Introduction

T h e m a i n t e n a n c e of individual job security u n d e r the t e r m s of collective bargaining

m e n t opportunities decline. T h e possibility of seasonal sl u m p s , sporadic peri od s of r e d u c e d
output, or a generalized bu siness re c e s s i o n is not ov e r l o o k e d b y either union or m a n a g e m e n t
in contract negotiation, e v e n at the height of prosperity.
In addition to these ev e r - p r e s e n t
p r o b l e m s or fears, s o m e unions h a v e in recent y e a r s sought safeguards against the e m p l o y ­
m e n t effects of industrial m e r g e r s, consolidations, plant relocations, a n d technological changes.
W h e n e m p l o y m e n t opportunities within a n es tablishment decline, the p r o b l e m of a d ­
justing the w o r k force arises.
S o m e action either to forestall or m i n i m i z e the i m p a c t of
a n i m m e d i a t e layoff m a y be required b y the t e r m s of the l a b o r - m a n a g e m e n t a g r e e m e n t .
Th i s action m a y take the f o r m of restrictions or prohibitions o n o v e r t i m e w o r k or extra
shifts.
T h e contract m a y b a n the hiring of n e w w o r k e r s , require the di s m i s s a l of certain
categories of w o r k e r s s u c h as t e m p o r a r y or pr obationary e m p l o y e e s , or specify a c h a n g e
in contracting-out practices.
If s u ch m e a s u r e s p r o v e inadequate, the e m p l o y e r m u s t consider m o r e drastic steps.
T h e l a b o r - m a n a g e m e n t a g r e e m e n t m a y spell out a specific c o u r s e of action or it m a y offer
a choice of alternatives. S o m e d e g r e e of union participation m a y be required b y the a g r e e ­
m e n t o n a n y or all aspects of the p r o b l e m . T w o principal types of a d j u s t m e n t a r e possible:
(l) T o distribute the available w o r k evenly a m o n g the w o r k e r s (w ork-sharing) or (2) to lay
off w o r k e r s .
T h e layoff p r o c e d u r e m a y e n c o m p a s s a r r a n g e m e n t s w h i c h provide for a r e ­
duction in the a v e r a g e w o r k i n g h o u r s prior to layoff, a n d m a y also allow the e m p l o y e e being
laid off to displace or " b u m p " a junior e m p l o y e e .
T h e o r d e r of layoff a n d recall to w o r k

CHAPTER

2.

- TH E LAYOFF PROCEDURE

N o r m a l l y , a n e m p l o y e r schedules production o n the basis of d e m a n d , as reflected
either in definite o r d e r s or in anticipated m a r k e t d e v e l o p m e n t s .
T h o u g h stable production
is d e si re d b y both parties to a collective bargaining a g r e e m e n t , slack pr od uc ti on periods
m a y occur.
Accordingly, a p r o c e d u r e for reducing the w o r k force during s u ch pe riods is
a n i m po rt an t subject for collective bargaining.
In force reductions, e m p l o y e r s a r e c o n c e r n e d with the retention of w o r k e r s w h o can
handle the available w o r k m o s t efficiently with a m i n i m u m of retraining. Consid er at io ns of
e m p l o y e e m o r a l e require that reductions in force be m a d e in a n equitable m a n n e r . W o r k e r s
a n d their representatives also desire a fair, easily understood, a n d impartially a d m i n i s t e r e d
s y s t e m of layoffs. A n o t h e r union objective is to safeguard e m p l o y m e n t opportunities a n d in­
c o m e for as m a n y m e m b e r s as possible. T h e a i m s of both m a n a g e m e n t a n d labor a r e r e ­
flected in the variety of clauses negotiated o n the subject of layoff.
U n i o n P a r t i c i p a t i o n in L a y o f f s

