Recall from Layoffs. Following a layoff, when the work force is again increased, the associate shall be recalled using the following criteria: The most senior qualified associate shall be recalled. Associates will not be recalled to a job in which they were found unqualified during the layoff procedure. If after following the above procedures an open job still exists, then that job will be subject to the job posting procedure and those associates on the recall list will be given the opportunity to bid on that job. Once an associate has been recalled to the work force, he shall have the right to return to that department from where he was originally displaced when work picks up in that department, provided the workload increase is not temporary as determined by the Company. A registered letter mailed to the laid off associate's last known mailing address will constitute reasonable effort by the Company to re-engage the laid off associate. A copy of such letter will be sent to the Union. When an associate is offered an opportunity of recall from layoff and rejects it for reasons other than (1) a disability as substantiated by a physician, (2) a transfer to a different shift, or (3) is offered a labor grade which is two (2) or more labor grades lower than the associate's labor grade at the time of layoff, he shall lose all further recall rights and his seniority shall be terminated.
