[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 140267, member: 1957"] Why can't your "relative" SPEAK FOR HIMSELF so nothing gets lost in the translation from us, through you, to him? What a deal he is getting (sarcasm intended)! They are trying to fire him as a sorter but then they say they love him and want him to switch departments? In none of your posts have you mentioned what the business agent (the guy above the steward over at the union hall) has said about this. The possibility exists that the company just wanted your relative to spend his holiday all torn up inside (over a frickin' $8 an hour job) and all will be forgotten come monday night. I am still curious why there, apparently, was not a local hearing at the building to try and hash through this. It appears the company is relenting by offering him a transfer to another department. I have seen a yard shifter that was fired for having a roll away and IMMEDIATELY rehired back into the hub. So, in a twisted way, this may be a blessing for your "relative". One could say the company wants him and realizes his potential but the only way they can get him into the department that they want him in is to "fire" him and then rehire him into the desired dept. By doing this none of his union brothers can bitch because the bidding process was bypassed. So.......there may be a silver lining in the dark cloud. Besides, sorting is hard on the body with all that overhead work hossing the heavy packages up to the overhead transfer belts. Things happen for a reason........ [/QUOTE]
