A. The Employer agrees in principle that senior employees covered by this Agreement may select their preferred shifts when vacancies occur provided it is practical or possible without impairing the efficiency of the work or the operation of the building.

Where factors other than length of service are relatively equal, an employee with the greatest length of service shall be given preference,

B. When used in this Agreement in connection with layoff, decrease of the working force, recall, selection of shifts when vacancies occur, and choice of vacation period, seniority shall mean an employee's length of service within a particular job classification in the bargaining unit covered by this Agreement.
