[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1008923, member: 32753"] I know and agree with this...but this isn't what I am talking about. I am talking about a driver on a bidded route getting wind that a driver with less seniority is about to be sent home and demanding that based on seniority he should have the option first to go home. It happens all the time; it's why drivers sneak around when they're told they are extra; I've heard (I think on BC) of drivers carrying around the extra boards to make it [I]look[/I] like they were going out, all so some senior driver wouldn't bump them. But in reality, the minute the center team acquiesced to the senior driver's demands/request, both involved just participated in an extra-contractural agreement, and seeing how seniority is one of the most appreciated benefits of being in a union, many of the "follow the rules" crowd have probably done this (some, like upssteward728 or anonymous I don't get that vibe, but I could be wrong) . I've been bumped before, but didn't know any better so thought that was how the contract was worded. I've never bumped anyone in such a manner (at least knowingly; I believe I have come in and asked to be made extra, but not just because I wanted the day and a driver with less seniority was being sent home), and now that I know the truth, I doubt I ever will. Doesn't seem fair, in a different kind of way from not taking my lunch between 11-1, you know? [/QUOTE]
