[QUOTE="UPS_Brown, post: 958781, member: 36528"] OK, I was hired from the outside as a seasonal driver for the summer of 2011, they liked the way I worked, so they asked to try and qualify to become a seniority full time driver. A part timer was also asked to qualify as well, since there were two openings, he would have been the one that would have met the inside hire quota thus allowing them to hire me from the outside. Well it so happened that I qualified and he did not, I am now and have been a seniority driver since September 2011...Well he filed a grievance saying my route was easier than his, so they are in the process of giving him a third chance (yes, he failed to qualify once before I was even in the picture), and I was told if he does qualify he will be placed in front of me on the seniority list. Yes when I took this job I figured he was going to be in front of me, but now almost 7 months later while I have been busting my ass, he is going to lollygag in there right in front of me. Yes, I know you are all about hiring from the inside, and may not support me, but I worked the LS for 6 years, before I left to follow a career in my degree field. I was laid off and saw this opening, so I applied...so yes I paid my dues as a grunt. Is there anything I can do? And yes if anyone is questioning, I was under 9 days in a row. He is almost at his 30th day and maybe scratched twice. Thanks for any help or suggestions!!! [/QUOTE]
