scatcat, The answer is NO..{at least it used to be, I have'nt checked on this recently}, If a guy decides to take a management job, He stops acurring seniority for 6 months, Then, after the 6 months is up, and he decides to stay in management, He starts losing his seniority one day at a time.

Can anyone confirm or deny this situation ?

How's that going to make it any quicker, I worked under that so called agreement for 16 years.
And still never understood it. Black and White isn't Black and White when it comes to the IAM.

I agree, if you read lines 42-46 it say's"position above first line supervisor or higher will forfeit any and all
seniority" so the way it's written first line supervisors would maintain their seniority? but I have a feeling
the above might be a typo .

Hey Scat, I was always told (by union officials) what it comes down to is "Letters of intent". You know, the letters we never get to see. Therefore black & white plainspeak means nothing. Also just so everyone knows I was a steward for apprx. 8 years, so I occasionally was naive enough to think I understood our contract.

HMMM...wonder where wonder boy is on all this IAM bashing...must be at a union meeting trying to interpret the contract before posting the FACTS.

If you take a job any higher then a front line foreman you lose all seniority in the classification.

If you take a front line foreman's job and pay your dues for six months you acrrue six months more seniority, after the sixth month you stand still and everyone else passes you pay on a daily basis.

Glad to see you can only insult once again.

Have you read The Scarlett Letter lately?

I read that in Junior High...Have you read the Screw Tapes Letters lately, that would shine a light for your path so you stop tripping, or at least understand why you are stumbling.

is that the way it goes for all IAM members or just mechanics and related? I only ask this cause I dont want to get ripped by 700uw for posting something under the mechs only section of this thread
