My company has changed their drafting policy to "upgrade" employees to fill vacancies in another dept ($8+ an hour extra) by most available "" however they do not follow seniority. My union is in their 3rd step with it and daily i man losing money. They failed to explain most available, and draft an entire department which in my eyes means that they are not available if they need to remove and entire shift from their duties. Instead of these available junior men backfilling senior guys they take them and tell me they have the right to manage, now since we are in the third step the union feels it is not in their best interest to grieve this. Is there legal grounds for suing the company for lost wages? Per union contract seniority is the first thing. There is no "availability" worded in this
