunteers, the senior person will be given the shift.

6. Volunteers who are scheduled to work on other machines grouped in the same line of progression as the job in question will be considered first.

This will apply to both the Bretting and the Dietz lines of progression.

* Item 6 applies to steps 4 and 5 of overtime selection.

2. For scheduling and stability purposes only, relief vacancies will come from the same shift during an eight-week cycle. Seniority and training will apply; however, if any vacancy cannot be filled using the above, then crew moves will be necessary. This policy does not contravene General Rules for Guidance 6(a) or seniority provisions of the Collective Agreement and the substance of same shall apply.

3. When a permanent position becomes available in the line of progression, the senior employee must move up or their seniority will be affected.

a) The Operator Line

b) The Packer Line

c) The Dietz Line

d) The Brettings

5. Eligibility for Postings will be based on overall department seniority.

7. Department employees may apply for Postings in any line of Division "B".

8. Postings will be open for seven (7) days only. Applicants must successfully complete a ninety (90) day probationary period.

9. There is an Operating line and Packing line within the department. Open positions are filled on the basis of department seniority. In the future, department postings will be through the Division "B" spare pool.

10. All spare pool employees will work as Packers or Operators.

- One entry position - Division B spare pool.

- Job openings will be filled by:

a) seniority

b) ability

c) rate of pay

11. For cutbacks of less than five days, Operator/Packer bumps to the next available position. If no position is available, they bump the junior person on the same shift.

- Cutbacks in any line will follow existing Division "B" agreements with the most junior person going back to the spare pool or the mill spareboard. "Last in first out."

12. An employee's position in a posted job shall be in order of acceptance date, subject to conditions outlined in Section B - Cutbacks.

13. Postings/move-ups in any line will follow existing Division B agreements.

14. All postings shall be recorded in employee's file.

15. All machine postings will be based on a line of progression with permanent vacancies being filled by moving up according to the machines seniority of the operators line and the packers line. New postings will be for junior or spare positions.

16. Machine openings will be posted if the position is required for more than six (6) months in a year.

17. Operators and Packers posted to a machine may be scheduled on other machines where they have been trained, on a temporary or emergency basis, on order to adequately operate the department. This will be kept to a minimum, and wherever possible, shall be within the same shift schedule.

Section B – Cutback Due to Reduced Requirements

1. A cutback at the entry line of Utility shall mean that the employee goes to the Spareboard, unless he/she is senior to a posted person within that line; department seniority will then be the governing factor.

2. In case of cutbacks in the Operating Line for five (5) shifts or more, the displaced operator(s) shall bump within their rate block first, and then into the next lower rate block into a position they can hold by virtue of training and seniority. For cutbacks in excess of fifteen working days, seniority will be the determining factor.

3. In case of cutbacks in the Operating Line for less than five (5) shifts, the displaced operator shall bump into the line of progression below the posted blocks, if an opening above that is unavailable. In this case, an opening is defined as a position filled by a non-posted operator in the same or lower rate block as the displaced operator.

E. Bretting Line of Progression

Standing Committee Meeting - October 21, 1988

1. The Bretting machines will constitute a separate line of progression within Division B.

2. Entry into this line of progression shall be through a departmental posting for 264 Junior Operator (five steps).

3. Employees will follow rates of pay for up and down moves within the line.

4. During a period of lay-off or cut-back in this line, employees will move down the line of progression until the employee can hold a job by virtue of his/her Bretting seniority. If this is not possible, the employee will re-enter Division B at the rate block at which the line branches off five steps. At this point, the employee is treated like any other laid off posted employee. This means bumping within the posted rate block or below, as per the Division B seniority agreement.

5. The units may run with one operator.

If too many people are off (due to holidays) on any one shift, some operators and packers may be disrupted in order to maintain runnability. Every attempt will be made to grant extra holidays whenever possible. However, long-term disability and absenteeism are the main governing factors concerning the granting of extra holidays.

2. Trading of shifts will be permitted provided the individuals trading have approval from their scheduled shift supervisors. Trading of shifts may only be approved provided that the individuals who are requesting the trade are scheduled on equal job rates.

3. Four shifting crews will be selected as dictated by seniority rights for the job at the time of scheduling. These crews will complete a full four-shift cycle (eight weeks) once scheduled. This procedure will repeat itself every eight weeks. Holiday relief for all four-shift schedule employees will be by seniority rights regardless of which shift the relief employee is on.

4. In any event, management reserves the right to disrupt continuous shift rotation in order to maintain runnability as deemed necessary.

5. When a machine goes from 3 shifts down to 2 shifts, the senior operators will follow his / her shift rotation and the second operator will take the other shift.
