well its been a month and this is what i have discovered. the tcd was terminated due to sheeting air stops as ni and nsn to avoid having late air and would reattempt later on trace. he was awarded his job back and was disqualified as a driver but there was an agreement between local and the center that he could bid on ft driving job if one was available.a job is available now and he bid and is now attempting yet another qualifying period. the argument is since we have part time covers the fulltime job is two seperate qualifications. i assumed that if your disqualified you cannot enter a driving bid-PERIOD. and i cannot find the backroom deals section in my contract book. im going to file a grievance but dont know how to get around my local because they support this "agreement". ANY help would be appreciated.
Article 6 Sec. 1
Ask to see the agreement (or better yet, a copy). If you are denied, file charges with your local Joint Council. If you get the "extra agreement" file charges and get it thrown out, have your officers disciplined and get your FT position.
I don't know what the actual intent of the Article 6 Sec.1 article is, but it is all I can recommend at the moment.
