I am in Maintenance and I received a letter in July from local USPS management stating my Tour 2 bid with Tue/Wed RDO's was abolished due to "lack of work".
The effective date was 8/30/2008.
I'm not "excessed", but an unencumbered veteran.
I am one of 15 employees given this notice.

Since the receipt of "The Letter", I have been given worksheets with 7 hours or more of work at least two days each week.
New bids were posted 10/10/2008.
One of the new bids was Tour 2 with Tue/Wed RDO's.

On 10/20/2008, I given a letter stating I was the "successful bidder" for a Tour 1 position with Tue/Wed RDO's.
My PAR sheet, Preferred Assignment Register, did not include this bid.
I was told to report to my new bid this Saturday, 10/25/2008.


Here are three points.
#1 - My bid was not abolished due to lack of work.
     At no time in the past 3 years I have been at my current station has anyone been told to sit in the break area to lack of work.
     And I seem to have been bumped from my previous bid.


#2 - According to the article in the current CBA that was used to "abolish" my bid, I should have been given a new assignment before 28 days had elapsed from 8/30.


#3 - I have not found the chapter & verse in the CBA, but I have been told that I should have a 2-week notice to report to a new bid.
     Since I would be working on Tour 2 Friday, I would need to report to work 11:00 pm Friday night to work my new position Saturday morning.


Is not each one of these points is a grievance? Yes, No, or Other?

This has been going on since July and no paperwork has be filed on my behalf.
The local Maintenance Director is still "looking into it"
Letters and faxes to the Local President have gone unanswered.

If you were in my shoes, what would you do rectify this situation?
