[QUOTE="outta hours, post: 871493, member: 4568"] If the jr driver files a grievance it will be ruled that you return to the routes you both bid on. That is what the contract is for, rules and guidelines. There has to be some sense of order amongst the chaos. I know that you feel it is hurting no one. But the truth is it hurts everyone whenever we make "deals" to get or do what "we" want. Your rationalization to benefit yourself is way off. You say he is "crying" but from where I sit, it looks like you are "crying" also trying to weasel out of your bid route. In your logic what would prevent drivers from switching routes everyday? The higher guys could come in and see what was light and run it. Everyone would squawk then because they are not on their bid route. You bid the route, you keep it till the next bid. End of story. Shame on your local or BA for allowing this to go on for one day. If the route you guys chose sucks, then so be it. Take something else next time. We have all bid routes that were not as we expected once we got on them. Man up and run it and quit looking for ways out of it, or making "deals" not to run it. Its wrong. Ask yourself if the other driver wanted to switch but you didn't would it still be OK? Its still the same contract violation. As a union member ( if you are) we are expected to do the job and follow the contract to the best of our abilities. Management violates it daily I know. Hold yourself to a higher standard. Every time we make a "deal " to help them or ourselves we weaken the agreement and our union. It shows them we don't care about, or follow the contract either. Don't be foolish enough not to realize that they will use that to their advantage. Next time you have an issue this "deal" will be in play and brought up. The union is bigger than each of our own selfish desires. I get so tired of hearing that " well it worked for me that's all i care about" . Trust me the company loves that attitude. Go in Monday and run the route you bid on. It's the right thing to do. [/QUOTE]
