(A) Seniority for employees governed by this Agreement shall be defined as the period of employment with the Employer in the work covered by this Agreement, at the terminal (or terminals) within the jurisdiction of the Local Union. It shall be deemed to include any seniority presently held by an employee through agreement between the Employer and the Local Union prior to this Agreement. (B) A probationary employee is a new employee hired to work at a new terminal under the provisions of this Agreement for a thirty‌‌ (30) days worked probationary period, within which time such employee may be dismissed without protest by the Union. Such dis- missal must be in writing by the Employer with a copy sent to the Local Union. A probationary employee who has been dismissed (disqualified) may not be employed, under this Agreement, by the same Employer for a period of six (6) months. Failure on the part of the Employer to comply with this restriction and such employee works one (1) day within the six (6) month period, that employee shall gain seniority as of their last day worked. The Employer may not discharge or discipline for purpose of evading this Agreement or discriminating against Union members. After the thirty (30) days worked probationary period, probationary employees shall be placed on the seniority list as regular employees provided they have worked thirty (30) days within a ninety (90) calendar day period. The seniority date for such employee shall be the thirtieth (30th) day worked within the ninety (90) calendar day period. Probationary employees shall be called for work ahead of replacement employees, if qualified and available. Abuse of the above provisions shall subject the Employer to the grievance procedure. (C) Preference shall be given to employees older in service and in the order of seniority to the work available, provided that such employees are available at such time as the work is assigned and are qualified to perform the work required, except as provided for in Article 52, Section 2. (D) Employees in the order of their seniority shall have preference: (1) In selection of starting times from the schedule. (2) In filling of job vacancies and in filling of new jobs when such new jobs will result in additions to the existing seniority list. In the event a vacancy or new job (as defined herein) develops, any employee desiring to change his job shall be given an opportunity to change such classification provided he is qualified for the job to be filled.

This bidding procedure may be modified if mutually agreed to by the Employer and the Local Union. If a sufficient number of qualified regular employees fail to accept the number of bids available by seniority, the Employer shall assign these bids to regular qualified employees in the order of their sen- iority. The semi-annual bid is predicated upon the supposition that no mass or concerted movement from one classification to another will be allowed, the result of which will be to effect a layoff of reg- ular employees. Regular employees, once having successfully bid or having been assigned a bid, shall hold said bid for the period referred to above, unless: (a) There shall be two seniority lists.
