[QUOTE="sdf6hr2, post: 588169, member: 18356"] although my/our jobs and areas are different, that is exactly what they here ("here" being nda air ramp @ sdf) .... we are allowed to get our guaruntee hrs. only; no overtime unless of course we have bad weather, then we have to stay, "you leave its 'job abandonment'". several crews of new hires are brought in mid way thru night and are the ones responsible for staying late for clean up, late arrivals, reloads, etc. all to prevent existing senior employees from getting over hrs. and premium time. fine, i understand the motivation. save money. but, in order to keep me and senior employees like me from getting a few extra hrs. per wk. 'to save money', they have to: 1. hire and compensate an additional employee. (keep in mind that here almost all new employees are in the metro college prog. meaning ups not only pays and insures (after one year), we cover tution, reimburse for books, give housing allowances, award end of semester bonuses, i'm sure the list goes on.) 2. train new employee. i do not maintain that basic ramp work is very complicated or difficult to learn, but: 18 yr. olds + powered equipment + $20 million a/c = white knuckles all night. 3. alluded to above- pay for accidents, injuries and damages. not only are new empls. more likely to have all of the above, the "law of averages" would seem to dictate that more workers = more possible incidents. 4. promote someone to supervise new empls. and theorecticaly (i know, not spelled right) the promoted one would be one of the better existing employees. thereby further reducing the experienced employee pool. i am not sure about supv. compenstion, but i assume that becoming a sup. means getting a raise. 1.-4. all cost something, i am not sure how for each item, but somthing. i [B]am[/B] sure that taking on a new metro college hire for 3 hrs./night to keep me from getting over guarnteed hrs. is a loser financially, however, its being done here. who's to say that this won't be tried elsewhere?....
