An employee shall have thirty (30) days to protest his placement on the seniority list once it is first posted. If there is no written protest within this thirty (30) day period, the employee shall not have a right to challenge his placement on the list thereafter.

Article 5
Section 1. Seniority
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](a). Upon completion of the probationary period, the employee’s seniority for all purposes shall be the first day worked as a probationary employee. Seniority shall be broken only by discharge, voluntary quit, normal retirement, or more than a two (2) year layoff, or leave, except for employees on workers compensation leave who shall not suffer a break in seniority unless on leave for more than three (3) years. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](b). A list of employees arranged in the order of their seniority shall be posted on the Union bulletin board no less often than once every six (6) months. A copy of the seniority posting shall be sent to the Local Union. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](c). Any controversy over the seniority standing of any employee on the seniority list shall be subject to the grievance procedure. An employee shall have thirty (30) days to protest his placement on the seniority list once it is first posted. If there is no written protest within this thirty (30) day period, the employee shall not have a right to challenge his placement on the list thereafter. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](d). For full-time employees there shall be two seniority lists, "local cartage" and "over-the road." There shall also be a separate "casual local cartage" seniority list. Employees in the following classifications shall be included on the local cartage seniority list: all truck drivers, helpers, dock workers, jockeys, and such other employees as may be presently or hereafter represented by the Union, engaged in local pickup, delivery, and assembling of freight. The "over-the-road" seniority list shall include all over-the-road drivers whose primary job is to [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]transport freight between the Employer’s facilities. Nothing within this paragraph shall preclude the Company from requesting a road driver to make extra stops to pick up or deliver freight in connection with his regular run or performing other local cartage work as the Company may assign. It is not the intent of the Company that this provision be utilized to diminish cartage employees’ work. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](e). The Company shall offer extra city or dock work to road employees who are on layoff and who are qualified and immediately available for city or dock work prior to using casual employees, except where there is a mutually agreed procedure to the contrary. No road employee shall gain "local cartage" seniority under this provision, but he/she shall accrue Company seniority. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](f). The following shall apply to casual employees: [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](i) The date an employee is hired as a casual will be the casual seniority date. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](ii) A casual employee laid off due to lack of work for less than one year will retain his/her casual seniority. Company and job classification seniority shall be lost due to discharge, voluntary quit or retirement. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](iii) The date a casual employee obtains full-time employment shall be the employee’s regular seniority date. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](iv) A casual employee whose layoff exceeds one (1) year shall be considered to have been terminated and shall lose seniority, but may reapply for employment. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](v) A full-time employee’s seniority shall prevail over a casual employee’s seniority in case of layoff. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](vi) If a full-time position is available for bid, and is not bid upon by a qualified regular full-time employee, the casual employee with the most seniority who bids on the position will be awarded the position if he or she meets the minimum qualifications of the position. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](vii) Casual employees will be laid off and recalled to their job classification in accordance with Section 2 below. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](viii) Casual employees hired prior to September 1, 2006 who possess a CDL shall become full-time employees after two (2) years. If the employee does not possess the CDL by January 1, 2009, this provision shall no longer apply. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](g). In developing the initial Local Cartage seniority list referenced above, the Company shall use the employee’s Company seniority date unless a particular employee transferred into his current service center from another service center. In such event, the employee’s transfer date to the current service center shall be used to develop the seniority list. [/FONT]​

[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]...is this really that hard to comprehend...or is it just stupidity run amok...:hide:[/FONT]​
 
Very clear....if you do not like the date, then you have 30 days to file a greivence protesting the senoirity date. This will allow the Union to see your orgianal files for when you were first hired, and what for.

Do not wait until the 29th day to do so....please?
 
senority

The way I read it, its your first day of employment.
But as of right now its the old way of several seniority lists.

Your senority for company time goes by your hire date full time is your full time date this does not count your parttime hire date.if parttime this is your senority start date.came from the local union hall and in the contract.:smilie_132::smilie_132:
