[QUOTE="turdburglar, post: 1052228, member: 41722"] Here is what I got so far from the Southern Supplement: Article 48: (B) Seniority will be on a Center basis and by job classification. What does it mean by "on a Center basis"? I know that multiple centers are run out of the same building where I work, so will my seniority cut across classifications for the center where I work, or will classification prevail? Article 49: (friend) Seniority shall prevail for extra work and the work shall be assigned by seniority within the classification and work area to those who are qualified, present and available. However, the part that is unclear is this: Article 49, Section 4: Classifications as referred to in this Section shall be Loader/Unloader, Sorter, Small Sorter, Pre-Loader, Car Washer, Porter, Inspection Lane Repair, Shifter, Incompatible Sorter and Clerks. What is the difference between a loader/unloader and a pre-loader? Namely, what is the difference between a pre-loader and a loader? I know the difference between an unloader and a pre-loader, but what is a loader if it is classified the same as an unloader? If a loader is different from a pre-loader, then I may have trouble filing grievances for seniority for other pre-loaders getting more hours than me, since technically we would be in two different job classifications. However, if "loader" is just another name for "pre-loader", then they would be considered the same classification and I could file for seniority violations. I will ask these questions to the steward tomorrow if no one has answered here, but it would be helpful if a steward could help me out with these questions. Thanks in advance. By the way, would not all of this be irrelevant if there are supervisors working in the building at all? Or is the language specifying that I cannot be sent home so that a supervisor can unload? I thought this language was more along the lines of "bargaining unit employees cannot be sent home if there are supervisors working in the building for whatever reason". Because, after all, the supervisors working language in the contract calls for bargaining unit employees to be used before supervisors begin working (unless bargaining unit employees are not available). I am available to work for as long as the preload operation needs me. "...nor shall the Employer send any bargaining unit employees home and then have such employee's work performed by a supervisor or other employees of the Employer who is not a member of the bargaining unit."
