Common use of Section 7.9.4 Clause in Contracts

Section 7.9.4. 30 Routes, including those scheduled for summer months, shall be bid in the following manner: 32 1. Drivers who have received the proper notification, and who fail to attend or exercise 33 bidding rights, forfeit such bidding rights, provided, however, that proxy may be 34 utilized. 36 2. Bidding shall be by seniority with the most senior drivers selecting their choice of 37 routes and runs up to forty (40) hours per week. 39 3. The District Transportation Supervisor retains the right to assign drivers to routes/runs 40 under unusual circumstances on a case-by-case basis, subject to consultation with the 41 Association. Any such assignment that violates the seniority bidding procedure 42 requires, upon request, a written explanation to the affected driver(s) and the 43 Association. 45 4. All routes, excluding extracurricular, shall be totaled to establish an average at the end 46 of the day. 1 5. In order to bid for an extra route (activity, midday, work experience and any other route 2 that is not packaged), a driver must bid for and drive a packaged route. This 3 requirement is continuing. However, a driver may choose to bid for and drive extra 4 routes to total no less than four (4) hours per day (average basis) without being 5 obligated to bid a route package.
