**BIDS — PROMOTIONAL AND NON-PROMOTIONAL — NON-SKILLED

It is mutually agreed between Ford Motor Company, Vehicle Operations, Woodhaven Stamping Plant, and the International Union, UAW, Local 387 on September 29, 2003, at Woodhaven, Michigan, that the following provisions will govern the exercise of bids-promotional and non-promotional, non-skilled.

1. When an hourly rated job, except for 1Z, is to be filled, management shall notify the Union immediately on Form 3466, “Notice of Hourly Employee Opening”. The notice shall be posted on the bulletin boards provided for that purpose.  Postings for hourly classifications will be posted on Thursday at 11:30 am where it shall remain for three (3) working days.
   
   1. Should additional openings exist on a classifica­tion one (1) week after it has been posted, the opening will be re-posted.
      
   2. a.  Temporary openings are defined as those existing for a period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days.
      
2. The notice shall contain the following: classifi­cation, rate of pay, number of openings, depart­ment and shift and any training requirements.
   
   1. Notices for temporary openings will stipulate, in addition to the above, the expected length of time for which the temporary assignment is intended and the reason for such temporary need.
      
3. Application for the posted opening shall be made on a form provided for that purpose and must be submitted to the Company Employment Office within the three (3) day period set forth in para­graph #1 above. A time and date stamp will be avail­able in the Employment Office for employees filing applications. Employees will time stamp their application, retain the employee copy, and deposit the remaining copies in the container provided for this purpose.
   
4. Following the three (3) day period, the Union will be supplied a copy of the applications received for the opening. These applications will be discussed with the District Committeeperson on the shift by the supervisor.
   
5. The candidate selected shall be moved to the opening no later than the Monday follow­ing the date the selection is made. If management can not make the move to the posted job within the prescribed time limits, the employee will be com­pensated for all monies lost after the fifth (5th) working day following the selection unless the posting has been canceled.
   
6. When an employee has been placed on a job for which applied and is thereafter disqualified within 30 days of reclassification, or files a written request for removal from the classification with the Employment Office within 30 days of reclassifica­tion, said employee shall return to the last classifi­cation held prior to the promotion in line with seniority.
   
7. Where an employee requests to be removed as pro­vided in 6 above, said employee shall not be eligi­ble to submit an application for a job for a period of two (2) months.
   
8. Employees who wish to make application for non-promotional transfer in accordance with this Agreement must apply for the job during the posting period and check the non-promotional box on the application.
   
   1. When openings occur in the Material Control Checker / I.L.T.O clas­sifications, those employees classified as Material Control Checker / I.L.T.O will be given first consideration based upon non-­promotional transfer requests on file at the time of the open­ing.  Non-promotional transfers of this type are limited to once in a six-month period to maintain the stability of operations.  Openings for which no transfer requests are on file will be filled by recall or job posting as appropriate.
      
   2. During the course of negotiations, the parties discussed the circumstances relative to the problem of ATMPL and ATWL to be transferred to jobs of a non-promotional basis of equal or lesser pay. In the past, such openings were filled through non-promotional transfers or promotional bids, based on such pay category. This resulted in the ATMPL/ATWL classifications to be disjoined from such job opportunities.
      
   3. To better facilitate and broaden the opportunity for the ATMPL/ATWL classifications to be placed into openings which they consider to be more desirable or promotional, based on their preference, the company agrees to change the procedure for filling job openings.  Effective with ratification of the agreement, the ATMPL/ATWL classifications will be afforded the opportunity to make bids for either promotional or non-promo­tional job opening. The applicants will have to make a proper bid, based on the type of posting or opening which is available. They will be considered for these openings, in conjunction with other bids which are made for the same openings.  Non-promotional requests between ATMPL and ATWL will be filled when there is a request in both classifications.
      
   4. When openings occur for AGV tenders, those employees classified as Industrial Tow Tractor Drivers will be given first consideration based upon non-promotional requests on file at the time of the opening.  Openings for which no transfer requests are on file will be filled by promotional job postings.
      
9. Applicants will be given thorough consideration, but this agreement does not in part or total modify the Company’s right under the Master Agreement, nor does it preclude the use of the established grievance procedure to protest Management’s judg­ment in promotions.
   
10. Nothing in this agreement is intended to change any other portion of the non-skilled posting agreement.

This agreement shall become effective concurrently with the effective date of (a) any new Collective Bargaining Agreement which replaces the October 9, 1999 Collective Bargaining Agreement or (b) any extension of the October 9, 1999 Collective Bargaining Agreement (other than an extension for a temporary or indefinite period) and shall remain in effect for the same period as such new or extended Collective Bargaining Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided here­in.

In accordance with Article IV, Section 2 of the Master Agreement, pertaining to local Bids–promotional and non-promotional, non-skilled agreements, this agreement is signed subject to the approval of the National Ford Department of the UAW and the Union Affairs Staff of the Company.
