transfer of person into DO thats on more hours before offer hours to part timer

[nuns]

can a manager transfer a person in from another office on their current contract without asking part timers if they want the hours first?
ie 30/35 hours but part timer wanting more hours
should the union rep be letting it go thru

if they know the right people then definitely yes

Without knowing all the details it is impossible to say.

If your office had a vacancy then why wasn't your rep pushing for those hours to be filled internally?
If there is a reason the person was allowed to transfer, it might remain confidential and you will never know.

Yes, seen it a few times, full time incoming transfer, higher seniority as you'd imagine, end up on a half decent duty.

Reason for transfer is a bit hush hush and not mentioned at the time but it becomes apparent later.

yeah i trasferred as a full timer to another office,i moved tp the other side of the country,took 17 yrs seniority with me at the time.A year later there was a resign so i picked a rural.Its a big company so people have the chance to move if there circumstances change.

I’ve just transferred into an office with full time hours and a fair chunk of seniority. From what I gather if the hours are there then they will transfer you.
