Special Seniority Provisions. A. An employee cannot exercise the seniority rights set forth in Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 15 and 17 of this Article in the following circumstances: (1) Against apprentices and trainees as provided for in Article XIX, or employees in training for supervisory, sales or service positions. (The Company shall furnish to the Union the names of these employees.) (2) Against employees assigned to temporary assignments (as defined in the Wage Article). Should there be an employee reduced from the seniority classification to which the employee is temporarily assigned to fill requirements for additional workforce (not to replace an absent employee, etc.) then in such case the temporary assignment referred to in this paragraph will be limited to five (5) consecutive working days. (3) During the annual inventory and vacation shutdown period the total period of time involved shall not exceed a total of two (2) weeks. (4) During temporary unscheduled layoffs which do not extend beyond one (1) week. (5) During a reduction or layoff which results from a work stoppage in violation of Article X, Strikes and Lockouts; or during a reduction or layoff of ten (10) working days or less because of an unforeseen event such as a power failure, curtailment of operations due to any directive from a governmental environment control agency, a machine or mechanical breakdown, a disruption of shipping facilities, unavailability of material at the factory beyond the control of the Company, or any other unforeseen event such as a flood, fire, or explosion, or the threat of a flood, fire or explosion. B. An employee who has received fewer than eight (8) available and/or compensated hours in any regular workday because of a temporary unscheduled layoff, as set out in this Section 4-A-(4), will be paid the difference, if any, between their available and/or compensated hours for that day and eight (8) hours for such regular workday, provided, however, that this provision does not apply to temporary layoffs as set out in this Section 4-A-(3) and (5). Such payment will be at the rate of the last operation performed prior to the temporary layoff. C. An employee with seniority who is subject to layoff but is retained in the bargaining unit due to qualifications will be considered as having been laid off at the time the employee was retained out of line of seniority in the application of the provisions of Sections 5, 7, and 8 of Article XIV. D. When the major portion of an employee's daily task is permanently transferred to another department within the bargaining unit, the employee(s) who normally perform such task(s) shall be given first opportunity to transfer with the work to the new department.
