let me ask this. if a list says only filling or hiring 2 spots. 2 is all that can be pulled from that list correct.
What supplement are you under? The Western Supplement Article 7:
"PART-TIME TO FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT
It is the intention of the parties to afford part-time employees the opportunities to be promoted to full-time positions.
This provision is not intended to limit the Employer’s program for the hiring of minorities, women, veterans and others.
Part-time employees who meet the eligibility requirements of the applicable Rider or Addendum may request, in writing, for hiring into permanent full-time openings. A list of such requests shall be maintained in the Employer’s Personnel Department and a copy of such request shall be given to the employee.
An employee who fails to qualify for a full-time position within a classifcation shall have his/her name replaced on the list in his/her rightful spot and shall be given an additional opportunity to qualify for a full-time position within that same classifcation, six (6) months after the date he/she was disqualifed. This six (6) month waiting period shall not be applicable to the flling of a full-time position in another classifcation. An employee who is granted a second opportunity to qualify and fails to do so shall have his/her name replaced on the list and shall be granted additional opportuni- ty twelve (12) months after the date he/she was last disqualifed and continuing forward in a like manner.
Failing to qualify in this period, the employee shall return to his/her former classifcation without loss of seniority. When an employee is disqualifed, the Employer shall notify the Local Union of the reasons for the disqualifcation. Any disputes arising out of this Section shall be subject to the grievance procedure.
An employee who disqualifes himself/herself other than for good cause shown shall not be allowed to place his/her name back on the same full-time list sooner than twenty-four (24) months following the date he/she last disqualifed himself or herself.
A part-time employee who qualifes for full-time employment shall be placed on the appropriate full-time seniority list with a seniority date as of the frst day of full-time employment but shall retain his/ her seniority for fringe beneft purposes in accordance with the ap- plicable area or local Addendum or Rider.
A part-time employee who is attempting to qualify as a full-time package car driver shall not be automatically disqualifed as a result of a minor accident during the training period."
Under my rider we post a list in May for the whole year, then another in October for anyone who missed the one in May. They pull from that list in seniority order.
