Bargaining Unit and Area Seniority Sample Clauses

The 'Bargaining Unit and Area Seniority' clause defines how seniority is determined and applied within a specific bargaining unit and, where relevant, within designated areas or departments. It typically outlines the criteria for calculating an employee's length of service, such as start date or continuous employment, and explains how this seniority affects rights like job bidding, promotions, or layoffs within the unit or area. This clause ensures a fair and transparent process for recognizing employee tenure, helping to resolve disputes over job opportunities and providing a clear framework for workforce management decisions.
Bargaining Unit and Area Seniority. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 1 of this Article XI, bargaining unit seniority shall be cumulative and shall be continuous from the date on which the employee enters the bargaining unit as shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 1 of this Article, area seniority shall be cumulative and shall be continuous from the date on which the employee enters any particular area by bidding or by assignment to a vacancy of more than ninety (90) days. In the event that two (2) or more employees have the same area seniority date, area seniority will be determined by bargaining unit seniority. (c) In the event an employee is permanently assigned to an area by reasons of (i) shutdown, (ii) reduction in force in an area, (iii) the return of an employee to that area after an absence in excess of ninety (90) days, or (iv) the application of Section 9 of this Article, he shall continue to be considered a part of the area from which he was so transferred until he has failed to accept a vacancy in the area from which he was so transferred. The last employee to enter an area shall be the first employee reduced from an area upon the termination of an authorized leave in the area. All other reductions from the area will be made by area seniority. (d) If an employee in any area elects to bid to another area of the Operating Department and is the successful bidder, upon his transfer, he shall then lose his accrued seniority in the area from which he bid. Should he fail to qualify in the area to which he transferred, he will be transferred to Operator Trainee position and will lose any seniority he has accrued in the area where he failed to qualify.
