[QUOTE="gandydancer, post: 463602, member: 9310"] A preferred job is a preferred job if the part time employee who wants to bid for it prefers it. Unskilled pickoff (Preload pickoff used to require detailed address knowledge, but with PAS it may not be, anymore) is treated around here as an undifferentiated loader assignment, but sweeping is not a load position. E.g., a 22.3 is entitled to one "soft" shift (ODC, HiVal, Irreg driver, HazMat responder, Smalls, sweeper, revenue recovery auditor...) and one "hard" (unload, load, main sort, secondary sort, Smalls dump...) , and the important thing is to note that sweeper and load cannot be the same job since they are in different categories. As to whether you can bump someone, that depends. I don't know what "came back from LoA" means, but if you are laid off from a bid job you can bump someone with less seniority out of a bid job. E.g., I was laid off from ODC and bumped into Revenue Recovery on my first shift and if they hadn't had a vacancy someone who had bid into RR with less seniority would have been bumped out (and when management cut a RR position a few months later, someone was). If "came back from LoA" has something to do with an injury, that's a grey area that has to be addressed by local agreement. We have some ft inside that are reserved for injured drivers. They keep their ft seniority when making that transition and I believe they can bump in wherever they want, according to that seniority. If the company and the Local agree, you're SOL. In any grievance the party with standing to grieve is the Local, not you. You can bring a failure-to-represent suit, but you won't win, since the courts give unions wide discretion in deciding what is in the interests of their members. Contrary to chopstic, the right to be put on a list for a preferred job MAY give you the right to bump someone already performing that job. If the person(s) currently performing that job bid into their position(s) they have a right to continue in their bid positions until the next scheduled rebid, if any, barring a forced bump situation. But if they are performing their jobs only because they were assigned those jobs by management (which seems to be the case with Lartize) the fact that the position is now a preferred one (because some parttimer now says so) means that it must be put up for bid NOW, and the more senior employee will win with no advantage to the employer-assigned current occupant.
