Hello all,
I have worked with my company for over 20 years but have transferred over into a new dept about 2.5 years ago. Seniority is the law of the land at my company and because Ive been with them so long, I've become more senior than some people who have been in the dept longer than me. That being said- I noticed my manager much more lenient with the older employees- the less senior person is to float to another dept if there is a shortage there- she has, on several occasions, tried to get me to do this even though it goes against union rules. She has tried to get me to change the way I submit vacation requests in an attempt to give these dates to someone else. She has given extra hours to less senior employees without offering it to everyone beforehand, and she has only spoken to me about clocking in ON the dot when everyone else can clock in early due to a grace period. Coincidentally, all of the other employees in my job classification are a certain race. The favoritism is absolutely palpable but I'd be lying if I also didn't say I felt as if this was a racial issue as well. I've brought this up to my union who has not been any help at all. Do I have enough to file a complaint through EEOC?
