[QUOTE="Fredless, post: 127903, member: 5197"] The question is, since you said you're a "rookie" have you qualified per the terms of your contract out west? I know in Florida, its 30 working days to qualify as an air driver..even if its an exception driver like you. I am one also. The human resources guy told me it would take 30 weeks to qualify if I only drove on saturday's. He went on to say thats why he strongly encouraged exception air drivers to try and work during the week at the different centers in my hub so we could qualify more quickly. What I'm getting at is if its anything like cover driving is, while you're qualifying you don't mean crap at least in my hub. However, once you qualify as a cover driver you seniority date goes into effect. THEN you can start griping. So if these people that are now doing the pick ups that you were doing have theoretically LESS seniority than you but they have qualified, you don't have a gripe. Talk to your [B]business agent[/B] to get a straight answer. Mine is very personable and has done a lot for me..he almost always returns my calls the same day. P.S. - Check too about BID AIR DRIVERS working on Saturdays as they work Tuesday through Saturday at my building. If they took away your pickups you might have an even harder case. Just call your business agent he will know your specific contract throughly. I always research myself BEFORE I call aswell...if you file a greivance thats bull**** just to piss them off you are in for a war. I walk a fine line with management, and the only time I file without warning is late on pay. I tried to be a nice guy and ask them to fix it, but they never did - so I filed and they had to pay me 7 article 17's. *******s. [/QUOTE]
