[QUOTE="Article 3, post: 3245330"] There are several moving variables in these situations. I got that. Thx for the augmented info. Our situation entailed a 22-3 ft gig with part of it being exception air work and the bulk of the hours devoted to inside work. There are no ft air jobs here. But the center is small enough that there wouldn't be a fight over the only vehicle that doesn't need a medical cert to drive if this individual was allowed to drive. Most people aren't that heartless. Not here anyway. But the vehicle is history and we're guessing that another one won't be a Christmas gift in the future, if ever, and that's all I'm going to say on that issue. The company stalled on awarding the employee the ft inside job that didn't entail off property driving until a grievance was filed. Go figure. When I look around I have to be thankful that I'm not held back as some folks are. I take too much for granted. But we can be thankful that some of us fight for the ones that can't (or won't) fight for themselves. The best thing a steward can do is lead by example, regardless of the cost. Thank God for the selfless co-workers that do. [/QUOTE]
