– MILITARY AND GOVERNMENT SERVICE. 1. Any employee, having a position other than a temporary one, who leaves such position to perform active service in the armed forces, or to perform compensatory service in lieu of military service, or who is required by law to serve the government of the United States shall, if still qualified to perform the duties of such position upon his return from such service, be granted the same position or a position comparable in character and pay provided he makes application for reemployment with the Publisher within ninety (90) days after he is relieved from such service, unless the Publisher's circumstances have so changed as to make it impossible or unreasonable to do so. Upon returning to his duties with the Publisher, the employee shall be restored in such manner as to give him such status in his employment as he would have enjoyed if he had continued in such employment continuously from the time of his entering such service, until the time of his restoration to such employment unless otherwise agreed upon. The Publisher is not obligated to rehire any replacement who also entered the armed forces, but the Publisher shall give any such replacement, who nevertheless is rehired, the same treatment as to dismissal pay and experience rating it gives regular employees. Application for resumption of employment must be made within ninety (90) days of termination of such service, making reasonable allowance for return to place of employment. Voluntary continuation in such service beyond such time as an option of release from service is offered shall forfeit the right of return to employment. In the event that a war emergency creates the necessity for the elimination of a department, thereby abolishing positions previously held by employees called into service, the parties shall enter into negotiations looking toward formulation of a mutually satisfactory supplement to the above section of the Agreement that will provide for such a contingency.
