A co worker of mine has 3 years in.He put in to be a shifter a year ago.He was never called yet there are shifters with less than 2 years working.How would he get access to the shifter seniority list?When he does and he was wronged what type of grievance should he file,most important what should his settlement requested be?
If he feels his seniority was violated than file the grievance. You don't have to put specific dates. Your BA will investigate the grievance and tell him if his seniority was violated. The steward also has a right to investigate a grievance and could request the seniority date of the shifters in question.
Like was said before the timeliness of the grievance may be a problem but it may also go off of point of knowledge.
Personally I've never heard of a yard shifter having so little seniority but there is always a first for everything.
Edit:
Sorry didn't answer your questions lol.
File a grievance under Article 4 of the WRT and all applicable.
Request relief should be "honor my seniority and award me the position and back pay for wages lost."
This should cover all his bases.
