In any case of promotion, layoff, or reemployment, the Union Standing Committee shall be consulted by the management and be privileged to present recommendations which will be considered by the management prior to the decision by the management. In cases where time does not permit such prior consultation, the management shall take temporary action only, until recommendations of the Union Standing Committee can be obtained. Management shall give the Union Standing Committee written notice in each instance in which it, without the agreement of the Union Standing Committee, decides to and does promote, layoff or reemploy, out of seniority, on the grounds that a senior employee is not qualified. The Local Union may pursue a complaint as the management's evaluation of qualifications provided that within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice of management's decision, Local Union gives written notice to management that it desires consideration of the complaint by the Mill Manager and the Local Union concerned. If a satisfactory settlement is not reached at that level, the Union may carry the issue through all further steps in the manner and under the provisions of the Agreement covering adjustment of complaints. 19.02 The following seniority program shall be applied: 19.03 When a temporary layoff of jobs occurs that lasts less than seven (7) work days or is expected to last less than seven (7) work days, the regular employees scheduled to the curtailed jobs will be allowed to use their seniority to replace junior employees on the same shift provided they are qualified to perform the work. The rescheduling of employees will be arranged as soon as practical without loss of efficiency to the operation but no later than three days (3) following the curtailment. In addition, if the layoff is anticipated to last or lasts more than seven (7) days, curtailed employees will be scheduled for jobs they are qualified to perform using their mill seniority at the next usual time for scheduling the week's work. A new work schedule for the work week beginning on Monday at 7:30 A.M. will be created if the curtailment occurs or is announced prior to Friday at noon. Where practical, affected employees will be offered training/(re-) certification opportunities for their current or future responsibilities prior to being laid off.
