Employee has been gone for 180 days, after 180 days they forfeit their vacation. in addition, all employees where I work at have asked me to file this grievance, but I was told by the business manager that I could not do it.
The Employee has been gone for more than a year and has put in for some of the summer weeks of vacation on the vacation calendar. The other employee's want those weeks. however, the union feels that an employee has a right to those weeks of vacation without pay. What we want, is the vacation weeks that where put on for this employee to be avalible for other employee's to bid on.

The union doesnt "feel" anything. The union is simply upholding the language in the contract. Vacation weeks are selected in seniority order and an employee is entitled to select weeks even though he/she will not be paid for them.
...then why wouldn't said employee pick non-premium weeks to allow his co-workers to be able to choose from the premium weeks?
may be a good question Up... but that isnt the fault of the union.... If the language of the contract needs to be changed then so be it.... but its not the fault of the union that there is no grievance...then why wouldn't said employee pick non-premium weeks to allow his co-workers to be able to choose from the premium weeks?
