I believe when you transfer building it's different. It should be center to center in each building
LU 177 "selective" Seniority.

Probably Trenton or Newark. But I have limited 177 knowledge. I've only worked in one building. I just know if drivers had the chance, where I work is where most would want to be
They can't transfer unless there's a job available right? So in order for there to be a tsunami of drivers there would have to be a tsunami of new jobs or retirements, and since you guys bid for life the job they transfer in on would be the job they stay on. I don't understand why you think you will have to go to a 6 month bid just because they retain their seniority when they transfer.

If I have more seniority than him why wouldn't I be able to bump him.......why wouldn't the time I spent humping bundles give me the right to a more desirable delivery area
Don't you guys bid for life?

So are the the feeder street... It's a two way street... The main goal is to have everyone go to there rightful spot.

That would mean changing the bidding language... Which is not what CCSC and the members behind them are asking for... Do your homework.

Package guys and gals do... He is just throwing sheet at the wall just to see if will stick... He isn't even in local 177.

Another stupid idea. My local all package car routes are up for bid every spring. It all goes very smoothly.
Bid for life? Asinine!

In the Central Region, if you win a bid on a pkg car route....
You are on it until you bid a different route, and are allowed 3 bids per year.
The only stipulation being, you can't bid back to your original route
within the 1st year.
In feeders, there is an annual bid.
And seniority prevails when changing classifications.
(the exception being Local 135)
Works just fine.

What I'm asking is if I have more seniority than man in brown why wouldn't I be able to use my seniority to move to his building.....we both have the same qualifications....my seniority should count under the new rules
Yes you would be able to use your seniority to move his building by winning a bid on an open route. Given that bids are for life in 177 that would be your new route at least until you can bid on another open route.
I wouldn't like it either. I can see the appeal for a junior driver who's terrified of getting bumped but for a senior driver it looks more like a trap.

I have been on my bid route since 2000.
The way I see it, you make a route what you want it to be when you win a bid.
It's had it's ups and downs as we went to the PAS system, then to ORION, with various supposed technological advancements designed to speed up my aging body in between....not.
But all in all, I have been able to keep things the way they need to be, with the help of 9.5 language and a whole bunch of fortitude.
I can't imagine having to rebid every year, as this route is mine, until I choose for it not to be.

Its bid for life if you want that route for life.....but you can come off at anytime to bid a different route
