Sept of 2012 I was offered a position of TCD driver, but was quickly disqualified because of a ticket I received on 10/19/11. The problem I'm having is in March of 2012 I was given the air pickup driver job, and im still currently doing. The two jobs are mirror images of each other far as qualifications go. I had a problem with the disqualification so I wrote up a grievance, and the union got involved. The union felt that they had no right to disqualify me and say it was safe for me to be a Air driver, but not a TCD Driver. The company played this back and forth game finally agreeing to start me after 10/19/12. Yeah that's what I thought what did I achieve. Basically since then they have given me a start date every single week, but when it comes time for me to show up for work. The center manager either puts me off for another week saying he has too many to train or they won't answer my calls or texts. Week after week switching center after center, It's the same story manager after manager, they have repeatedly skipped over my seniority and absolutely will not train me. The union knows and sees what they are doing and says we'll have to take it to arbitration in January. How can they lie and deliberately not higher me, and just skip over and disregard my union rights as if I have none.
