22.3 advice

[Northbaypkg]

Either that or employee A didn't meet the qualification of the bid.

True. But from his story he makes it sound like both are able to do the job, it's just that one works harder than the other and doesn't ever give management a hard time.

Good point. But far too often people think they are in the know, when in reality there is something hidden they didn't know about.

If I'm thinking right seems like the very few 22.3 guys at my center come in and fuel package cars, wash them, park them and then work the preload sorting or work as shifters out in the yard, not a bad job from what I've seen. These guys are the ones I see walk around looking busy never knowing if their actually doing much haha.

Really wanted to crack a union joke, but I don't feel like reading a thousand posts taking it seriously and calling me management scum.

Its not something hard to achieve here. Haha

 

[GetTacosOrDieTrying]

Well we will see. I just handed in my 22.3 form. Maybe in 10 years I'll let y'all know if I finally got it.

I'm usually pretty happy. Maybe that's why my guys ask so many questions.

Though I have to admit I like when people ask questions. It means they are paying attention.

Yeah, no doubt about it. If you are 22.3 and keep moving, even if it's in circles, you're good.

Is that the Orion team trying to act like they know what they are doing?

Not 22.3 yet but the paper work is put in for it.

Are 22.3 jobs worth trying to get?
I work in a 24hour hub. I sort on Twi. I know it can be a wait to even get your name pulled especially since I only have 1.5 years seniority atm. There are some guys that are 22.3 that unload on my shift then load on mid which sounds like a horrible combo. Do they tell you the second job when the offer comes up?

Good luck, I went feeders before they called me for a 22.3. It took about 13 years just for that. Your best bet would be to go into package, get full time seniority then bid out. At least we can do that here, not sure about your area.

 

[GetTacosOrDieTrying]

The only way that would happen is if employee A is so ignorant he doesn't notice that the bid he signed was filled by a lesser seniority person. Even then, it wouldn't be like those are the only two folks that signed it. Someone in there would notice that a lower seniority person got it and file a grievance with a quickness. Management would have to be real gutsy and stupid to try to get away with something like that.

Well i can only speak for myself.

best thing i can do now is keep working and wait for turn. i have low seniority not at the bottom but i'm sure i'll be waiting awhile.

I certainly would not want you speaking on my behalf.

[Distraction74]

Rather then start a new thread I figure I'd post my question here. I'm a FT swing driver with a little under a year of seniority. My hub has posted six new 22.3 jobs in the past few weeks. The last one that went up I was the only FTer to sign. Yesterday I went to HR to ask about it and was told that I have to put a letter of intent in first and have 1 year FT. Does this sound right? I asked my steward but he doesn't know. I'm under the central supplement. Any input would be appreciated

That's a shame.
