[QUOTE="donna723, post: 370585, member: 1883"] Andy, we don't have a union. State employees here are not allowed to have a union. We do have an Employees Association though and I sent them a copy of the grievance. We each have separate immediate supervisors but "A" is over them all, and in the case of "D", she directly works for him. This whole thing is because he would rather have "S" working for him than "D". And nobody is really losing a job, he just wants us all to switch places. But in my case, where he wants me to go is a quarter mile walk up and down a huge flight of steps in 99 degree weather and I'm really taking my chances trying to do that - besides the fact that we'll all will be lost trying to do each others jobs and no real training available. So he's taking me out of a job that I can easily do at my age and trying to put me into another one that will be dangerous to my health and safety. And we all know exactly where we rank in seniority because we all came within months of each other. We've had all kinds of cutbacks too and in this rural area there just are not any other State jobs within driving distance. I was talking to my sister in law on the phone tonight and was telling him about it. He suggested that I call the ACLU! He said they love to get cases like this! And first thing Monday I'm gonna do it! It really qualifies as age discrimination because they're taking me out of my job that I can do and putting me in another one that I will have a difficult time with due to my age and physical condition, making me choose between endangering my health or being forced to retire early and put myself into financial jeopardy.
