It is recognized that the plant’s machinery and processes are continually becoming more complex and that for key positions requiring significant technical capability such as the Technician and Distillery Process Operator classifications the selection process will be undertaken in seniority order and will be for up to ten (10) days in duration for the Distillery Process Operator classification and for up to five (5) days for the Technician classification. An applicant may be required to successfully pass a pre-determined test as well as practical testing on job functions as part of the selection process. Thereafter, successful applicants will validate ability by undergoing a further evaluation pursuant to Clause 13 A (b). Testing requirements will be reviewed and discussed with the President or Vice President and the Area Representative. Should the requirements of the testing subsequently change, these changes will again be discussed with the appropriate union representatives and will be outlined in the job posting. Failure to follow this procedure will void the posting. Furthermore, at the request of the President or Area Representative, the company agrees to review and discuss the test results of an unsuccessful applicant. For less technical job classifications, “ability” will be determined by the senior applicant undergoing an evaluation process pursuant to Clause 13A (b). The Company recognizes the importance of maximizing job advancement opportunities for all its employees.

Designates will be obtained through a designated posting procedure as follows: To be eligible you must be in the Bottling Department in the General Help classification. Postings will be advertised for seventy-two (72) hours. Area Reps if authorized by an employee on vacation may make an application for the employee. Area Reps if authorized by an employee on Weekly Indemnity, Long Term Disability or Workplace Safety & Insurance may make application provided they have a return to work date within seven (7) calendar days of the posting’s expiration date. Selections will be awarded on the basis of seniority and the successful applicant(s) once qualified will be referred to as the senior “Designated” General Help employee(s). Where there are no applicants for the designate posting, the Company will assign the low seniority Bottling Dept. General Help employee not on a designate position. Designated employees not already qualified will be trained. If within 30 calendar days from commencing training an employee fails to perform in accordance with the Employer’s requirements, he/she shall be removed from the designated list. Training will be scheduled as soon as practicable following the closing of the notice. The Company will endeavour, in so far as may be practicable, to provide a trial period that is one continuous period. Eligible employees can only be designated in one classification. A Designated General Help Employee will maintain the rate or the classification for which he is a “Designate”. An employee will not be able to remove himself from his designate position, unless he was originally assigned to such designate position as the low seniority Bottling Department General Help employee, he has been in the designate position for at least twelve (12) months, and there is a regular full-time Bottling General Help employee with less seniority who is not assigned to any designate position. Employees who successfully bid out of the Bottling General Help designate classification will be removed from the designated position. Being a designate does not exempt you from being assigned a vacancy where there are no applicants (i.e. clause 13A (d)) or being placed on a temporary assignment or loan. The following are the designated positions with the maximum number of designated. The addition of designate positions to this list will be discussed and agreed upon by the parties.

Employee’s currently in other departments who are transferred to Bottling General Help are eligible to place their name on any of the active classification lists, only if they are fully qualified in that classification. The most senior employee will then be the designate.
