Hi there,
So I'm new here but have been reading the threads for a few weeks now. I work at a small (very small) facility and our clerk of 30 years took 7 weeks of vacation and is likely retiring after that. While she has been gone our "spa" person has been doing the clerk job and I have been taken off preload to do the spa position.
From what I've read here and on my union agreement management can't post a preferred sign up sheet for either the clerk or the spa position until it is completely vacated by the lady on vacation? I know our spa lady will take the clerk position and no one can challenge her for it, as she's been here longer than anyone else.
What I'm worried about is when they post the sign up sheet for the spa position I don't think anyone will sign up. I don't like it and I know no one else down the belt does either. So my question is, when no one signs up to do it can management force me to keep working up there?
