So, as I understand Leo's posting, some AP's previously benefited by having NO trial period because of our CBA language and were, thus, able to self-determine whether a new job "fit." So the CBA was changed to ensure that ALL AP's (regardless of seniority or time of service) now undergo (up to) a 6-month (or longer if the employer desires) "trial period." Now, either the AP or the employer can terminate the (undetermined) trial period. AP's are betting their jobs against what could be a short-lived attempt at self-improvement. Either way, APs are not guaranteed the right to reclaim their previous job (details in -56 were not included in Leo's post) because the employer can simply say there is "no intent" to fill the former position. That is the crux of the original response regarding IT job openings and change .
