[QUOTE="steeltoe, post: 181906, member: 9491"] I am new to this board so please bare with me. My question seems to be complex, but here we go. I won a grievance for being passed over for full-time package car driver. I passed the school and in my 2nd week scraped a bumper pulling out of the preload. I was pulled from the car, told to wait. After about 5 minutes another guy shows up in uniform an drives off in my loaded package car. I was disqualified for an avoidable accident. Here is where the confusuion is. I was never a cover driver. Under Article 49, Section 2, (B)(2) the contract reads: "The employee awarded the job must satisfactorly complete a thirty (30) working day training period within a one hundred twenty (120) consecutive day period. An employee who fails to qualify shall not be allowed to bid for one (1) year for the job he/she was disqualified for...." My question is this. Under this language was I not disqualified from "Full-time" package only? Should I not be able to "Cover Drive" as a part-time employee or drive as a part-time air driver? I have been told that I was disqualified from Drving period. I do not read the contract this way at all. Here is my logic below. If you are a part-time air driver only. You bid into full-time package and are awarded a job. You have a fender bender before your 30 days. Would the company then not let you go back to your part-time job as an air driver? During my week in driving school, one of the people who drove part-time on Saturdays asked what would happen if he did not pass the school. The instructor said that if he was disqualified from the school he would go back to his part-time job and still be allowed to drive part-time. The instructor said that he thought it made no sense, but that is how it works. The way I am reading the contract, I should have been disqualified from full-time package only. Driving is not a classafication. Driving is what you do within the classafications of feeder, full-time package, part-time cover, part-time air driver. At the very least, I beleive I should be able to cover drive or drive as a part-time air driver until my one year disqualification from full-time package car driver is over. Please let me know what you guys think. [/QUOTE]
