Don't know anything about 396's supplement, but in our area setup time goes to the most senior employee that's qualified and available. Is that what happened?
Let me throw in my 2¢.
I've been at ups for 15 years doing a presort for 8 years. A few individuals grievanced me to get the time and somehow won. I will add that is not in my normal area.
They didn't "grievance you".... so to speak.
It sounds like you were preforming
extra work, outside of your normal work area.
They grieved it, and both parties (Union and company) agreed to a contractual resolution.
I went through this 5 years ago though and I won.
A copy of a previous grievance would help your case.
If... you filed.
I was told the last time after 30 working days it's yours.
Um,
After 30 (working) days, it
can be considered a permanent position.
Then, subject to Local seniority or bidding procedures.
They won't talk, and explain it to you ?
Or, is their answer.... something you don't want to hear ?
Help us out.
