[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1532994, member: 198"] Here is ours laid off procedure..... [I]"(B) In the event of layoff of any full-time employee, the affected employee gas the right to exercise his/her seniority in the following manner: 1. Must displace the junior employee within their regular classification. 2. Any other junior full-time employee in another classification or part-time work."[/I] Currently a bid driver that has their route cut would have to bump the lowest senior driver and that would likely be the worst route in the center for that day. I've never seen that happen in my center though because on the rare occasion a bid route has been cut the driver just takes the day off. And it's never been more than one bid route. And when that route was cut we had a slew of people just take the day off and all of us unassigned drivers filled in their routes. I believe its done this way because it's a pain in the ass for management to force actual layoffs in a center that only has a reload and preload. It would he a logistical nightmare manning wise when people demand their 8 hours. The new language that forces the company to bid all routes could change things though. There will always be bid drivers that have their route cut because (for some reason) there are more than a few routes that are only in the lineup a few days a week being bid.
