Following a route to a new building

[1989NW]

Hello my bid route is being transferred to a neighboring center and I am considering following it. My commute time will double but I love my route so much and want to retire on it. My question is how does it work as far as seniority goes when following your bid route to an already existing center? Does your seniority go to the bottom or do they slide you in the list going off of your hire date?

@542thruNthru will need to know what supplement are you under.

You dovetail into the existing seniority list…

Do you know is there any scenario as to where I could be bumped off of my bid route after following it to the new building?

What local are you?

So you're JC 28. I would assume this falls under article 38 of the NMA and your BA would have to tell you where your seniority would go. That's something that would have to be worked out during the change of operation.

Loops can be setup backwards at companies discretion. You could have an A route then end up a G route.

Do you rebid routes periodically? A guy with more seniority could take it obviously.

The change of operation meeting(article 38) will determine a lot of that if you are switching locals (supplement as well). If it is the same, the supplemental language applies. Pension stays the same. Benefits are usually switched to new building unless its the same.

If there’s a layoff and you don’t have enough hair you could be layed off

Here your seniority would transfer and the only way to lose your route would be if someone with higher seniority had their route eliminated or changed more than 50% and bumped you.

I had the same option you did and I gave up my route (I didn't want the extra commute). Personal choice.
