Temporary Employees and Contractors. 1. In the event of a layoff, regular employees shall be retained rather than laid off from active employment in preference to contractors where the employee has the current skill and ability to do the available work at comparable efficiency and cost to the Company. This judgment shall be made by the Company in its discretion which discretion shall not be arbitrary, discriminatory or exercised in bad faith. The Company shall not be required to violate any contract to give employees this preference, but shall conclude such obligations at the earliest legal opportunity.
