Good thinking. You could always fly them out for,the weekend to relieve the nanny and for R and R with yourself and the girls.

Ok, so maybe I can hand that to the union and the company, and tell them I am not going anywhere, please keep me working here if you can....I guess the union will argue that out with the company though....

In your shoes, I would have had my resume out and in action 6 weeks ago.

Push back with your admin. Involve your union rep and ask that they step in on your behalf.Start a discussion, not a fire. Post with kindness.

^^ terrible advice. Focus on maintaining the childrens' current patterns, which would include their school, neighbors and yes, the other parent. Children require both parents to be actively involved to the best of their abilities and honestly a job should never take priority over a parent.

I can understand your frustration as I have been through similar experiences. I also have sole custody an uninvolved ex and travel is reqired for my employment. I also work in a unionized environment so am familiar with seniority issues.
When my children were younger I would use a nanny and limit my trips away to as short a duration as possible. Now that they are older they are ca aple of caring for themselves.
If this was part of your union contract in my opinion it would not constitute a material change in circumstances.
As for the seniority issue you should have the option of bumping someone local with less seniority. If you are low man on the pole then your out of luck.
If you don't agree with your union stop paying your dues and apply your skills in the non union sector. If your any good at what you do it shouldn't be to hard.