T h e right to lay off w o r k e r s is a m o n g the traditional prerogatives of m a n a g e m e n t .
U n d e r the t e r m s of a g r e e m e n t s w h i c h grant the union a voice in handling aspects of the layoff
p r o b l e m , the exercise of this right b e c o m e s a joint undertaking.
Co nt ra ct s v a r y in the d e g r e e of un io n participation w h i c h they provide. T h e u n i o n 1s
role m a y be passive, with n o participation indicated by the contract.
The agreement m a y
require the e m p l o y e r to consult with the union o n layoff policy, but r e s e r v e s the final d e ­
cision to the e m p l o y e r . U n d e r the t e r m s of s o m e a g r e e m e n t s , h o w e v e r , layoff policies are
to be d e t e r m i n e d th r o u g h negotiations w h e n layoffs a r e i m m i n e n t , allowing the union a n equal
voice in m a k i n g final decisions.
A contract m a y pr ovide that w o r k i n g h o u r s be r e d u c e d automatically, in lieu of a n
i m m e d i a t e layoff, in the event of slack w o r k .
If a choice of alternatives is not stipulated,
h o w e v e r , consideration of the union viewpoint m a y be m a d e obligatory by the contract. O n l y
rarely is the choice left entirely to the union.
O t h e r e x a m p l e s of the w a y s in w h i c h unions participate in the layoff p r o c e d u r e are
p r e s e n t e d in later sections of this report.
29 • Layoffs not c o n s i d e r e d p e r m a n e n t until d i s c u s s e d with the union
. . . E x c e p t as h e re in provided, pr o m o t i o n s , de mo ti on s, transfers, or layoffs of
e m p l o y e e s c o v e r e d b y this a g r e e m e n t m a d e b y the c o m p a n y without discussion in a d v a n c e
with designated unio n representatives will not be co ns i d e r e d p e r m a n e n t , until so discussed.

R e e m p l o y m e n t rights ar e a m a t t e r of k e e n c o n c e r n to a laid-off w o r k e r .
When
c o m p a r a b l e job opportunities with other e m p l o y e r s are scarce, the w o r k e r is particularly
anxious to return to the position f r o m w h i c h he w a s laid off. E v e n w h e n jobs ar e relatively
plentiful, there is generally a strong desire to return to the job w h e r e p e r s o n a l relationships
h a v e b e e n de ve l o p e d a n d e c o n o m i c rights, such as seniority status a n d p e n s i o n credits, h a v e
b e en accumulated.
T h e m e t h o d of recalling w o r k e r s enters into collective bargaining negotiations.
In s o m e a g r e e m e n t s , p r o c e d u r e s ar e e n u m e r a t e d in detail; in others, only general guides
are pr o v i d e d a n d practices evolved in prev io us layoff ex pe ri en ce s ar e e m p l o y e d . W h e r e no
m e n t i o n of recall is m a d e in the contract, it is likely that a definite p r o c e d u r e has b e e n
devised to handle this im po r t a n t p e r s o n n e l p r o b l e m , or the nature of the business virtually
fixes the recall pr o c e d u r e .

Order of Recall

T h e m o s t c o m m o n r e e m p l o y m e n t p r o c e d u r e is to recall w o r k e r s in r e v e r s e o r d e r
of layoff. Th is generally m e a n s application of the basic seniority provisions of the contract,
with a n y qualifications rega rd in g skill or physical fitness applied in layoff also applied in
reemployment.
In s o m e instances, these seniority provisions m a y be m o d i fi ed to insure that
recalled e m p l o y e e s ar e capable of p e r f o r m i n g the w o r k available at the t i m e production is
expanded.

156.

O r d e r of layoff a n d recall d e t e r m i n e d solely o n the basis of length of service (straight

R e d u c t i o n of the w o r k i n g forces shall be a c c o m p l i s h e d by the layoff of e m p l o y e e s
b y seniority in ea c h w o r k classification; a n d in r e e m p l o y m e n t , the last e m p l o y e e laid

W h e n it b e c o m e s n e c e s s a r y to re d u c e the w o r k i n g force, e m p l o y e e s shall be laid

the r e v e r s e o r d e r of their layoff, providing in e a c h ca se that the e m p l o y e e with the

In s o m e cases, seniority is
