is on vacation. In the event that a point is reached where the
number of open regular relief runs, and vacation relief runs equals
the number of unsigned operators, these unsigned operators shall
be required to fill the open work.

The reassignment must include at least the same number of Operators.

to work more than one (1) trip or one (1) hour, whichever is the maximum,
