Common use of Vacancy and Posting Clause in Contracts

Vacancy and Posting. Where the Employer introduces a new position within a classification or when an Employee leaves their position in a classification, a vacancy is created, and that vacancy will be filled by posting. The Employer will post all vacancies internally at all bargaining unit locations for a period of five (5) days. Internal postings will be filled by seniority provided the candidate has the necessary qualification to perform the role. If the posting goes unfulfilled at that location, the Employer will consider applicants who responded to the posting from other locations. If the posting goes unfilled by Local Employees within the bargaining unit during the internal posting procedure outlined above, then the posting may be made external. The Union acknowledges that the Employer may need to post the vacancy externally before it is offered to TFW Employees to meet the Employer’s obligations under the federal TFW Program. If no local external candidate is available, then the vacancy will be offered to the most senior TFW Employee at that location, whose LMIA has the vacant position listed as one of their duties and if there is no such candidate, then the position will be offered to the most senior TFW candidate from another bargaining unit location, whose LMIA has the vacant position listed as one of their duties. If no TFW Employee, whose LMIA vacant position listed as one of their duties is available, then the vacancy will be offered to the most senior TFW Employee at that location and if there is no such candidate from the most senior TFW candidate from another bargaining unit location. All vacancies being filled by a TFW are subject to an accepted LMIA and new work permit being issued before commencement. Postings will be shared with all Employees electronically and a hard copy for each posting will be posted beside the union board or another visible location in each location within the bargaining unit.
