It is also, however, an obligation as well as a management prerogative of the Employer to maintain the efficiency of the Employer's operations and to determine methods and means by which those operations are to be conducted. The Employer shall make every reasonable effort to retain the employees covered by this agreement and will not make any arrangements to contract with any outside firm for any of the services ordinarily rendered by said employees which would jeopardize their continued employment without disclosure to the Union sufficiently in advance to accommodate discussion between the parties of the contemplated action. The Employer shall not enter into any such contract for services unless it can be proven that said contract would result in increased efficiency of operations by way of obtaining the same services at less cost or additional services for the same cost, or unless it can be proven that such action is necessitated by financial exigency. The provisions of this paragraph are subject to the grievance procedures and no work which would result in displacement of any employee within the bargaining unit shall be contracted prior to a final decision on any grievance filed under the terms of this paragraph.
