Members of the bargaining unit impacted by the impending layoff will be notified by Human Resources and provided a list of positions they are eligible to bump within their current wage grade. The Association may request to meet with a designated College representative to discuss the pending layoff within the above noted thirty (30) working day period. As part of the discussions relative to layoff procedures, the Association may provide the College with suggestions or recommendations for reduction.
