In the event of an employer not being agreeable to take the junior artist and/or designer or an employer not being discovered who will take the junior artist and/or designer, it shall not be competent for the junior artist and/or designer to continue in the employ of his/her employer or the employer's executors, administrators or assigns or one of them.
