[QUOTE="cpio, post: 156857, member: 7535"] If there are too many bargaining unit members on the clock, and you are asked if you want to leave early, DON'T SAY YES. If you volunteer you are not guaranteed your contractual 3-1/2. If they force you, you are guaranteed your 3-1/2. The contract says that if a reduction in workforce is necessary, UPS management is supposed to displace the bargaining unit employees from low seniority to high seniority. If you want to stay, and you have seniority over anybody else, (I've had management pull this **** with me before) DEMAND that management send home any part-timers with lower seniority than you. If they refuse, tell them to get your shop steward. If they refuse to get your shop steward, grab him when you're off the clock. As far as I know, there is an applicable grievance procedure for seniority rule violations, so keep that in mind if management continues this practice. Note for guy who is on indefinite layoff: If you can prove a hardship, you may be able to bump out anybody with less seniority than you. When in doubt, contact your business agent's office everyday until you get a hold of him. He or she may be able to get access to the part-time seniority lists and find out if you have higher seniority than anybody and get you back on the job. [/QUOTE]
