[QUOTE="The Range, post: 3843960, member: 51803"] Thank you. You've always been helpful. The company and union have reached some sort of understanding after many battles to honor employees who prefer a specific classification. There are no bid lists currently but there have been in the past. The company agreed to honor this on an individual basis and it is now "how things are". Personally, I do not like this method but I am not privy to all backroom deals. Most are not going to speak up to "ask" for a specific classification. However, as is, seniority rules in the choosing of classification for part-timers. This is an improvement from years past. In terms of meritorious grievances - yes. The grievances are proper and accurate. The employee has had 1 out of dozens denied to the tune of multiple thousands. More than anyone else on the shift. There were several attempts dating back to remove this employee from the location and classification. It was successful until the employee began filing article 37 grievances for retaliation. The company obliged (briefly) and returned the employee to the original work assignment. This is an area of dozens and the employee was quickly relocated to a hole in the hub where grievances would be nullified. The sticking point is the classification is (for the most part) the same as his/her original preference. It leaves a very bad taste in my mouth as it was received by the employee and those around him/her as blatant retaliation. This area is once again a hotbed of supervisors working and no one is stepping up to file on it. It is a shell game but the language in article 37 and "work assignment" seems toothless without monetary penalty. I am big on morale and sticking together. Their reason was simply "we need this person elsewhere". [/QUOTE]
