I question whether the people in the CE office are working for the union or the company.

I was bumped from a class so the company could train an instructor. I was not told about the bump until the day class was supposed to start.

That instructor was 10 years junior to me, yet he got my training slot, which forced me to start the following week, allowing another junior guy (in the new week class) to activate before me. I went to CE requesting passover pay, and they said, you don't get it. Company says I don't get it.

Recap: The company bumped me from a class for a person way junior to me. This resulted in a second person, who was in my exact seat, activating before me. I believe I should get passover pay, but the company does not, and CE won't fight for it for me.

I am going to the union office this week to grieve it.

Why bother having a contract if the union won't fight to protect it?
