Such procedure shall be limited as herein provided. Failure or refusal of such representative of either party to meet at the appointed time shall constitute an automatic and final withdrawal or approval of the protest, as the case may be. If, in such expedited arbitration procedure, it is determined there was no need so to call, retain or recall an employee out of Studio Seniority or Industry Experience status, the arbitrator may require Producer to forthwith employ a person in Studio Seniority or Industry Experience Roster status, whichever the case may be. If the matter is so determined, the individual may be immediately awarded back pay, if any, but in no event more than three (3) days back pay. No other penalty may be imposed on the Producer.
