When such a reduction of workforce is required, the Employer may attempt to adjust staffing levels by canvassing employee interest in filling vacant positions, retirement or voluntary layoff. If further reductions are necessary, such work force reductions shall be made in reverse order of seniority provided that employees remaining are qualified and able to do the available work as per clause 16.06.
