[QUOTE="The Ward3n, post: 3414644, member: 71554"] Hello I’m a long time reader but first time poster in the forums. I have a question and am seeking guidance in regards to Feeders. I’m unsure if it has been answered in a different thread already, I have scoured the threads but was unable to find it. Recently there has been a FT feeder position opening in my Center. No FT drivers have bid on the route. There is myself and another who signed the bid. Both of us are TCD and “Feeder Covers”. My counterpart has had an accident that is within the recent year while I have not. He does have more seniority than myself. I’ve been told that Feeder management can promote per their discretion even if they have an accident on record. However in the union book it states [I]“When a permanent vacancy occurs in the feeder classification and there are no full-time employees to fill the vacancy, the employer will offer the opening to part-time employees, who can qualify Before hiring from the outside. Any part-time employee wishing to fill a feeder vacancy must meet the same criteria as someone hired from the outside. A copy of these qualifications will be provided to the Local Union upon request.”[/I] [I] Does anyone know specifically what these requirements are? My steward says an outside hire has the same qualifications as a TCD which is no accidents/tickets on record within the past year in order to bid a FT slot. What are my options? Or what would you recommend I do? Thank you for your time in regards to this post. [/I] [/QUOTE]
