[QUOTE="sillyputty, post: 376736, member: 16481"] Hi again. So, the way all of this started was I asked the FT sup about switching, he said it would be absolutely fine with him but that the steward would throw a fit, so I went to talk to the steward about it and he got all huffy and said that when people switch it affects other people (those who would be covering my job- this argument doesn't work because the same guy would cover for me whether I was off one week or the other- as well as those who may have wanted that week off but didn't get it because I had it - this one doesn't work because neither week is maxed out). He then went on to complain to me about someone who had worked his vacation and how he was grieving it because he wanted the extra work it would have given him). So he just flat out said no I can't. Last night I went in and my FT guy came up to me and said he tried to talk to the steward again about it and that he would give me the week off without pay if I really need it, but he can't switch them. He also told me that the steward had printed it off and highlighted where in the contract it says vacations can't be switched. He's big on highlighting stuff and having it ready. I never got a chance to ask to see it myself because by the time we got done last night I just wanted to go home and not deal with arguing with this guy again. I'm asking tonight though because I searched and searched and cannot find it. I checked the National Master Agreement, I checked the Central Region Supplement, and I checked the Local 344 Rider for Wisconsin (didn't even mention vacations) and I just couldn't find anything anywhere. I did find in the Central one where they changed to picking all vacations starting Nov. 15 and eliminating the March picks. Why they do that is just beyond me. If anything they should be breaking it into 3 or 4 picking times. I guess I just need to see where he had this on paper and read it myself. Beyond that, I don't know what to do. The FT sup does want to let me switch (it will benefit him since only 2 people are off the week I want and 6 or 7 are off the week I have) but if he has this rule and it's on paper somewhere and he's bound and determined to enforce it, I guess there's nothing I can do.
