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.

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.

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 .

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.
