[QUOTE="100%ORIONComplianceGuy, post: 5997894, member: 109837"] Not necessarily. Our BA is known to side with certain drivers to maintain the status quo even though there is clear contract language being violated. We’ve been told “I will enforce the language if more drivers want it that way“ on multiple issues. And when the language is “silent” on an issue he defaults to seniority. Which, at first, sounds good. But seniority shouldn’t give someone the right to take bid work away from other drivers. Or allow them to sign up for extra work on preload and then take a layoff from driving the same day. Thats literally taking money out of someone else’s pocket. Also, they can get out of driving but still get a report by scanning or SPAinf on preload. There are a few other agendas at play there as well. When an BA or steward allows things like this to happen under the guise of “seniority“ it gives some drivers a sense of invincibility and they think they can literally do whatever they want despite what the contract says.
