Sub returns 🤔

[Olive]

Not sure how this can happen so I thought I would ask. We had a sub in our office supposedly quit about two months ago. Now I’ve learned he is returning with his same seniority. How can this be? The route he was subbing on has a new sub already trained. Any thoughts?

if your lazy management didn't follow through with properly recording his resignation letter and removing him from the rolls, then there you go.

perhaps the RCAs could involve your stew.

Ok I can see that happening but wouldn’t someone somewhere notice that he hasn’t worked in months.

you would think so.

but.

we had a sub out for a month and half before finally turning his resignation. our stew then immediately badgered management to get him off the rolls so the job could be posted. i have no idea what lies local management spun to the uppers before the dude finally quit.

It’s complicated.

Sub could have walked out and SAID “I quit”

If they didn’t sign the resignation form and it gets disputed manglement will lose when trying to remove them without going through the disciplinary process.

I've seen this before where they did the "resign or get fired" BS and the person resigned, but fought it and they were forced to bring them back. The person retained everything and got back pay.

First it needs to be determined that the other sub isn't back because of a dispute. Seems odd someone would quit, but come back, so that alone sounds like something else is happening. We are an "at will" organization. We're not forced to fulfill a contract like the military or something.

If not and I was the new RCA I would file a grievance. Especially if there has been new assignments made since the last time the other RCA left.

Either way the union steward could find out what's going on if they contact the DR.
