The contract likely has a required minimum of senior clerks and they are saying that to keep to the contract, they must maintain only the minimum number of senior clerks. This was likely to protect seniors from being let go just for being old, so they had a minimum to maintain and by golly they were going to maintain that minimum number because that was all that was required.
