[QUOTE="Gotout, post: 2213363, member: 63049"] So you're looking for Article 22. There is no language in the contract regarding wall sweeps as preferred positions, so the company has no obligation to bid it. What I've pasted below is from the 2007 contract, but it didn't change in the "black book" vs the "blue book". The kicker in the language is past practice. I don't know what they've been doing in OP's building. You can file, but it won't go anywhere. Sups working is clear and indefensible. I've actually seen the company try at a panel. It was embarrassing for the labor manager presenting the case and I can only imagine that the Opps Manager said "I'm not paying that, no way, no how" and they had to take it to panel. Center Managers and Division Managers don't actually have that power in most places. The District Labor manager would call them and say "I can't take this to panel, pay it". File away. I also want you to follow your swm, but only because I want you to stay safe. ;-) But why listen to me, I GotOut "Part-time employees with six (6) months or more seniority shall have the right to place their name on the list of employees waiting to be moved to a preferred job within their building. Such preferred jobs shall include, but not be limited to: Preload, Sorter, Clerical, Irregular Train, Designated Responder, Carwasher, Loader and Unloader. Employees do not have the right to select any specific unit, load or workstation unless a prior past practice has been estab- lished." [/QUOTE]
