COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT Between NEW YORK UNIVERSITY And LOCAL 810 I.B.T
July 1, 2002-June 30, 2007

ARTICLE 27 - PROMOTIONS AND FILLING VACANCIES

Promotions to the jobs covered by this Agreement, the filling of vacancies, and newly created jobs covered by this Agreement shall be based on proven ability and bargaining unit work experience. However, an employee may be disqualified by disciplinary action taken within the previous year or a pattern of attendance that indicates abuse of the Employer's sick leave program or reasonable attendance requirements rather than bona fide illness or injury. Where ability and experience are relatively equal, classification seniority shall govern among those already employed and preference shall be given to incumbents over new hires or applicants from outside the bargaining unit.
