Can a driver that has been off work for over a year drawing off the job disabilty. Have the right to bid on a 22-3 job. Driver has no return work date.
Do you have the article or what language can I find that under. Thanks for the respone
You need to check your supplement, but in general unless there is language which prohibits someone in his situation from bidding on the job, then he can bid on it.
Well they don't have to hold the bid open, it's being won by an employee that is currently out on comp(assuming he wins the bid).You would need to check your supplement.... and any Local Union Rider. They differ.
Unless your language says different.... The company is under no obligation to "hold" a bid open until
the "bidder" is available. Your mileage may vary.

I'm pretty sure nobody said that.So if you are hurt you should lose all seniority and rights to bid? I am glad you're not in charge.
Not here, bug. I have no scheduled return date after three years, and bid two years ago, and will bid this round. center manager has already talked to me about it.Your supplement or rider will specify the bidding procedure.
It will define the length of time the bid must be posted.... And the the amount of time,
the company has toward awarding the bid or implementing it.
If you are off on comp or disability, with no scheduled return date {as stated by the OP}....
Unless your language says different.... you wouldn't be eligible to win it.
If your return date falls within the implementation date(s).... you're good to go.
I have dealt with this exact situation. Also, people on comp or disability who miss the chance at a bid they could have won.
As always.... it's best to know your Local language.

At my tiny center(ave 30 runs), we all(feeders and package) bid off the same list and do it every two years. Sounds like my personal life.
It varies all over the country. Just as an example....
Here, package car drivers only bid when a route becomes available. Feeder drivers bid annually.

Around here package bids every year, feeders bid every 6 months. If you win a bid while you're out on comp/disability they'll just put a cover driver on it til you get back.

Yup. Same here.If you win a bid while you're out on comp/disability they'll just put a cover driver on it til you get back.
