[QUOTE="The Range, post: 3571815, member: 51803"] Supplements like Atlantic have general "VLO" language. For instance, voluntary layoffs in this local are distributed from top to bottom. As such, end of shift cuts are offered from the top down and forced from the bottom up (as it should be). The grey area here is should it be building wide, by classification, or work assignment. The statement "seniority = the right to work, not the right not to work" is untrue. To answer your question.. file on past practice if you have no specific language but it's an established practice confirmed by your local or own eyes. For the reasons I mentioned above (and more), it is critical to protect and expand "in all other cases, seniority rules" language. Management is retaliatory towards all but in particular part-timers who file. They are easy targets as individuals. I've witnessed them break people by forcing them into a corner via extended hours. In essence "you stop filing grievances and we will let you get to that other part-time job, or you continue filing and we will squeeze you out by working you full-time hours". A layer of protection is necessary if you expect part-timers to participate. [/QUOTE]
