Article 5 should cover all concerns regarding "Violation of Seniority" ***
Article 5
Section 1. Seniority
(a). Upon completion of the probationary period, the employee’s seniority for all purposes shall be the first day worked as a probationary employee.
Seniority shall be broken only by discharge, voluntary quit, normal retirement, or more than a two (2) year layoff, or leave,
*** (for all purposes) covers your concerns ***
*** even though it is included in the probationary language... It is in effect "from" the "first day worked" "Upon completion of the probationary period"... And "Does Not End" "Unless - Seniority is Broken by: discharge, voluntary quit, normal retirement, or more than a two (2) year layoff, or leave"
*** Seniority - Blankets the Entire Contract ***
