ok so if you bid on a position..and get that position...can you be made to leave that position?...heres the story...in out hub we have 4 centers...each center had 2 clerks..except for the 1....where there was 1 clerk..that 1 clerk filed a grievance to get an extra clerk like the other centers...this is where i come in..i signed the bidsheet 4this position 7to8mths ago....so ive been clerking as a clerk not as help as an actual clerk 4this long...well here recently ive been getting in heated arguments w my center manager.....now he hasnt told me this directly but apparently he wants 2send me back 2 the hub 2 what i was doing before i came 2b a clerk....my question is is this possible? can u indeed be made to leave a position that u bidded on? ive been told by many sofar at work that ucant...i was also told to go to the union w this...which i am 1st thing in the morning...does any1 have any idea if any of what hes tryin 2do is possible?
your mgr might try to dissolve the position if its no londer needed.. remember...$$$ talks; and BS rolls down hill

heres the part of your post where it does appear you claim an extra clerk position was created via grievance. Love to see the article language if you can get your hands on it.

Brownboss, at our center there is NO bid list for PT. Just a seniority list. Our clerks, loaders, unloaders and International PT`s do not bid for their positions. That is how it is done at our center.
Sounds like your center isn't abiding by the contract, then. Specifically, ...

ARTICLE 22. PART-TIME EMPLOYEES

....
Section 4.

Part-time employees with six (6) months or more seniority shall have the right to place their name on the list of employees waiting to be moved to a preferred job within their building. Such preferred jobs shall include, but not be limited to: Preload, Sorter, Clerical, Irregular Train, Designated Responder, Carwasher, Loader and Unloader. Employees do not have the right to select any specific unit, load or workstation unless a prior past practice has been established...

Now, in my center clerks are in a different Local. But Brownboss, despite his very annoying unreadability (wtf...is he on the web using his phone?), seems to have a right to the pt clerk work, if it exists.
