General Picks

The extent and method of picking jobs within a classification in a department will, if possible, be mutually arrived at between the Head of the department and the Union grievance representative of the employees in the group affected.

Extra List

When early runs are not available for all of the operators who had early runs in the old schedule, then those who cannot be given early runs on the new schedule shall be assigned to the extra list.

Night Duty

In making assignments to night duty, except where such assignments are rotated, those to be assigned will be the employees in the particular unit where night duty is required who have the lowest preference status and are familiar with and are qualified for the work which is to be done at night.

Overtime

Required overtime will be spread fairly among the employees qualified for the work to be done.

Picks

Employees picking off their tours, on vacation or on their day off, will participate on their own time.

Instruction Allowance II

Operators picking the extra board or vacation relief will be allowed to take one round trip on all depot routes which they have not previously driven at time and one half.

Instruction Allowance I

Operators picking routes which they have not previously driven will be allowed to take one round trip on the picked route at time and one half.

Swings

Operators on swings must report for the second parts of their runs not later than the time specified on the schedules.

Cross-Bidding

Cross-bidding on job vacancies within the collective bargaining unit will not be a matter of right where the vacancy is in a job classification carrying the same or a lower rate or progression rate as that occupied by the person seeking to bid into the job vacancy.

Picks

When a new run or work schedule is prepared, a copy thereof shall be given to the Union as soon as possible, and in no event less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date set forth on the schedule as the date on which it will be posted for pick.

Discontinued Line

When a line is discontinued, operators losing runs as a result thereof shall be placed on the extra list and arrangements made for a depot pick which shall commence not later than forty-eight (48) hours from the date of discontinuance of the line.

Picks of Runs

If during an interval between picks, a regular run becomes open, it shall be assigned to the extra operator who has highest preference status. He/she shall hold the run until the next line, depot or system pick.

Core Jobs II

All flat rate times assume that the bus is in position, parts are at the bus and any special tools and equipment are available.

Core Jobs I

Core jobs will be performed in accordance with the times which have already been established by the Work Procedure Review Team, excluding the sixteen (16) core jobs established without TWU participation which will be at “flat rate times.”

Instructions III
