More people have wasted time in this thread then focusing on the point of my questions. ONCE AGAIN I am not complaining about working Saturdays, I am simply asking basically why The most senior driver in our center doesn't just get scheduled for the Saturdays he wants to work that I do not want to.
AS A GDamn GROWN MAN, YOU'VE WASTED MORE TIME ON THIS THREAD THAN ANYONE. Your question was answered. Twice, maybe more, I'm not going back to read all the crap again. I think you are more of the problem than you think. Let's re-cap:
- You've been there almost a year and actually HAVE to ask these questions
- You pay dues, so you "assume" you are part of the union but really have no friend*n clue right?
- You have no idea if you are FT or PT
- You seem to think you are "on call". We don't have that, you are either scheduled or not and you would know that on Friday by end of shift
- You claim to not know how the seniority process works
WTF is the disconnect here man? Let's try this again.
You are a low seniority driver who most likely gets laid off on M. You are scheduled to work Sat BECAUSE you did not get 5 punches in during the week. The senior driver is not scheduled because he does not have to work, he chooses to and you LET him. Just because he is the senior driver, he is not entitled to work nor can he bump you if you don't have 5 punches.
IF THE JUNIOR DRIVER TO YOU IS NOT BEING FORCED TO WORK SAT, THEN FILE A friend* grievance and make them work him.
Then above all else, get a friggin clue
