Easy... Guys with seniority that switched job class or transfered are for one board. Guys without seniority that started in their job class are against it.

Should we start a pole?

Gordon Food Service gives your seniority back after a year. Transfer to another center, bottom of the board for a year. Switch job class, bottom for a year. I can live with that.
 
What about local seniority? Then you chose bids by whatever centers your local covers. I think UPS does that.
 
I think you southern boys should be worried if it becomes a year and a day. I think you will see the great Yankee migration happening rather quickly.
 
We are unable to transfer to another terminal unless there is a change of operations and the company moves work from one terminal to another. Then they examine the change and permit the appropriate number of men and/or women to follow the work.The only exception to this that I know of is in the Chicago area. I hear tale that the break bulks are able to bid dock/city/road when the bids come up and carry full seniority and I have never heard anyone grumble about it. UPS does not permit workers to switch locations within a local to my knowledge unless there is a change of operations.

BTW I know of two separate New Penn terminals. One has two boards and the other they can flip flop road to city every year.

Chicago has a master list but there are also separate locals for city and road. 705 city and 710 road/dock.
 
oh yeah, been here 19 years and I will never let it die, fedex needs to give me my seniority back, new truck and the best run, cause I have more company seniority than all of the roads drivers out of my barn

So if this is true, then why aren't ya on the road board? ?
 
Probably didnt want to do his time on the hog board extra board. Or do his time working nights pounding the patio.
But by God thinks he's entitled to the gravy now.
 
Should be able to bid on only bids available...ex: city opening or road has opening if you are interested you cross over and go on bottom for year and a day....we can't seem to get this at our place. Don't dream you will just get a union due and thats it.......Work Rules.....forget it.. Aint happening. WAKE UP PEOPLE

Whatever the most absurd, ass-backwards option is, I fully expect that to be voted in.



Single boards are a pita from the ground up, and really, very few benefit. Maybe a crotchety old, burned out city driver thats been around longer than turpentine, maybe he could hold the #1 road spot. So yeah, people like that will be happy. But overall, most people are where they want to be. Our top 25 guys are all 50yrs old, and up. I dont see many of them bidding city.

Also, you get people bouncing from road, to city, and back, every bid time, and that creates no consistency in the city. Very few routes are "well known" because people are bidding off them every 6mo.


Lastly, you introduce a hog board, and there will be layoffs. Guaranteed.

With this system you are stuck.....No advancement..... The years you put in should account for something, after all, we ALL started on the bottom
