Unless there was an MOU that I do not have, this is what I am seeing based on this MOU, and the contract.
In time of layoff.
Article 5, section 1 applies
Seniority
(A) Upon completion of the probationary period The employees seniority for all purposes shall be the first day worked as a probationary employee. Seniority shall be broken only by discharge,voluntary quit,retirement, or more then 2 year layoff or leave, except for those workers on workmans compensation leave who shall not suffer a break in seniority unless on leave for more then 3 years.
Which now brings me to the MOA.
Dated November 20 of 2008.
Memorandum of understanding
It is the parties intent that the phrase ..." last employee hired on the effected classification seniority list.".... Is in referance to the date an individual became a fulltime employee with the employer ( Official Seniority Date) , not the date the employee entered the job classification in which the layoff may be occuring( classification seniority).
Now I cannot find it now, but if an employee transfers to a terminal where his work was not obsorbed by the terminal in which he transfers to, then his classification seniority is effected, not his Official Seniority Date.
