In the event there is no one junior to them the employee can exercise his/her seniority to displace a junior six (6) hour employee in another six (6) hour classification.

The best place to start in getting your answers is asking your Business Agent,

You need to ask your Steward or BA, but let me ask you a question.

Are you moving from Second Day Air to Next Day Air or vice versa?

If not, it looks like they have 10 days to put you on your new job. It is not your fault that they cannot train you until November 28th.

The problem is that it may be too late to grieve it now. You usually only have 5 days from the date you knew about something to grieve it.

You only had 5 days from Halloween to grieve not being put on your new job. It now may be an untimely grievance.

Article III Section B

Excluding Peak Season (November –December), prime vacation (July –August), and Section friend of this Article, part-time employees with one (1) year or more seniority will be allowed to move from part-time job to part-time job on a minimum of 50 percent of available openings, by seniority and written request, to be limited to two (2) moves per year. Six hour jobs will only be filled by current part-time employees from the existing six hour transfer lists and not hired from the outside. Six-hour transfers will be posted electronically through the BIDX system. Part-time employees will be permitted to select the transfers by seniority. Six-hour transfers will be posted midweek and taken down the following midweek. The transfer will be awarded no later than ten (10) days from the transfer coming down. Six hour and three-hour transfer awards will be posted electronically through the BIDX system. If the employee is awarded a position and does not accept the position, it will count as an awarded-transfer in reference to the above stated two (2) moves per year. Employees will be allowed five working days to disqualify after assignment to a new position.

The other issue is that if you are moving between Next Day and Second Day, the move is controlled by labor and may not happen within 10 days so as not to disrupt the business. Again, though, you should have grieved it when they told you they will not move you until the 28th.

Article III Section friend

Movement of employees between shifts (Next Day Air and Second Day Air) on a limited basis shall be controlled by the labor manager so as not to interfere with the operation of the business. There shall be no movement in November and December or during the vacation hire period.

Talk to your Steward. If he/she cannot answer it, or get an answer for you, they don't belong being a Steward. In this case, contact your BA personally.

And here you have Fred's 6 hours full time employees. That's some real good jobs that can help a family. Looks like a concession fest. Overtime after 6 1/2 hours. That sucks. Good one flip flop

Are you saying under this 5 day scenario, that the Company can now theoretically never put this employee in their new bid job if they choose to?

I typically agree with much of what you post, but I don't think that applies here.

Reality however, even if grieved, is that the employee will probably be put in their job before the grievance process plays out.
With this in mind, I would definitely grieve it today, in hopes of unclogging the log jam a bit quicker.

No. The Company still has to put him on the job.

I am saying that the Company told him that he would not be put on the job until November 28. This is far longer than the 10 day period the contract specifies.

He has 5 days to grieve this November 28th date from when he was told about his new job start date.

He can grieve it now, but don't be surprised if the grievance is ruled untimely. He will then still be put on his new job on the 28th.

If not, he can grieve it, within 5 days, if he is not put on his new job on the 28th. The day he was told he would start his job.

It may not matter. If he is moving from Next Day to Second Day, or vice versa, the 10 days does not come into play.
