OPENING AND CLOSING OF CENTERS. Whenever a center is opened or closed or partially closed, the Local Unions involved and the Company will determine the number of jobs to be transferred. The employees affected will be entitled to follow the work. If the num- ber of employees pre-determined to move has not been reached, the remaining employees in the center or classification in the building will be offered the work in seniority order. Temporary Cover Drivers will be permitted to move to fill any package car jobs not filled by package car drivers in the building from which the work was moved. All part time and full time employees who transfer will have their seniority dovetailed. In the event no employee elects to follow the work and it becomes necessary to reduce the work force, the least senior of the employ- ees shall be laid off first and they shall not be permitted to displace part time employees. All Changes of Operations will be reduced to writing and forward- ed to the Joint National Change of Operations Committee. If any of the parties cannot agree on a Change of Operations, they shall contact the Joint National Change of Operations Committee. A Change of Operations Committee will be established in each Re- gional Area to resolve any disputes.
OPENING AND CLOSING OF CENTERS. Whenever a center is closed, the employees affected will be entitled to move to the location to which the work is transferred and their seniority will be dovetailed in the new location. However, if a center is partially closed, employees shall be given preference according to seniority in determining which employees shall stay to perform the work remaining at the partially closed center. The remaining employees will be entitled to move to the location to which the work is transferred and their seniority will be dovetailed at the new location.

OPENING AND CLOSING OF CENTERS. Whenever a center is opened or closed or partially closed, the employ- ees affected will be entitled to follow the work and their seniority will be permanently dovetailed in the new location. The transferred employees shall, for a period of thirty (30) working days following the transfer, have an unqualified right to return to their original center, if it is still in existence, and carry with them their seniority at their original center. The Employer will have ten (10) working days’ notice to effec- tuate the transfer back to the original center. In the event the employees affected are forced to accept the transfer in lieu of a layoff, such employees may have the right to return to their original center to fill new permanent jobs or permanent vacan- cies within two (2) years of the date of such transfer and their sen- iority shall be dovetailed. Seniority shall be on a center basis except that a laid off full-time seniority employee shall be given job preference, if qualified, at another center in the same local union’s jurisdiction before any new employees are hired be it on a temporary or permanent basis. Employees who elect to take such work must give at least one (1) day’s notice of their election and the agreed upon notice of layoff shall not apply to such employees at the new location.
