Nope my part time supervisor told me when it was time to fill out the vacation selection sheet to put down 5 different dates. So I did and got 3 of them approved

- Thread starter Angler87!
- Start date
That probably just means the two you didn't get approved were already blocked out by other workers, not that you qualify for three weeks off.

Central language guarantees you one week paid vacation after a full years service. Central language also guarantees all vacation selections for every classification will start on November 15th and conclude on December 15th. Your local rider most likely lays out the seniority requirements and selection rules. Check your union board for the selection rules and additional local guarantees. Our local has guaranteed an additional weeks vacation for employees with one year of service (2 total). Your steward should have been working with management when compiling and completing the vacation schedule. So, that person should also be involved in getting your answers.
Correct the two that were blocked out I didn’t have the seniority it . And then I asked my part time supervisor so the 3 that aren’t blocked out I get he said yes.

I've said it before, get it in writing because the company can grant more than what's contractually guaranteed.

He who laughs last didn't get it.
I told him if he gets granted an early extra week off due to their screw up. To be careful cause he won’t have insurance
I wrote the 3 dates down

It’s different everywhere. Here new pt hub rats get 2 weeks of vacation right off the bat . When I started it was 1 week
My guess I’m going to have to talk to the full time supervisor

You are the bottom bitch now but good news is you’ll move up the ranks very fast due to high turnover

Never heard of it being done this way.

Yeah. Something ain’t right. Since he’s new and got vacation schedule last (or close to it) there should’ve only been a few weeks left open to choose from. Weird.

Not sure about other places but here they start at top and go to the bottom of the list. Odd, right? When it's your turn you choose whatever is left. You don't turn in a bunch of choices and hope to get them.

What's on the vacation schedule? When you selected your weeks, what kind of paperwork did you fill out and receive back from the company? Is your steward aware of your ongoing situation? Have you checked the Union Board for vacation rules? My advice would be to stop talking to management and have the union clear it up.

Correct, in seniority order by classification. Twenty-five percent of the work force per week for four weeks. Management and the stewards working together to stay on schedule and update the vacation schedule weekly. Before we select the company supplies the stewards with a schedule. That schedule is in seniority order with dates and number of vacations earned by each employee.
