Hello, I've always known that this site was around for about 2 years now, but never decided to make a account till recently do to the fact I don't think I am being told all that is true. To first start it off I'll start from the beginning an go from the outcomes of it. For reference I am inside the wear house working as a sorter as my current job.
I've been with UPS for 4 years, but my Sen. starts at 5/12.
Last October Mike (A former Supervisor of the Sort isle) and myself went to go take a physical at a UPS doctor location in order to be what I think is called a DMP clerk or First Responder for short. We had to take a respirator test as well as a full body physical to see if we were able to preform the jobs at hand.
Both of us ended up passing it, and he was moved down to the Pit first to be trained an I was soon suppose to follow him. Peak season went thru an still haven't moved down there, got another job at night at Amazon and moved to the Day shift in UPS. I've talked to my full time Sup that told me to go take my physical back in October and he told me I would become a backup responder. Once Terry the current responder went on vacation I was suppose to be trained for the pit an cover for her.
My full time sup said that once the new sorters where trained I would be trained down there. That whole week went by and I wasn't trained. I got angry an decided to fill a grievance about it. Before filling back in July I've wrote on the preferred list ensuring that I can get the job based off Seniority. That same day in July I've noticed they placed a girl in the position that hasn't even been here for a full year, which even upset me more, thus taking action in filling a grievance.
About a month or so had gone by and we had the meeting near the end of August and basically the Hub manager didn't want to move me because I was a trained sorter an he is getting ready for peak season an can't afford to lose someone that is skilled to go to a non-skilled position. He also says that I will lose a dollar if I go down there, which I know for a fact that since I've passed the sort test an been on the sort isle for 2 years I've been there too long for them to take it from me.
Ending result ended in the fact that according to our local union 322, the president told me that them putting her in that position before you didn't go against the contract due to the fact that it wasn't a preferred job. I've even gone an called the Union in DC to try an help me out, called a week ago, never got a call back an just called a few minutes before posting this here trying to get some true resolution to this.
Honestly I believe someone forged my paper work since my full time sup told me that I failed my physical based off medical records they gave to him, an when I went back to get them she only handed me 2 pieces of paper that basically said nothing wrong with me, passed respirator an physical can preform duties of the job.
Mainly I would like to know was I told right by the local union or can I honestly fight this all the way, an to whom would I have to go too, because I myself, believe I should have had this job before her, they just don't want to move me an only tell me things and when I repeat them to others that has been their for about 20 years or so said they telling me wrong.
Thanks for the time to whoever responds to this sorry I know it was long.
