1612 Sears v. Local Union 1292
Case No: 1612
2009
Apparently, there had been some commitment to the high seniority employees that they would be notified of any upcoming overtime opportunities. Assuming he made the promise, there is no reason to believe Committeeperson Bean had in mind overtime opportunities other than those in the Grand Blanc plant. While he did not think to notify the high seniority electricians of the opportunity in Flint, his oversight does not amount to a violation of the collective bargaining agreement that could be addressed through the grievance procedure.
