Am i entitled to be at my grievance hearing?
Depends.So i do not get to be involved in my own grievance?
What is the nature of the grievance.On what?
Sorry. Seniority wins.A less than 8 hr air job was awarded to a preloader who has more senority than me by 4 months. I have over 10 years as an air driver. I said it should be awarded as a driving job and not a preload job.
I was told i lost and he got it
I understand that. Bit he has more building seniority than you. Maybe you will get lucky and he won't qualify. Then they will have to put the bid back up again.I have more senority in the air driving classification. Its not a preload job
I have more senority in the air driving classification. Its not a preload job
Sorry. Seniority wins.
Your union dues give you the right to file a grievance. What information could you have added to this case? Your BA can handle this without you.Guess im screwed. Didnt get to be there for the grievance and still have to pay union dues!
Now if they was trying to fire you or suspend you, that's a different story.Your union dues give you the right to file a grievance. What information could you have added to this case? Your BA can handle this without you.

They said ihad to run air so they heard the grievance without me. I was unable to argue my side.
You are not entitled to be at a grievance hearing during your work hours.
So i do not get to be involved in my own grievance?

No S* they would try .Absolutely.
Did you request, to be present ?
Grievance hearings, should not be scheduled during a members working hours.
(And I could provide a wall of text on this issue)
Communication with your BA is essential.
Not really.
I would never here a case like this.... without the member being present.
Trying to terminate or discipline an employee "off the clock" ??
UPS would sure try.
