I am an inside hourly employee and Saturday Air Driver. On Saturdays, after deliveries are done there are 3 drivers who work an 8 hour day to do pick ups. 1 of the 3 clearly has more seniority than me, no question. The other 2 are questionable. 1 works only 1 day a week (Saturday) The other might have more seniority than me. He claims he started 9/2003. I started 10/2004. However he left for a year to go to school on Florida and returned in 6/2007. I asked a full time steward about this and he said it was an interesting situation and referred me to a Business Agent. The BA at my local said he does not initiate quarrels between members as there is more than enough conflict between the union and management. He said I'm next in line and eventually it will be my turn.
Who is right. I believe I am entitled to an 8 hour day and to make the extra money which would make a significant difference. I don't believe someone who works 1 day a week should have seniority over me. At the same time I kind of see the BAs point of view. Any insight would be appreciated
