Layoff of Dayworkers. (1) An employee may take a voluntary layoff in inverse seniority order unless there is no fully qualified employee in his department and in his job classification to replace him. Employees who volunteer for layoff in a particular department and job classification shall be scheduled for voluntary layoff prior to any direct transfers or bumping that may take place as herein after provided. Bumping between dayworkers will always be lateral or down in labor grade, never up, and the person doing the bumping must displace the least senior employee in the same job classification regardless of shift. When bumping laterally or to the next best labor grade an employee will stay on his shift if a less senior employee is on such job. The employee being bumped will displace the least senior employee in the same classification regardless of shift or if no such job exists bump laterally or to the next best labor grade that he can handle on his shift.
