I've got an interesting problem that is brewing in my center and I would like to have my fellow Teamsters give me some ideas on how to deal with the situation. We have a feeder driver in our center that is going to bid back into PKG CAR on the next inside bid posting. So this will leave his feeder job "open" for bid. We have a washer/porter/evening local sort/ Feeder qualified (fills in for the feeder driver vacations/his vacations picked to coinside with the feeder drivers so he can't be on vacation when a feeder driver is gone) employee that has maybe a year or so of seniority.
I have close to 29 years of service and have asked the center mgr dozens of times to be feeder qualified (which he declines my request - because it cost too much to train). I have my DOT doubles endorsed drivers license and have went to semi driving school.
Here is the problem. My center mgr tells me that this vacation fill in with less seniority will "win" the bid over me because he "has been to feeder school and has experience".
TELL ME THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT! Were would you go to start to get information/FACTS on this? What would you do??
(Thanks for the help)
