[QUOTE="steeltoe, post: 182165, member: 9491"] The damage was very little. As a matter of fact, I spoke with maintnance and they had no record of the vehicle ever being in the shop for any touch up paint or anything. You do not want to know how I got passed over, but here we go. I worked out of an air facility. Our supplement has us bid into another facility about 20 miles away for full-time jobs only. No opportunity to cover drive or drive part-time out of my building. There is no way to police who goes full-time when you bid into a building 20 miles away. Add the additional 30 miles to my house and you are talking about 50 miles to police who is going full-time and who is not. Anyway, one day I decided to drive over to the facility to see the seniority list. Needless to say, I was shocked to see that myself and 5 other employees from my building were skipped over for years. Have any of you ever heard of a person waiting 17 years to go full-time. Well you are reading the post of that person. I won the grievance for myself and 5 other people. We were to receive back dated seniority and we were to move up the progression pay rate after 30 days. Hint, 30 days. I was the first person to go. Well we know what happened to me. The next guy went after I was disqualified. Guess what, he did not make it either. His was due to delivery violume, I believe. When the other 4 people saw what happened to myself and the other guy, they turned the jobs down. You may ask, how in the heck can some one turn down a job making top pay in 30 days? It is hard to beleive, but thses guys could not take the risk. You may ask, what risk. Well, here is my story and the risk I took. I had a small business during the day, worked UPS at night. When I won my grievance I was told that I had to report to driving school in 2 weeks. So, I decided to find a competitor to take care of my customers in return for "peanuts". I also signed a "no-compete" for a period of 2 years. My business was gone, and I can not compete in that industry for 2 years. You may say, to heck with the non compete. Well I am a man of honor. I signed the paperwork and I am going to honor it. So, now I am back working part-time with no business in the only industry I know, other thatn packages. I lost my house of 6 years and I am screwed. Luckly, I do not have children. The other guys do have children and decided that the risk was to high. I do not understand how a company could treat employees who have 10,12,15, etc years with the company and destroy their financial future over a bent bumper.
