ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW PLANTS
(95) For twenty-four months after production begins in a new plant (including a non-represented plant), the Corporation will give preference to the applications of laid off employees having seniority in other plants over applications of individuals who have not previously worked for the Corporation, provided their previous experience in the Corporation shows that they can qualify for the job.

[See Par. (56), (64)]
[See App. K III(C)15]
