[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 3743830, member: 8481"] Depends on local practice, but most likely to a non-bid, or vacation coverage, or qualified list driver. Because that's what the contract says. And that is why we do not follow that language here, and why I forgot it was in the Central Supplement. Theoretically, a brand new feeder driver could be assigned the 4th best job in the building bypassing 30 or 40 year drivers that would have loved to bid the 3rd open job. Again, it probably varies everywhere. Although, it would be difficult to assign someone to an open job that already has a bid. It would then open his job up. If there was no one left qualified, they should just cover it until they can train someone. And sometimes the bottom feeder driver is forced onto a job that no one wants, including him. But if there is no bumping going on, and if you are in a building that does not have annual or semi-annual bids, the last guy just hit the lottery. Even if you have annual bids, this low guy could be on a great job for almost the entire year. [/QUOTE]
