Synopsis Grievant, employed by Respondent as a bus operator, applied for an extracurricular position, but was not the successful applicant. Grievant filed this grievance challenging his non-selection for an extracurricular special needs bus run. Grievant contends that, based on his seniority, he should have been awarded the (Sp. needs) bus run. Grievant is not assigned to a lift bus, which is required to complete the identified bus run. Respondent specified valid cause why Grievant, a service person, with acknowledged seniority was not employed in the positon for which he applied. Grievant is not available to complete this run. Accordingly, this grievance is DENIED.
