CONSOLIDATION OR ELIMINATION OF JOBS. (a) Non-probationary employees displaced by the elimination of jobs through jobs consolidation (combining the duties of two (2) or more jobs), the installation of new equipment or machinery, the curtailing or displacement of new equipment or machinery, the development of new facilities or for any other reason, shall be assigned to an opening or vacancy in an equal or lower-rated job classification in accordance with the seniority principle set forth in Section 7.3 of this Article. If no opening or vacancy exists, employees shall be placed on a preferential recall list. (b) Before the City subcontracts work which is (and always has been) exclusively performed by employees in the bargaining unit or which would result in the layoff of any non-probationary employee, it shall notify the Union and, upon prompt written request, shall meet to discuss the matter. This Section shall not be construed as restricting the City's right to subcontract for assistance with snow removal or for the performance of any service or function as an emergency measure.
