Dock worker pushed out of his shift

I'm a part time dock worker at UPS Freight. Been working 8 to 24 hours a week for the past 11 months and am about to get my benefits. In the past week we had a new driver transfer to our hub, we already have too many drivers, and if a driver does not have a route he can work the dock and push us out of our shift. I have not worked for the past week because drivers are working the dock. What can I do?

Are you working inbound or outbound? Is someone on the opposite shift getting hours that has less seniority then you do? If so file on seniority. You will find that a full time driver has more seniority then a part time dock worker, Im sorry you have to hear that but that is the case.

You can bump someone else on another shift or even possibly in another building if one exists in your local union

same at mine....full time has seniority over part time... but like someone said you should be able to bump someone with less part-time seniority on a different shift if there is one available.
