Xxxxxxx Layoff/Discharge. The relevant Contractor agrees to notify the appropriate Union twenty-four (24) hours before the layoff of a xxxxxxx, except in the case of disciplinary discharge for just cause. If the xxxxxxx is protected against such layoff by the provisions of the applicable MLA, such provisions shall be recognized when the xxxxxxx possesses the necessary qualifications to perform the remaining work.
