SECTION B
At any time during such an initial probationary period, an employee may be discharged for any reason, and any such employee so discharged shall not have the right to file a grievance or have other recourse to the grievance procedure.
ARTICLE VI - SENIORITY
It is agreed that the Company and the Union will meet for the purpose of establishing a seniority list for all employees employed in the unit at the time of the signing of the Agreement. Said seniority list will be based upon official records of the Union, of the Company and predecessor contractors. Not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of the Company's contract covering the Base, the Company shall furnish the Union and the successor contractor a list of all its current employees together with their dates of hire and the dates of their last vacation pay was paid by the Company. The following Sections in this Article shall become applicable and shall be in full force and effect upon the establishment of said seniority list. In establishing the initial seniority list for employees at the time of the signing of this Agreement, employees transferred to the Base covered by this Agreement shall receive seniority in accordance with their tenure of service with the Company or its franchise as the case may be, regardless of where such service was performed. Other employees transferred to the Base covered by this Agreement by the Company to fill vacancies shall likewise receive seniority in accordance with their tenure with the company or its franchise, as the case may be, regardless of where such service was performed. Seniority shall, for all purposes of this Article, be on the basis of job classification, unless specifically stated otherwise.
SECTION B
In the event that the Company finds it necessary to lay-off employees for any reason, other than disciplinary or scheduled cycle breaks, such lay-offs shall be on the basis of seniority, i.e., the employee on duty in the establishment where the layoff occurs having the shorter period of continuous service with the Company, shall be laid off before any other employee having a longer period of continuous service. The Company shall recall such laid-off employees in reverse order. Senior employees shall have preference of full-time employment at all times if equal distribution of work is impossible. Senior employees may, however, exercise their seniority rights by taking a job in a lower classification for which they are qualified.
In the event of a closing of a facility (except those that are temporarily closed as a result of cycle breaks) which is expected to last thirty (30) days or longer, or of a permanent closing of a facility, an employee in that facility shall have the right to bump employees with less seniority in equal or lower classifications, for which they are qualified, within the base unit. Solely for the purpose of this paragraph, seniority shall be based on all employment, regardless of job classification, with the present contractor and/or predecessor contractor( s).
SECTION C
Employees shall have the right to select available work schedules by seniority in job assignments for which they are qualified. Each employee shall be given his work schedule.
The work schedule for each week shall be posted at least four (4) days prior to the beginning of the work week. The Company shall have the right to schedule personnel for the times and in the buildings necessary to fulfill its contract with the Government;
provided, however, that areas, shifts and duties which an employee has been awarded by seniority will be considered their "permanent area" when operational needs do not require them to be scheduled otherwise.
SECTION D
Except as otherwise provided in Section A of this Article, seniority shall be measured from the date of the employee's initial hire at the base with the Company or a predecessor contractor engaged in providing similar services at the base, provided there has been no break in seniority under Section E of this Article.
SECTION E
An employee shall lose his seniority upon his retirement, resignation or discharge for just cause. An employee will be considered to have resigned if he:
(1) fails to report to work on the day following expiration of an authorized leave of absence, unless failure to report is due to conditions recognized by the Company to be beyond the control of the employee and he reported such conditions as soon as possible;
(2) is on lay-off for a period exceeding one (1) year;
(3) is absent from work for two (2) work days without properly notifying the Company of the reason for absence even though the reason for such absence is beyond is beyond the control of the employee, or in any event, fails to report for work as scheduled without such reason;
(4) fails, while on layoff of one week or longer, upon notice from the Company that work is available, to report to the Company for work as soon as practicable, but not later than two (2) work days and provided that the employee notifies the Company within three (3) days of such notice that he will return to work within the seven (7) day period.
The Company fulfills its obligation under this Section by sending notice by certified
Johnson Food Services, LLC letter to the last known address of the employee. It is the obligation of the employee to keep the Company informed of his current address and telephone number.
SECTION F
An employee who has occupied a position with the Company covered by this Agreement and who accepts a position with the Company in a classification not covered by this Agreement will continue to accrue seniority for nine (9) months, after which period he shall retain his accumulated seniority, provided he remains in the employ of the employer.
ARTICLE VII - DISCIPLINE
No employee shall be disciplined without just cause, and all discipline will be subject to the grievance procedure and arbitration clause. All reprimands and discharge notices shall be in writing and shall be signed by the Project Manager. Copies of the reprimand or discharge notice shall be given to the employee reprimanded and to the shop steward. Each reprimand shall be cancelled after one (1) year. Three (3) reprimands may result in immediate dismissal. Theft, intoxication on the job, failure to perform work as directed, illegal use of drugs and showing disrespect or insubordination shall result in an immediate investigation and appropriate action regardless of the number of prior reprimands.
