Seniority Issues
1816 Boehmer v. UAW Region 1A

VIEW DETAILS 1462 Morgan v. Local Union 832
We are not confronted with the question whether the Union could have persuaded an arbitrator to enforce Morgan’s right to bump into the Packer/Stocker position over Management’s objection. The record supports the conclusion that but for the Local President’s intervention Morgan would have been allowed to bump into the Packer/Stocker ...
VIEW DETAILS 1496 Ray-Barrett and Sanders v. Local Union 652
The new plant uses a system of teams whose members must be able to perform each of the tasks assigned to the team. There were no openings available on any teams that did not include at least one job outside of appellants’ physical restrictions. There is no evidence that the ...
VIEW DETAILS 1511 Espinosa v. Local Union 719

VIEW DETAILS 1524 Sasaki v. Local Union 1853

VIEW DETAILS 1535 Eardley v. Local Union 1112
Eardley complains that WEMR’s are being allowed to bring their skilled-trades seniority into the Electrician classification to the disadvantage of Electricians. The WEMR and the Electrician classification are related in this location, so time spent in the WEMR classification is the equivalent of time spent in the Electrician classification. The ...
VIEW DETAILS 1539 Harmon v. Region 1A
The Union has demonstrated that its interpretation of the tie breaker provision is consistent with the language of the applicable collective bargaining agreements and the past practice at this location.
VIEW DETAILS 1547 Chester and Golden v. Region 4
Appellants knew in 1990 that less senior employees had been working in the Chip and Grind classification while they were laid off and that the Local Union Chairperson did not intend to grieve the issue.

VIEW DETAILS 1558 Bellew v. UAW DaimlerChrysler Dept.
Bellew has not identified any contract language that was violated by his placement. The fact that individual employees may have been consulted in the past and allowed to choose between alternative options for placement does not constitute an enforceable past practice. There is no basis in this record for concluding ...
