If they are doing out of scope work, and are not being paid enough to compensate for it, It's not surprising that you are having difficulty filling the spot. The only real options are push the work back to the managers, or re-scope the work officially to the Sr. Techs, and compensate them at a rate that makes good techs WANT the promotion.
As one of the Techs, and the Steward, that's my take on it as well, but I wanted to see if others had alternative ideas of what the Company may suggest or try.
That's about right. You have to kick it up to management so they can grasp the concept that it is an undesirable position and for ABC reasons.
If they refuse to acknowledge this and change the format, then I'd say they are stuck with a vacancy unless they can over-ride and simply dump Sr. Tech work in a distributed fashion to the remaining candidates (such as yourself and the other team members) to fulfill the duties without the overhead.
I dont see that flying in a union shop, so it seems an adjustment is needed on Sr. Tech. In the non-union world, this type of workflow distribution is very common today.
