[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 192112, member: 5053"] Stop looking, it's not in there. Management is right. They may be acting like *****, but they're still right. In my building, even bid jobs are only bid to that shift - like a combo guy getting guaranteed work on the Midnight and Preload shift...but within those, he works wherever he's instructed. If management doesn't like him, and doesn't think he's doing well enough at a 'preferred' job, they'll throw him in the back of a trailer unloading. And it's their right to do so. Same thing works for any other job, unless your bid specifically said the work area/job you are supposed to do. And most bids are not like that. However, you should still be getting skill pay, and in my building you always do. The rationale is: You are skilled and can perform the job if they have call-ins, etc. Even if you are not doing that job currently, your ability to do it is an asset to the company and you deserve compensation for it. Management here does give skill pay to all who have passed the sort test, even if they get sent somewhere 'un-skilled.' But that is not contractually obligated. [/QUOTE]
