Seniority Recognition. A. Transfers – Transfers within the unit, including transfers from one facility to another and working hours shall normally be covered by classification seniority and job qualifications. The opportunity to transfer shall be offered to employees in seniority order, commencing with the most senior to the least senior employee. In the event that no employee volunteers to transfer, the position or positions may be filled by assigning the lowest person on the classification seniority list with necessary job qualifications. Exceptions to this seniority process may be made in those instances where it is mutually determined to be in the best interest of both the employer and the employee, failure to observe the procedures outlined above, in cases where it is not mutually agreed upon, or any other arbitrary transfers shall be grievable, under the grievance procedures set forth in the agreement. Positions to be filled by transfers will be advertised (internal) for a minimum of ten working days.
