You are contending only those who are forced to work have a right to the 8 hr guarantee.
So how would you reconcile this situation:
Every driver was scheduled for Black Friday (named Holiday) but they will not be forcing some of the high seniority drivers to work (they will be notified by Wednesday).
A high seniority driver decides to work, even though given the option to not work.
Not everyone will get 8+ hours.
Would the lower seniority drivers who are forced to work have the right to 8+ hours, and the high seniority drivers not have the right to the extra work (8+ hours)?
You can see how this creates a situation that contradicts the fundamental principle that higher seniority drivers have the right to the extra work before lower seniority drivers
Your thoughts?.
Like I said, we are in uncharted waters here. I see your point about the forcing to work. But a little different situation here I think.
My opinion in your described scenario is that even if the high seniority guys aren't forced to work, given the option of not working, they are not laid off on Friday, too much seniority. Their seniority gives them the right to work.
And if they come into work, exercise their seniority, they are guaranteed 8 hours.
The OP's job is eliminated, or most of his job, so they do not have 8 hours for him to work. He will be laid off unless he just wants to come in and work actual.
I think his only option is a bump if he is not the lowest senior 22.3 employee.
