[QUOTE="Maui, post: 1142662, member: 45037"] With all due respect, everyone SHOULD eventually be drafted. For the policy to be applied fairly and evenly all persons should be included in the draft (or rotation) list. I've been at 3 locations and know people from other nearby locations. I was at a location with the lowest seniority at 7-8 years and the other stations nearby had similar seniority. It would be unfair for that person to work to be drafted every month. At the large location I worked there were always enough volunteers that no one was ever drafted. At a medium sized location you could go an entire year year without being drafted outside Christmas. I fundamentally disagree with your assessment of the intention of the draft. It goes hand in hand with the volunteer list. The same people always working and getting extra hours is the flip side of this coin. The actual intention IMO is to provide legal protection for hours distribution. It is not a problem if everyone gets a chance for the extra hours, but the same people are the only ones signing up. Conversely, the ONLY fair way is to go the entire list of employees for a draft. It should be posted so that it is well known if you are next and there is generally at least a week's notice. Of course some unscrupulous managers might pull operational needs and route knowledge to deny or force hours. I think that is a slippery slope and could lead to lawsuits. Swings and PT were always excluded from the draft list. Swings covered open shifts and would work Saturday if the route did. PT can NOT be forced to work on scheduled days off. [/QUOTE]
