Grievance question
I have a question for the stewards on these forums. Earlier this night (10/24) my rights of seniority were violated when i was forced to go home after my assignment was done. Every night for the past month i have stayed after my assignment of sorting to go unload the "late loads" trailers from cleveland and a couple other centers/ hubs further away that they wanted unloaded but dont need the whole operation. Generally they force 3 other people to stay because they are the lower end of the seniority list for unloading. My question is, is it worth my time to talk to my union steward about filing a grievance, for only a half an hr of work that would have been performed (45 mins at most) , and i have witnesses to me being forced to go home and told "there was no extra work" by my sorting supervisior, even though the unload sup had just told two people to go unload one of the trailers that had arrived, both of which i have more seniority than. Also am i allowed to file a grievance as i only have like 2 months seniority or do u need like 6 months a year, etc??? thank you for your help. Funny thing, my steward was also standing about 10 ft away and looked over. So ill probably talk to him when i go in tomorrow anyways.
P.S. i read the contract and the language cited in Art. 57 Section 1 seems pretty clear that my rights were violated correct me if im wrong
