They have to hire 1 transfer and 1 off the street hire for every 5 guys they promote from inside. Same deal where I am. They started a transfer last friday, while I am still a part timer who cover drives almost everyday.

Are you saying some PT employees transferred out of state and won a FT driving bid ahead of you?

This absolutely should not happen and needs to be grieved ASAP. If a PT employee transfers, their seniority is to be end-tailed for bidding purposes. Skip the steward and call your business agent before they make seniority in package or you're screwed.

Even if they gave a hourly an "off the street hire," they would still have to quit and be re-hired. Those are done at a 6-to-1 ratio of current-to-off the street employees.

If it was a full time driver i believe he has to follow work. I can't see a part timer transferring to a full time position at another center unless it was a part time sup promoted to driver for their off the street hire. Listen to piedmont he has told you exactly what you need to do.

How many of these transfers that got promote were there ??? What part of the country do you live in ??? Where these PTimers or FT drivers before they transferred ??? What was the reason for there transfer ????

Why don't you read your contract and call your BA.
