Temporary employees who became members of the temporary pool on or before the date of ratification of the 2000-2003 contract will be given preference on open full-time positions based on their temporary seniority within the solid waste division. Employees who became members of the temporary pool after ratification shall be entitled to placement of their names on any future eligibility list created for the refuse collector classification.
Temporary Collectors Pool employees will be recognized as members of Teamsters Local 20 for purposes of representation only after they have completed two hundred sixty (260) actual days worked.

The pro-rata vacation time earned can be taken in the year the employee is certified as long as it is within the vacation limits defined in the Divisional Agreement.
