Ok im gonna try to make this a simple as i possibly can so i ll paint the picture with dates and status with the company,
In Nov 06 was hired on as a fulltime SEASONAL package driver.
Was Layed off on 12/26/06
Was rehired 2/25/07 Fulltime Permanent Package driver
Was Disqualified 5/17/07. I was basically bought in to cover vacations during this period of time, but was told that i had performance issue as to the reasoning for me being DQ ed. In the 79 day employed i only worked 37 days which means i was close to making my 40day Probation.
Then Bought back in 11/15/07 As a Seasonal Package driver
Layed off again 12/28/07. I really didnt understand why i was being considered seasonal again since i had already been with the company before during the permanent period, but i said to myself that i would take this issue up at a later date since i was so glad to get my foot back in the door.
Then on 1/15/08 was bought back in as a parttime Air driver
Then on 3/19/08 was bought back for Full time Package driving again!
As of today I am still driving having made my 40day probation back in May. So that makes my Seniority date 3/19/08. The only issue i have is can i regain my seniority from my first stint as a permanent driver back on 2/25/07. The reason i want to address this is for 2 reasons.There are atleast5 new drivers in mycenter this year who weren't here last peak, and now im losing out on vacation and workmn comp bids to them. and 2 with my Seniority date at 3/19/08 i still have 2 full years to go to get to top scale where as if i can get my seniority back from 2/25/07 i would be there in 10mths.
Would any of you know how i can present my case to the union and then on to HR?
