Yes. I am quite easy to get along with. Trolling is fun.
I'm still right on everything.

I will work extra "safe" from now on. Thanks for tip.So, for the guy who started the thread:
You can work as directed. And then work badly enough that the new area doesn't want you. Or you can find a reason that age or physical condition doesn't suit the job for you, and imply a possible injury ahead. But don't file one.
Or you can just work as directed.
It depends on your local--do they have a local rider or is it covered under the regional supplement?I signed up for preferred job, now been in small sort 5 months. When I first started I was okay with it since I was at bottom of seniority list. But since a couple employees quit and they added new employees I moved up the seniority list quite a bit. They keep sending me to help other areas even though I have more seniority than new employees. Recently we also get 2-3 double shifters a couple days a week that is making us overstaffed. I always work as directed.
Do I have grounds for grievance?
The only thing I see is this in Western Supplement:
ARTICLE 4 - SENIORITY
SECTION 3 - RECOGNITION OF SENIORITY The Employer recognizes that the principles of seniority shall be given prime consideration in the every day operation of the business.
And this in SOUTHWEST PACKAGE RIDER:
SECTION 1 – RECOGNITION The Employer recognizes that the principles of seniority shall be given prime consideration in the everyday operation of the business.
Western Region Supplement
Southwest Package and Sort Rider
So they must ask from the top down and then pull from the bottom up.When a part-time employee must be temporarily moved off his/her job to another work area, it shall be by seniority, from those employees qualified and available, in the immediate work area.
If it starts getting irritating, remember: ow, my backI will work extra "safe" from now on. Thanks for tip.
Yes, but PTers are expendable. Just WAD safely, claim an injury if rushedSo Im a part-timer, im a loader. I like to bring our lanuage back the drivers launauge. Which when it comes to recognition of senoirty is exactly the same. RECOGNITION OF SENIORITY The Employer recognizes that the principles of seniority shall be given prime consideration in the every day operation of the business.
And for the same reason that a driver who doen't have a bidded route can use his or her seniorty to bump a lower seniorty driver who doesnt have a bidded route. its as simple as that.
So if im a part timer who doesnt have a bidded prefered job i should have every right to bump a lower seniority part timer who doesnt have a bidded preffred job. like for example the load line. It really upsets me when managment and Shop stewards say work as directed. the launage is CLEAR.
tell me Im wrong? it makes sense right?
