five (5) working days after the suspension or discharge. Upon such timely
request, the employee shall be granted a hearing. At that time, the employee,
the Union, and any other interested party may present evidence or testimony or
argument in support of the contention that the discipline or discharge was
without just cause. After hearing all such evidence and testimony, the Company
shall give the employee and the Union within seven (7) Calendar days an answer
that confirms, modifies, or reverses the original discipline or discharge. If

to his last known address. The employee must respond to such notice within three

after receipt of notice unless otherwise mutually agreed. An employee shall lose
all seniority rights and right of recall if on layoff longer than twelve (12)
months or upon failure to comply with recall as provided above.
SECTION 3 Seniority shall not apply to probationary, part-time or casual
employees. Probationary, part-time and casual employees shall not be used in
order to lay off currently working full-time employees and further in the event
of a reduction of force, regular full-time employees shall have the right to
transfer to part-time or casual employee jobs without losing seniority if they
wish, rather than being laid off.

that an employee purchase truck, tractor and/or tractor and trailer or other
vehicular equipment or that any employee purchase or assume any proprietary
interest or other obligation in the business.
SECTION 5 All regular runs and new positions are subject to seniority and shall

bids for new runs, new positions or vacancies. The Company has full authority to
determine qualifications of any bidder.

arising under these procedures.
SECTION 6 The Employer shall post in a conspicuous place at the employee's home
terminal and shall mail to the Union within thirty (30) days after the signing
of this Supplemental Agreement, a list of the regular employees covered by this
Supplemental Agreement arranged according to their seniority. The above list
shall be kept current. Protest to any future employee's seniority date or
position on such list must be made in writing to the Employer within thirty
(30) days after such seniority date or position first appears, and if no
protests are timely made, the dates and positions as posted shall be deemed
correct. Any such protest which is timely made may be submitted to the grievance
procedure.

the employees absorbed or affected thereby shall be determined by mutual
agreement between the parties, or the parties may agree to submit it to the
grievance procedure.

residence in order to follow employment as a result of an approved change of
operation, the Company shall move the employee or pay his moving expenses. This

shall have the opportunity to bid for the number of extra board positions
designated by the Company for assignment on mileage paid work. Employees will

secondary job. Successful bidders will be used on their regular work assignment

mileage paid drivers are used at a terminal, the Company will assign runs on a
first-in, first-out basis wherever practicable.
SECTION 2 LONG LINE EXTRA BOARD: Short line supplement employees shall also have
the opportunity to bid on long line extra board positions, as designated by the
Company, to do extra board work as it comes up and still retain their short line
supplement seniority and regular job. At such time as an opening occurs and the
employee elects to transfer to a regular position (not extra board) under the
long line supplement, he shall cease to accrue seniority under this supplement
and begin to accrue seniority under the long line supplement. In the event of a
subsequent reduction of force, he shall exert his seniority under the long line
supplement only.

employment, that an employee purchase truck, tractor, and/or tractor and trailer
or other vehicular equipment or that any employee purchase or assume any
proprietary interest or other obligation of the business.

be posted for bids. Posting shall be in a conspicuous place so that all eligible
employees shall receive notice of the vacancy. Such posting of bids shall be
made not more than once each calendar year, unless mutually agreed, except bids
for new runs, new positions or vacancies.
If either party at any time may find the present methods of bidding
inoperative as outlined, negotiations may be requested to correct any problems
arising under these procedures.
SECTION 6 The Employer shall post in a conspicuous place at the employee's home
terminal, and shall mail to the Union within thirty (30) days after the signing
of this Supplemental Agreement, a list of the regular employees covered by this
Supplemental Agreement arranged according to their seniority. The above list
shall be kept current. Protest to any future employee's seniority date or
position on such list must be made in writing to the Employer within thirty (30)
days after such seniority date or position first appears, and if no protests are
timely made, the dates and positions as posted shall be deemed correct. Any such
protest which is timely made may be submitted to the grievance procedure.
SECTION 7 In the event that the Company absorbs the business of another private
contract or common carrier, or is a party to a merger of line, the seniority of
the employees absorbed or affected thereby shall be determined by mutual
agreement between the parties, or the parties may agree to submit it to the
grievance procedure.
SECTION 8 When a branch, terminal, division or operation is closed and the work
of the branch, terminal, division, or operation is eliminated, an employee who
was formerly employed at another branch, terminal, division or operation shall
have the right to transfer back to such former branch, terminal, division or
operation and exercise his seniority based on the date of hire at the branch,
terminal, division or operation into which he is transferring, provided he has
not been away from such original terminal for more than two (2) years.
When a branch, terminal, division or operation is closed or partially
closed and the work of the branch, terminal, division or operation is
transferred to another branch, terminal, division or operation in whole or in
part, an employee at the closed or partially closed down branch, terminal,
division or operation shall have the right to transfer to the branch, terminal,
division or operation in which the work was transferred if work is available
there. Such employee, however, shall go to the bottom of the seniority board and
shall have the right of job selection only in accordance with his seniority at
such terminal. However, he shall exercise his Company seniority for layoff
purposes and all other contract benefits.

to time determine are necessary. Short Line Supplement employees shall have the
opportunity to bid on long line extra board positions as designated by the
Company, do the extra board work as it comes up and still retain their short
line supplement seniority and regular job. At such time as a regular (not extra
board) opening occurs and the employee elects to transfer to a regular position
under this supplement, he shall begin to accrue seniority under this supplement
and shall then exert seniority under this supplement only. This shall not be
interpreted to mean the Employer may not hire new regular long line drivers as
it determines openings exist.
SECTION 2 Where extra long line drivers are regularly used at a terminal, the
Company will assign runs on a first in, first out basis.
SECTION 3 Employees may be assigned to any work as required by the Company to
