Also, the employee shall receive severance pay as outlined in Article 9.4.3. (b) The Company shall, in writing, state the nature of the change contemplated and the number of jobs likely to be affected. Upon receipt of such notice by the Union, the parties shall arrange a meeting, or meetings, for the purpose of conducting discussions which will achieve an understanding to assure that any hardship to the employees affected shall be minimized; this shall be done by providing wherever possible, alternative employment within the Company for employees whose jobs have been eliminated or by joint efforts on the part of the Company and the Union to obtain employment outside the Company, and/or by any other means that the parties may, by mutual agreement, decide upon. The Company will provide such employees reasonable time off, during their normal work week without loss of salary, to be interviewed for positions outside the Company.
