[QUOTE="Dark_Team_135, post: 464838, member: 17242"] Like almost everything else this all depends on your regional contract (actually layoffs are covered in our Local Rider so that supersedes the Central Region Supplement here). In our Local drivers are laid off according to their total company seniority (part time plus full time) which seems fair since someone could get hired directly off the street into a full time position and be working over another employee that has been employed 20 years but not as long full time. Anyway, the laid off driver is allowed to bump 2 part time employees and work two shifts as long as the driver has more total company seniority. This would force the driver to work a split shift since our building only has two shifts with a gap in between them. We have classification seniority by building so we can't use seniority to displace junior employees at other nearby buildings either. The driver is paid whatever rate that his total company seniority would earn if he had always worked the part time job. So a driver with 10 years total would get paid the same as a 10 year part time employee and is only guaranteed 7 hours per day (3.5 hours per shift!) The employee could also choose to draw unemployment if they choose. This language really sucks but we are stuck with it until 2013. [/QUOTE]
