[QUOTE="hondo, post: 904743, member: 8661"] In my amateur opinion: [LIST=1] [*]Yes, Art.40 Sec.1(9) now applies to the PT air driver. The members/stewards/union reps missed their chance to protect that FT job by failing to grieve it in a timely manner (or it was grieved and lost). [*]So, yes. Until that PT air driver vacates that job, there is [B]ZERO[/B] chance of it being combined into combo. (FT [U][B]or[/B][/U] less than 8) job. And even when the job is vacated, it is now highly unlikely it will ever be turned into a combo. job. [/LIST] This issue sticks in my proverbial craw, because nearly the exact same scenario happened in a bldg. I worked in. None of the stewards or union reps. knew about the PT air shuttle job up for bid, or didn't know that line in the contract. All I knew was I was 1 day away from winning the bid, until a 16 year PT employee signed the list. Seniority prevails, of course. In that building, that could have easily been converted to a FT air driver, or even a less-than-8 combo job. The company would have fought it, I'm sure, but the work was/is there. At the time, I was more concerned with trying to understand the Hours of Service regulations (to see if I could work that job), getting my driver's abstract from DMV, and getting my own DOT physical (just to make sure I passed).
