unsubsidized employee or otherwise caused an involuntary reduction in 
its workforce with the intention of filling the vacancy so created with 
the WtW participant; and,
    (3) If the employer has caused an involuntary reduction to less 
than full time in hours of any employee in the same or substantially 
equivalent job within the same organizational unit.

displacement may file a complaint pursuant to Sec. 645.270 of this part
