[QUOTE="IzzyTheNose, post: 1433686, member: 15470"] This. In my experience, it's always better to talk to the supervisor who is violating seniority. In most instances they're understanding. But a lot of this depends on what type of person you're dealing with, and how assertive you are with argument. And know the difference between assertive and antagonistic. Just clearly explain to the guy that you need the hours, and you have more seniority. If he again insists that it's been going on for a certain length of time, simply tell him that fact is irrelevant. You have more seniority, and you would like for him to follow the contract. If he still resists, or gives you more static, just tell him your next step is to inform a steward, and you'll be filing a grievance for violating your seniority, and for the time lost when someone with less seniority had an earlier start time. Chase that with "I honestly don't want to go that route" At that point, unless he's a total maroon, which is absolutely possible, he should relinquish his position and see the situation for what it is: not worth his trouble. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
