Does CLT use the bid by appointment system?Charlotte Fleet Service shift bid posted Mon evening 18May to be bid now get this ON MEMORIAL DAY Mon 25May.
dont feel too lonely cuz BWI we are supposenly be bidding next mon and we were given workbrain notices that if people swapped theyd have to redo it in the systemCharlotte Fleet Service shift bid posted Mon evening 18May to be bid now get this ON MEMORIAL DAY Mon 25May. Now what kind of crap is that that station management is pulling on the Fleet Service group. Many of the people have already swapped this day off & have plans to be with their families. On top of this this was NEVER sent to us in Workbrain just stuck up this evening.
I for one hope our shop stewards & higher ups will be all over this.
Does CLT use the bid by appointment system?
Based on what I have seen in the past, most of the large stations do the bidding on T/W/T to avoid the long weekedns. I suppose that you will have to put in a proxy bid, but I know that most prefer to be there in person to ensure things are done properly. You can also bid by proxy with a person you trust to oversee your bid by listing them on your papers. Although bidding on a Holiday isn't the norm, I doubt that anyone can force the issue. As usual things like this are very vauge in the current contract. From what I can see the only language about bidding, states that any given station must bid a minimum of 3 times a year, but can do more if needed.
