Rebidding of posts

[superman_1]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I am a member of the R.I. Brotherhood of Correctional Officers. I am the bidded mail officer at the Women's facility of the Adult Correctional Institutions. I won this post through seniority. The facility is old an is being moved to a new location. Even though most of the posts are remaining the same, (a small number are going through changes in duty), the union is having all the posts on the facility rebidded. Would appreciate any information on whether this an unfair practice on the part of my union. Thank you.

How is this addressed in your cba?

The CBA is vague, states seniority follows you everywhere.
However, the faciltiy I work in is not closing, only moving. Union is still forcing re-post even though duties for most posts are not changing. I and many others have already won these post through seniority.

You probably should discretely talk to a lawyer. At least to get some clarity and peace of mind.

Also, you may want to not post about this rather sensitive matter in a public forum.

Let me put it this way, Rhode Island is a small state... not that many old correction houses for women that are moving...
