This is not my first post. I've been a member of the site for over ten years and decided to change screen name due to some brown nosing hourlies in my center as well as some management spying. Anyway.....
Quite a few of our full-time drivers have been working during their vacations this year. A bunch of the lower seniority full-time drivers and part-time cover drivers have decided to try and stop this to avoid layoffs and loss of decent vacation weeks only to have those people come in and work during them. We are in the Southern Supplement and I can't find anything in it, nor the Master, that actually states that we can't work during our vacations (unless sold back or choosing to work the option week) but everyone that I've asked says that its a contract violation. We've all given up on our steward and alternate. One is part of the problem and the other....well....could care less. Our local says to file but based on what? Maybe I'm just not reading the contract right. Can someone please elaborate?
