Go to the union office and ask to speak to the union president. Bring the contract language in question with you and the proposed hiring dates. Then let the union handle it and the chips fall where they may. If the other person slipped through on a technicality, so be it. If the other person is wrongly assigned a seniority date by an incompetent district office, the union will catch it. Don't go through your union rep and if asked why, tell them you are concerned the rep either does not know the answers or is biased. As a union rep myself, I am new to the job this year. If you came to me, I would research the issue with the union office regardless of how I felt about the situation. Sadly, that is not always the case. Good luck to you!
