Employees in positions which are subject to subsidy conditioned funding shall receive written notice whenever the subsidy is discontinued. Employees who are displaced from positions which are subject to subsidy conditioned funding shall receive preferential consideration for a period not to exceed one year when applying for vacant positions within the bargaining unit as provided above. Preferential consideration shall be given only if there are no qualified bargaining unit members with layoff rights who have applied for the position.
