I need advice. i have been an unassigned regular since may 2009.i received
a letter on my time card saying i was awarded a residual assignment accorded to Article 39.2.A5 of the CBA.No bid was posted,i was not offered
the assignment. no one asked me if i wanted the assignment.i spoke with no
one about it.I am the most senior unassigned regular TTO!There are 3 other
drivers that are unassigned regs one being the ex craft president who is acting (literally) as a shop stewart since he lost the last election.
he is junior to me by 5yrs. the others are junior to him.recently the #1 TTO retired.I know for a fact i was assigned the bid that i did not want
so the ex pres could get the choice assignment.I went to the local president when i got wind of this action and accused the ex pres and management of collusion to prevent me from getting the choice assignment!
I have strong evidence that I was wronged!The ex craft pres and the local
pres are friends.i filed the grievence myself and gave it directly to the local pres to handle.I have a timestamped copy.if no action is taken by the local pres what is the next step for me? should i use the NLRB?
Management let it be known that they will abolish the choice schedule if i
continue to make waves.this situation sucks! what recourse do i have?
