Hey guys, I need some help/advice.
I work in Ontario California, in the hub not the airport side. I had worked for preload for just over 9 years and recently transferred to Intra-sort (at night, same building) just to get away from those early morning hours and also to free up my day to find a 2nd job. I ended up on a PD loading trailers, which kind of sucks but then I noticed EVERYONE in my new area has <5 years. EVERYONE. I have nearly double the seniority as the PT that follows me, great right?
Nope, management has been trying to tell me that I do no have 'belt seniority' which I know does not exist. Also, Ive heard people mention 'area seniority' which is where my problem starts. Do these variations of seniority exist, in any way, in our contract or supplement?
From what I understand, area seniority means building seniority, not shift/sort seniority WHICH DO NOT EXIST, correct? And since I DID NOT TRANSFER buildings, and only changed shifts, my 9.5 years of seniority are just as valid correct?
Please, if someone can clear this up for me, or explain it a little better, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
