So would the laid off drivers have to bump the lowest seniority employees first (2 p/ters for instance) or just anyone that is junior to them that they choose (22.3 or other full-time inside)?
Also, would they have to be qualified to perform the jobs of the people they are bumping?
You would see the higher seniority laid off drivers bump the 22.3s for the 8 consecutive hours, but it looks like our drivers here that will be laid off are all around the 2 year or less in seniority so they would have to displace two ptimers unless their seniority is greater than some new 22.3s.
It doesn't get that specific. Just says that we can bump part-timers. It doesn't say whether or not we can bump air drivers but I would think that we could.
If you read artcile 40 (air operations) it states that air drivers are to be used only to assist in the operations by delivering what the regular ftime driver cannot. This language means that air drivers would be the first to get laid off if it comes to it.
If all 3 centers are under 1 Local Union then the highest seniority person layed off regardless of center should get first crack at the return.
We have 3 centers in our Local and when we rebid routes, I can go to any center and bid a route based on seniority. I can't see how it could be different. Just may have to learn new routes.
Heff, we have i beleive its 11 buildings within our local which is broken down to 3 different districts, metro ill, north ill, and cach. Now a laid off feeder driver has the right to displace a junior feeder driver within any of these areas. However any other layoffs go by district.
So if your laid off in metro you can bump within metro, and the same with the other two districts. Hope this helps, also any laid off employee here keeps their current rate of pay and does not go to inside hub rate, if your at $28.55 driving you will be at the same loading and unloading.
