If there is no available job to which the employee may be assigned, said employee will displace the least senior employee in the plant holding a job other than those in the skilled crafts, trades, Exhibit E, or those mutually agreed upon as being special skills jobs. If there are no qualified eligible bidders or pre-bidders for the posted job or if an employee has failed to demonstrate the ability to perform the job, the Company shall undertake to train the senior employee for the position to be filled provided, however, that this obligation shall not extend to a Skilled Trades Classification, as listed in Article X of this Agreement.

It is also understood that should the ill employee recover and return to work, physically able to perform said job, he will displace the operator that replaced him via the job posting regardless of seniority. The successful bidder will be entitled to the usual rights connected with a job bid award with the exception of the return of the recovered employee and the displacement aspect mentioned above. The successful bidder cannot be displaced during a reduction of the work force except by an employee who has received notice previously held the position or who currently occupies a position that in Management's opinion is job related. If this employee is the least senior in the plant, he/she will be displaced prior to a more senior employee becoming unemployed unless the employee occupies a skilled trades or special skills job as defined in the agreement.
