IS this a combo job or what that is vacant.did someone in management directly tell you these things or is this just hear say.If this is a combo job good luck getting it posted,file on it and you can wait at the back of the line with the near 100 grievances on 22.3 jobs that still have not been heard yet.

Yes as they have done this in our building. We had a FT AM clerk/PM car wash retire and they have not filled her position.

Wrong. Because it happened in your building doesn't mean it was proper or contractually viable. The trick here is whether the work still exists and how they fill the positions. If they hire or bid two part time jobs to perform the work, then you grieve under art. 22.2 not 22.3. It will be a long drawn out battle, as are all grievances, but a worthwhile fight. All 22.3 jobs are assigned a number and can be moved to another location in order to maintain the jobs provided for in past and present contracts, but only through attrition. They cannot take work being done by a full timer and break it into 2 or more part time jobs. The key to this arguement is in the last sentences of art. 22.2 which marries it to art. 22.3. Good luck and stay the course G Wolf.

all these things your saying they cant do they are doing and getting away with it.all the grievances in the world dont matter if the union does not stand behind them,i wish what you were saying was that easy and justice would be done for all the 22.3 that are out of a job but its just not.Just look at the docket results from tdu,not one grievance even heard much less decided on pertaining to article 22.3 jobs ,hall was quoted saying "now is not the time to take 22.3 cases to arbitration",why are we talking about arbitration all we want is one case to be heard.

i think they have 45 days before they have to post it. if they don't grieve it.

We've had people out on comp, fired, retired and none have been posted here in Local 25. THis past bid my job was eliminated; different circumstance but same outcome - another job gone.

There should have been similar language negotiated for the 22.3s and just a much smaller number of jobs to maintain as a give-back, however that is dreaming.

Unless the position is eliminated it needs to be posted for bid. If it is not file a grievance.

The contract says, at least here in NE, any of those top-driver rate inside jobs or FT shuttle jobs to be maintained. They can't take a FT job that has existed for 20 years and split it into two or eliminate it altogether. You know more than I do about it, it can obviously be eliminated if UPS goes bully, but it SHOULD be an easy grievance to win, no?
