Layoffs shall be made in the following order:
Probationary employee.
Other employees in order of job seniority.
Recall shall be made in the following order:
Employees in order of job seniority, given equal job ability.
Probationary employees.
Promotions shall be made on the basis of qualifications, merit, and seniority. Promotions out of the bargaining unit remain management's prerogative. An employee who quits or is discharged for cause shall lose all seniority rights. If the Company decides to terminate any operation or job and the employees remain on layoff for a period of twelve months, the employees shall be considered to have been terminated for cause at the expiration of said twelve-month period (see The Labor Relations Process, Holley et al.).
