Seniority after peak - On topic please

Why do you assume the OP is an off the street, nonseniority employee?

Isn't it possible that they are a part time employee trying to qualify as a package car driver?

Either way, my point was that nobody can file a valid grievance before the Company actually violates the contract.

True, but they try. Every. Single. Day.

Had a steward try to file on me one time for moving an over 150lbs found in the operation. She filed a supervisor doing bargaining unit work grievance, for work that the contract specifically says I cannot even ASK a bargaining unit employee to do.

Just think on that for a sec.

If they decide to keep you you’ll probably have to do another 30 days. There’s a guy in my building they’re letting him do 14 days but they’re pushing him trough.
 
So... I did my additional days after peak and spoke to the steward yesterday. He said that if my count was correct then I'm good. How will I know when the union recognizes that I have seniority? They still have not taken any $$$ for the initiation fee (I know they didn't forget).

Just keep working till you hit 30 working days after Jan 10th. At that point I would contract the union about dues/initiation fees.

He's asking about paying initiation fees. We only pay initiation fees once in my local so I'm also assuming he's a off the street.

Do you guys have to pay when you're PT and when you go driving?

He's asking about initiation fees now, but wasn't when I posted that.

.....but it does appear now that this is an off street hire.

Nope, one time initiation fee here as well.

I agree with your Steward that if your day count is correct you're good, but think that you should be more concerned with whether the Company recognizes you as a seniority employee and is making contributions to H&W and the pension on your behalf.

The Local will come after the initiation fee and dues as soon as that happens.


Oh yeah, and congratulations!!!!
