[QUOTE="BigBrown1234, post: 3123417, member: 68729"] My rule that I follow is. If I grieve a management practice. I argue 3 things 1. What is being done in specific 2. How it affects working conditions negatively 3. Suggestions on how to fix it You will probably win every grievance either flat out or a step closer in the right direction if you can show it will not cause a dew hard ship on management. For example: Allowing PT to pick jobs in seniority order EVERYDAY allows for a more flexible shift and everyone will have knowledge of overall jobs. (you can only learn a route/position through experience) unless it requires some qualification like class A for feeder) When I grieve a seniority violation for Job preference I like to ask management “Why they chose” for example Billy over Jessica to do a specific Job/Route. Trust me when I say there is no good answer. (we have already established AREA knowledge is not a reason) I will explain to management that if there is no special qualifications for a position then I corner them in and say is it because she is a woman or older because the contract backs that age will be accommodated. We are all qualified drivers/loader/unloaders etcetera so the only thing that separates us is our [B][U]SENIORITY [/U][/B] [/QUOTE]
