42

Page 45: Chicopee Manufacturing Employees’ Association Fabrication and Machinery/336...withheld, and the Committee Member shall report again to the immediate supervisor at the time of his/her

46

may make non-scheduled layoffs without such notice but in such cases shall promptly notify the Association of its intentions and keep the Association advised. A non-scheduled layoff is a layoff caused by the failure to receive supplies, breakdown of equipment, fire, flood or other unanticipated event causing disruption of work .

(b) The Company will meet with a Committee of the Association Executive at least twenty-four hours prior to giving notice of any scheduled layoff to discuss the layoff.

(c) An Employee who changes classification in order to prevent layoff may not bump into a classification and level which carries a higher hourly rate than the Employee’s current classification and level except as provided in (g) and (h) .

(d) Upon receiving notice of the layoff the Employees with the greatest seniority will be given preference to bump . Upon the Employee making a selection the Employee shall be given up to a thirty (30) working days training period to demonstrate that the Employee has the qualifications to perform the work in question .

(e) The Employee who so bumps will receive the rate for the new classification and level during the training period and if the Employee is successful will continue to be

Page 46: Chicopee Manufacturing Employees’ Association Fabrication and Machinery/336...withheld, and the Committee Member shall report again to the immediate supervisor at the time of his/her

47

paid at the rate for such classification and level except as provided in (g) and (h) .

(f) The employee must report to commence the training period on the day assigned or lose the right to bump and of seniority and recall . However, an employee who is prevented from reporting for the training period because of illness or other circumstances beyond the Employee’s control shall be bypassed for the bump position but will remain on the recall list for the balance of the Employee’s remaining recall period . Notwithstanding the foregoing, when an employee is on WSIB, the employee will automatically bump into the highest available position . The training period will start upon the employee’s return to work, subject to Articles 15 .04 and 16 .05 .

(g) An Employee may bump into any position previously held in the Company and will immediately receive the rate for the classification and level to which he has bumped .

Page 47: Chicopee Manufacturing Employees’ Association Fabrication and Machinery/336...withheld, and the Committee Member shall report again to the immediate supervisor at the time of his/her

48

additional sixty (60) working days . At the end of the 60 working days the Employee will be assigned the rate for the level in the classification that in the opinion of the Company the Employee has qualified. Such Employees bumping into any one Classification will be limited to 20% of the current Employees in that Classification.

(i) Once an Employee has made a selection the Employee will be bound by the choice and shall not have the right to change the selection after commencing the training period or to make an additional bump or receive a further training period . If the Employee is not successful, no other Employee who has been laid off in the same layoff shall be able to make the same selection for bump and training .

(j) If the Employee is not successful the Employee will be returned to recall status and shall be eligible to be recalled to the classification and level that the Employee held on layoff in accordance with the Employee’s seniority if there is a requirement for an additional employee in such classification and level.

15 .03 An Employee who so bumps under

section 15 .02 or 14 .03 shall maintain the right to be recalled in the order of the Employee’s layoff seniority if there is a vacancy in the classification and level the

Page 48: Chicopee Manufacturing Employees’ Association Fabrication and Machinery/336...withheld, and the Committee Member shall report again to the immediate supervisor at the time of his/her

49

Employee was classified at the time of the layoff at his/her previous level within twenty (20) months of the date of the layoff. If an employee refuses such recall the Employee may remain in the position to which the Employee had transferred while on layoff or as a result of a layoff. In doing so the Employee forfeits the right to be recalled at a later date to the classification and level the Employee was classified at the time of the layoff.

15 .04 Any non-probationary Employee who is laid off shall remain on recall status for a period of twenty (20) months, after which period such Employee’s right to recall under the provisions of this Agreement shall terminate .

15 .05 Notice of recall to an Employee who has been laid off shall be made by hand delivery, courier, or registered mail to the last known address of the Employee or at such address as the Employee may in writing advise the Company . The Employee must respond to such notice within five (5) working days of mailing or lose rights of seniority and recall unless the Employee is employed at the time of recall, then the term of five working days is extended to ten (10) working days . However, an Employee who is prevented from responding to a

Page 49: Chicopee Manufacturing Employees’ Association Fabrication and Machinery/336...withheld, and the Committee Member shall report again to the immediate supervisor at the time of his/her

50

recall notice because of illness or other circumstance beyond the Employee’s control shall not lose such rights thereby, but such Employee may be bypassed for the position available . An Employee bypassed above will remain on the recall list for the balance of the Employee’s remaining recall period .

15 .06 In the event that an Employee working in a position to which he has bumped is requested by the Company to transfer temporarily to his last held position prior to layoff and bump, the Employee will be required to do so provided the following conditions are met .

(a) The Employee is transferred for a minimum of one shift .

(b) The Employee will receive the rate of pay for the position to which the Employee is transferred .
