Should the work week be reduced to 32 hours then employees will be paid at 110% of the hourly rates in Schedule "A". The above stated premiums of 10% and 20% will not apply if there is available a subsidy such as E.I. sponsored "work sharing" that pays the employee equal or more. Should there be available some such subsidy that pays less than the specified premium then the appropriate premium will be reduced by the amount of the subsidy. This special provision for a reduced work week shall not affect any employee's right to displace under the provisions of Article 11 of this agreement. In the case of a lay-off, per Article 11 (i.e., the least senior employee is laid off) the above mentioned premium will not apply. Since employees and the Union would normally prefer that the required number of employees are permitted to work full time, the Company agrees that repeated one or two day lay-offs will not be implemented so as to circumvent this intent.
