These exhibits are not intended for use in deremtirung ^ihe number of basic jobs in these envisions, wr.ich are subject to change in ac cordance with the provisions of Article X. --13-- A. Promotions 1. All promotions to classifications within the- bargaining unit except as otherwise pro vided herein shall be based on seniority and ability. It is the inter.: to give every employee an opportunity tc progress, into higher jobs in line with his seniority. It is mutually recog nized. however, by the Company and the Llr.ion, that ability must be given considera tion in all such moves. Thus there may be in dividuals who. threuoh lack of knowledge, skill or efficiency .an. the job, are not capable of handling the higher skilled jobs, but who are capable of satisfactorily handling some of the intermediate or lower jobs. When a pro motion is made and ihe employee is not the highest on the seniority list in the next appli cable classification, any employee higher in that classification and eligible for consider ation for such promotion shall be advised by the Company why he .was not selected. Operating Division. 2. a. Promotions, in the Oner?.ting Divi sion (OB classification ar.d higher) are made cni-- when a basic "job is permanently vacated and is still required,. or.when a hew basic job is created. The number of employees assigned to each classuicatlcn" (OB. and. higher) is de termined by the number of employees needed to- 5:1! each baric icix in the classification. Ex cept as provided feruin Article V.C.. once ar, esrpoyse is assigned a position on the senior ity list, his name" shalh continue, in the basic classification assigned even thouch he is ah- sen: for any reason and still retains his senior ity. Employees will be arranged in the clas sification in the order of Operating Division seniority. These employees assigned to the Op erator Poo! will be arranged on this list as cov ered in V. A. 3. in order of Operating Division seniority. Basic jobs (in OB classification and higher) are these which are determined by management.to be essential to the anticipated requirement for efficient operation of the plane. The number cf basic jobs in each classifica tion may be revised by the Company from time to time to meet changing conditions, and the Union will be kept informed of such changes made in the number of basic jobs in the Oper ating Division- Swing jobs in all cases are basicailv classified, at the lower of the two swing classifications.! b. All employees currently in the Stocks. and. Utilities Section and all basic OA's as of the date of signing this Agreement will be given an opportunity to indicate a preference consistent with the emplovee's' basic classifi cation for one of the new Operating Sections lProcess or Tank Field). Assignments to these O oeratino Sections of the employees specified above will be made fay the. Company in ac cordance with the reauests _and in accordance with the emnlcvee's Operating Division senior ity and ability. Such assignments will be made. as scon as practicable consistent with opera:-, ing requirements. '. 3. A!! men hired for operations will be _ hired at the Helper C rate1 in the Operator Pool and assigned in order of Operating Divi sion seniority. This rate will be effective for a period of twenty (20) work days, except in cases where men have become qualified and work an OB job in less than twenty (20) work -days. After the initial twenty (20) day work period, he will be advanced to the Helper B classification. After one (1) year of Operating Division seniority he will be advanced to the Helper A classification. The OB rate will be paid for any OB work performed. All men assigned by the Company or transferred to the Operating Division by request will be as signed to the Operator Pool in order of Oper ating Division seniority. They will be paid at the Helper B rate if. they have less than one year of Refinery seniority or at the Helper A rate if they have one year or more of Refinery seniority. After having worked in the OB clas sification, a man will be paid at his basic rate in the Operator Poo! as covered in this section, or at the rate of the classification in which he works, whichever is higher. -4. Promotions to fill basic jobs in the OA classification in the Process Section and Tank Field Section will be made from the OB clas sification. After accepting a basic assignment or OA in one, of the two progressional sections, he will progress only in that section. Em ployees accepting promotion to. OA classifica tion (or higher) in one or the two Operating Sections shall be placed on the Section Senior ity List in order of Operating Division senior ity. If a man is offered and turns down a basic assignment in the OA classification in the Pro cess Section or the Tank Field Section he shall CHEV B8 7140 not -- at a later date -- go ahead of the junior man that accepted the job in that classification, or higher.'If there is a vacancy in the classifi cation at a later date, and he elects to accept it, he will cake a position below the last man assigned to fill a basic job in the OA classifi cation ana will thereafter advance in that relative posifionT ' " 5. Temporary vacancies due to illness, leaves of absence, etc., of one (1) to not more than thirty (30) calendar days' duration, and all vacancies due to vacations will be filled as determined by the Company in a manner that will give employees training in equal or higher classifications With the objective of suitably protecting current and future operations and providing opportunities for employees to gain experience in work of the same or higher clas sifications. Nothing herein shall require the Com pany to pay an overtime or penalty rate to fill a temporary vacancy when a qualified employee is available for such work at no or less overtime or penalty pay. . 6. In the event of an anticipated vacancy in excess of thirty (30) calendar days in an established basic , job due to reasons such as extended illness, leaves of absence or special assignments, assignments to fill such vacancies" " although net promotions, will be filled in ac cordance with the same procedure used in r.iaxmg promotions without changing basic...__ classifications. However, none" of "the" prowl- sior.s in this Article nor-in sriv ether of the Articles in this .Agreement is intended to oh- - --16-- ligate the Company to fill all vacancies in basic jobs, whether permanent or temporary, when not required by operating conditions at the time. 7. Schedule changes will be made if neces sary, to assure that o\rer any thirty (30) day ceriod no junior employee will be assigned to work more shifts in the next higher classifica tion .than the senior qualified man in each classification and section. The senior qualifiedmnan is that employee qualified to work in the next higher classification, whose name is highest on the seniority list in each classifi cation and section. 8, An Operator who is not promoted ac cording to the Articles of this Agreement, be cause of his lack of ability, may be retained within his basic classification as long as there is a +ob that he can handle satisfactorily, but thereafter the Company shall not be required to consider such an employee for promotion to at higher classification, nor shall he be en titled to fill a temporary vacancy in a higher classification. Ir. the event there are no jobs in his basic classification'in which he can per form satisfactorily, he will be demoted to a lower classification. -This will then become his dew basic classification. The above assign ments will be made in accordance with senior ity provisions. Maintenance Division . . . 9--In the Maintenance Division, promotions fromrH e.per 3 to helper A, and from Mechanic 2 CcrMer.ranic A. are to be made solely on the --17-- basis of Maintenance Division seniority and not on the basis of performance of a higher or different classification of work.
