UNIFORM POLICY FOR REPLACEMENT/STEADY MEN
VACATION REPLACEMENTS
Replacements required on a temporary basis for steady men on vacation shall be ordered from the Dispatch Hall on the same basis as steady men, but for no more than a period of six weeks. No posting of the jobs for ten days shall be required, as these jobs are temporary in nature. Vacation relief replacements must be returned to the Hall no later than six weeks after original employment. The fourteen (14) day rule shall apply, and these jobs are “volunteer”.
DISABILITY REPLACEMENTS
Replacements required on a temporary basis for steady men off on injury or illness disability shall be ordered from the Dispatch Hall from the appropriate board in the Hall and dispatched in normal fashion on a “volunteer” basis. The order shall specify “Injury Reap.” Such men shall take the payroll guarantee status of the man being replaced and, if satisfactory to the employer, will remain on the job until the original steady man returns, or until a period of six months has been completed.
If the disability continues beyond a six-month period, a new replacement for the original steady man shall be ordered.
In the event that the original steady man being replaced leaves the work force by disability retirement, retirement, death, or by electing to return to the Dispatch Hall, the vacancy will be filled, if the employer so elects, by the normal steady man hiring procedure. In any event, the replacement temporarily filling this spot shall then be returned to the Dispatch Hall.
If a Disability Replacement in turn becomes injured or ill and a continuing need for a man to fill the job exists, a new replacement shall be ordered in accordance with this procedure. He shall be a replacement for the original steady man, and not a replacement for a replacement.
PCLCD SECTION 9.45
A steady worker, after serving the Union as an elected official, has the right to be reinstated in his/her same steady job with the same seniority and at the same company, and that job shall be filled on a temporary basis.
IF YOU ARE STEADY AND GO OUT ON ILLNESS OR INJURY, PLEASE NOTIFY LOCAL 13. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO STEADY MECHANICS.
Fraternally,
