employees doing similar work in the work location where the employees regularly work
in accordance with the following:</br>
<nowiki>* * *</nowiki>

:D If the voluntary "Overtime Desired" list does not provide sufficient
:available and qualified people, the Employer shall assign other employees
:to the extent needed. When assigning such employees, the Employer
:shall first utilize qualified and available full-time employees, in order of
:seniority, who have volunteered to work the required overtime after their
:scheduled tour for that day only or who have volunteered to work their
:nonscheduled day(s). Employees shall volunteer for overtime
:assignments after their scheduled tour for that day only by signing their
:name and indicating their seniority date, within the first two (2) hours of
:their scheduled tour of duty, on a daily "Full-Time Volunteer" list
:maintained in each work section on the workroom floor. The daily "Full-
:Time Volunteer" list shall be applied in a manner consistent with the
:application of the "Overtime Desired" list within the installation.
:Employees shall volunteer for overtime assignments on their
:nonscheduled days by signing their name and indicating their
:nonscheduled days and their seniority date on a Full-Time Volunteer list
:that is posted in each work section at the beginning of the service week
:(i.e., on Saturday) and must be signed by Tuesday of the service week
:prior to that being volunteered for. Such full-time employee volunteers
:shall work the required overtime, as directed by management. The
:Employer shall have the discretion to limit these volunteer employees
:from working beyond ten (10) hours in a day. There shall not be any
:penalty for errors by the Employer in applying either of these "Full-Time
:Volunteer" lists.</br></br>
:If additional employees are still needed after application of the above, the
:Employer shall assign other employees as needed. To the extent
:practicable, an effort will be made to schedule available (on duty at the
:time that the selection of employees for overtime is made) and qualified
:Mail Handler Assistants and/or part-time flexible employees for such
:work prior to requiring full-time employees not on the "Overtime Desired"
:list or "Full-Time Volunteer" lists to work such overtime. If qualified full-
:time [<s>regular</s>] employees not on the "Overtime Desired" list or either of
:the volunteer lists are required to work overtime, it shall be on a rotating
:basis with the first opportunity assigned to the junior employee.

<u>Explanation:</u> <blockquote>''The elimination of “regulars” in the introductory paragraph of this</br> provision and in the last paragraph will ensure that the rights of</br> “full-time regulars” to volunteer for overtime and their rights to be</br> last for mandated overtime are extended to the “full-time flexibles”</br> created by the new MHA auto conversion MOU.</blockquote>
