Labor Pool Plantwide. In the event of a reduction in force affecting departments 1860 (Truck Pre-Delivery) or 2850 (Transit Pre-Delivery), employees will remain in their respective system. Employees affected by this reduction will have recall rights to the Pre-Delivery department from which they were reduced as long as they have seniority and hold the current classification in their home department. In the event of a reduction-in-force in a department, other than a reduction to-the-street, the highest seniority employee who has requested consideration for a non-promotional transfer will be canvassed and have the option to be reduced to their designated area replacing the lowest seniority employee affected by the reduction-in-force. This process will be completed equal to the number of employees affected by the reduction-in-force or until the non-promotional list of available employees has been exhausted. If there is an insufficient number of non-promotional “requests”, the reduction-in-force will be conducted in a normal manner. Employees who “decline” these opportunities will be ineligible to request a non-promotional transfer for the next two (2) semi-annual sign up periods. No employee will be reduced until the Reduction in Force is completed by Labor Relations and a copy is provided to the Union. It is agreed and understood by the parties that any future permanent reductions in force at the Kansas City Assembly Plant will be implemented in accordance with the terms of the National Agreement dealing with seniority imbalances so requested by the local Union. This agreement shall become effective concurrently with the effective date of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement which replaced the February 12, 2012 Collective Bargaining Agreement, and shall remain in effect for the same period as such new Collective Bargaining Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. In accordance with Article VIII, Section 9 of the Master Agreement, pertaining to Occupational Seniority Agreements, this agreement is signed subject to the approval of the National Ford Department of the UAW and the Human Resources Staff of the Company.
