A transfer is like starting all.over, the only thing the company seniority affords you is the amount of vacation you get and your time credited toward retirement. You bid last, you pick vacation last, you're the first to be laid off. You're basically a brand new qualified driver.
Your new seniority date is June 2022, which happens to be after 2019. You started all over bro, sucks.I was a RPCD hire back in 2016, fast forward to June 2022, I transferred to a different local and hub, went through the local rider and supplements and the local rider says:
But I’m lost because the national and western supplement say this:
- It is agreed that no employee with a seniority date prior to August 1, 2011, will be forced on to a Tuesday through Saturday work week unless otherwise mutually agreed to or unless the employee bid such work week in accordance with the bidding procedures set forth in Article 6, Section 2.
Not sure what to do, keep filing grievances or what? My local stewards and B.A said it will get up to the panel but i haven’t heard a word since. Really missing my Mon-Fri schedule. Help me out my brothers and sisters, shed some light for me lol thank you
- It is agreed that no employee with a seniority date prior to August 1, 2019, will be forced on to a Tuesday through Saturday work week unless otherwise mutually agreed to or unless the employee bid such work week in accordance with the bidding procedures set forth in Article 6, Section 2.
I understand that but the language needs to be adjusted if that is how it’s going to be. Because the dude does have a seniority date before the cutoff. Building/Center/Company isn’t specified in the language.
Company time has zero to do with center seniority.
I get his point. There is language missing to directly address this, I believe.
What local is the OP in? Our supplement covers seniority issues.
He doesn't have a seniority date prior to 2019. It's 2022. I don't find it ambiguous whatsoever.
Same as when pt goes full time
The dude has a company seniority date pre 2019. He also has a center seniority date of 2024.
What does your transfer language read?
It’s over. Unfortunately he’s grasping for straws and overthinking the position he’s in. Make the best of it and continue on.
Not picking a side here but ... it's not company seniority. It's RPCD seniority pre 2019.
I haven't read it yet myself.
Thanks for linking to the contract. It would be helpful for me to read it before spouting my uninformed opinion.
This is what I was alluding to, but I hadn't considered the added portions. This could get interesting, but I'd be hot if I got bumped to Tu-Sa by the lowest guy in the building.
Why not?
