[QUOTE="SpicyItalian739, post: 3605536, member: 21313"] We're a very small center and usually only work 5-6 per night on our local sort. We both started at the same time, we both had hit 3.5 hours, we both were finished with our assigned work (I started on small sort and air car and he either unloaded or pulled, I can't remember that night, then went down to bag smalls). We're both qualified to do everything there. The next day I told the sup I just wanted to get as many hours as I can in the future, and he defensively said "it was only 2 minutes, I don't see what the big deal is... besides, the only thing that matters is that you have the most hours at the end of the week." I've heard that end of the week line before, but it isn't in line with how I read the contract. I read that extra work provision on a night to night basis, so I don't know where the sups are getting that. 2nd seniority guy stays for 3.5 every day but Friday, so I will always get more hours at the end of the week. We lost our biggest account back in January, so it's very rare that we go over 3.5 and this is my only job. Not sure why he's being a renob about it. Well, after I bring it up again before work on Tuesday, he goes up to the number 5 guy in seniority and asks how confidently he feels about running small sort and air car by himself Friday. So now because I had the gall to ask for hours, I'm being demoted off the small sort. They're going to argue that small sort isn't a preferred job, I can see it coming already, even though I'm by far the fastest sorter (I have 18 years of experience after all, and most our other workers are at about 1 year). They're gonna shoot themselves in the foot to punish me, and since other dude isn't a good sorter (and probably never will be, by my estimation), I'm going to end up getting more hours. Hmmmm, wondering if I should even file for the preferred job if they're going to be that daft. [/QUOTE]
