Where no vacancy for which the employee is qualified occurs, notice of lay-off may be given. 13.13 When it has been determined that lay-offs are to take place, the Employer and the Union shall meet to discuss the lay-off and to identify those employees to be laid off following the principle that employees shall be laid off in inverse order of seniority. Employees so displaced shall be allowed to replace an employee with less seniority in a position in which he/she is qualified to perform the work. Employees who are identified for lay-off based on bargaining unit wide seniority shall have the option of displacing an employee with less seniority as stated above or accepting lay-off. Failure to exercise such option within five (5) working days from notice of lay-off will result in lay-off of the employee concerned.
