Hey guys I'm a preloader in NC. My center hasn't had any volume come in since Wednesday due to snow so I didn't work Thurday or today (Fri). However, I heard that our local sort will be working tonight. I'm wondering if I'm able to bump someone with less seniority on the local sort based on Article 63 Section 7 - Reduction in Work Force which reads:
-"After a one (1) day layoff, part-time employees who are removed from their jobs as a result of a reduction in the work force may elect to displace the most junior part-time employees in the building if qualified"
I am qualified as I worked local sort for a year prior to switching to preload and usually work local sort a couple days a week also when people call in. I have been laid off from preload two days so far this year although both of those days I was called in and worked local sort. I'm unsure whether those two days counted as layoff days. Does it mean layoff from just my shift or an entire day layoff? Since there hasn't been any preload work the past two days due to weather, am I able to bump someone with less seniority on local sort tonight?
Thanks in advance. I appreciate your responses
