This situation gets crazier by the day! 2 of my co-workers that were layed off with me out of Tulsa were offered carpenter positions at the base on Jan 3rd or 4th. They had until Monday Jan 7th.to accept or decline. 1 has accepted the other refused. The same position I was awarded on Dec 14th. They do have more seniority in Title III than me however I was offered the position first and told that I was the only one qualified. I still have not heard a thing on my award. But the really crazy part is neither of these men were on the current transfer list for carpenter. They both had summited transfer requests in all catagories of Title II back in November to try and get any job they could land. However after they found out that they must provide 36 months of credited experience they retracted their transfers for carpenter because they were not qualified by their own admission.. They went ahead with their interviews for other areas, 1 went for painter the other a welder. They did not recieve the 36 months in either area from their interviews. Now they were offered jobs that they were not even on the transfer list for. Both will admit to this! Its my understanding that they pulled the transfer list from back in November. I have made a couple of calls about this to people within the company and the union. I understand meetings are scheduled later this week to discuss this crazy, crazy ordeal. I'm beginning to wonder if this is truly a simple mistake or something much more unethical. The things that make you go HMMMM ! I will be moving foward this week to the next step. I know I'm a man with a bulls eye on him now. I will always feel that someone is ready to retaliate now that I have brought out this truth. Do you really think I have a fair chance at passing the test now! Its really a shame! We just wanted to do the right thing from the very beginning to land a job in Tulsa to stay with our families. We did not deserve this! I wish now that I would have never been told about those jobs! This has caused us and our families a lot of unnecessary stress and hardship. I look foward to a written explaination from the company on how this all went downand how Sam and Debbie remained as a in station transfer and how they both are still listed as fleet service clerks in TULE on the seniority list as of this morning. 1 month after fleet service was shut down and laid off. Dont believe check jetnet yourself. TULE fleet seniorty list. Sam has given his written explaination already to all of us. He still has not called any of us 3 to update us or explain. Do you really want us back Sam. Actions speak louder than words! You seem to be a man in hiding. Like I said before the things that make you go HMMM!!!
