Trailer Maggot
I just need some advice on this situation. Ive been a trailer maggot on local sort for about a year and am the lowest guy on our shift. The guy with the most seniority is 20 years old and will be 21 on sept. 20th. His dad is our manager for the whole center. were not a big center four guys on local sort and we do between 100-300 percent depending on the season.
The problem is anytime this kid doesnt want to do some job or another he tells his dad and hes reasigned. he recently took over the scan and throw position into the trailer which included parking trucks at the end of the night. He told his dad he didnt want to have to park so his dad shoved it on me and said its now a seniority issue.
This is where it gets good Ive been asking our manager (his dad) to be added to the list of air drivers for four months now and he allways said that they had their maximum amount allowed. Since then we have lost three people with air driver cards so I kept bugging him about getting me on. He kept blowing me off and then finally posted the air sign up sheet a few weeks ago. After 2 weeks of it up there were only 2 signups on it, me and his son. His son is not 21 so is not eligible untill the 20th so Im the only one ready to go. I asked him about when he would grant the air driver status and he said that he needs approval from HR and he doesnt know when it will come.
I have this feeling that for some reason the air driver slot will not be available untill his son is 21. Ive been hammering him on it at least twice a week and no go. My question is does this sound screwed to you guys and is there anything else I can do? I also heard there was some rule that a center manager's child could not promote out of the same center but Im not sure of that. Anyway your input would be helpfull and thanks for reading this long freaking post.
