[QUOTE="JARHEAD, post: 709439, member: 12437"] Well it has been two days since I went off on my tirade and today is the driver in question first day back on the job and just as expected he went straight out on route. And I ran the midnight shuttle to the airport. Anyways to answer your question I've been employed for 8 years, 5 years as FT, 4 of which I've had a bid route which I rarely run due to being bumped by seniority. But that is another Union story. Since our center is so small we have no preload only reload. Thus according to "The Unions" contractual agreement I am only able to bump a PT reloader and guaranteed only 4 hrs. And the next kicker is my fine Union also agreed (to my understanding) if you displace the reloader for 7 consecutive days your pay rate is reduced to the reload pay. So in essence my weekly pay ends up getting cut by 3/4 of a weeks wages. 20hr week + loss of 1/2 pay after 7 days. THIS IS WHY I'm sooo ill with the Union!!! Once again I've decided to take the higher road and suck it up. Maybe I will not withdraw from the Union but I very unhappy with their actions. I would really like to discuss this with my union mans steward but after leaving mssgs. for 3 days he has declined to return my calls, I've even asked my union rep to pass on my mssg. but no luck so far. In closing I have started the process in searching for a 3rd shift job to help compensate for the first three months of loss wages of 2010. I wonder if FexEx is hiring any PT positions. I well trained at loading and unloading trailers! [/QUOTE]
