I have worked on the preload as a part timer for 11 years now. I choose not to drive because I have a good 9-5 job. Over the 11 years I have learned and done every job in the building (ie. scanner, clerk, sorter, unloader, loader, and surepost). Every day I have to wake up and wonder about what job I am going to have to do that day, while I watch new hires do the job I've been asking for. For years I have been asking to be able to do sort isle everyday and be left alone, but my supervisors keep telling me that seniority does not exist for part timers. I have gone to my shop stewards for help, but they shrug it off saying they dont know. Really I just think they dont care. So I have been trying to read and find out details, because it would seem that there should be bid lists for certain jobs for preload that I should be able to bid on. I am part of the local 270. I believe we are the Southern Region. I find article 49 section 4 states that there should be bidding going on. In the main agreement it is article 22 section 4 saying I should be able to put my name on the list for a preferred job. Can anyone explain how bidding on part time (ie preload) works and what my rights are exactly? Please.
