[QUOTE="BossHaus, post: 2019139, member: 61799"] I am a feeder driver on the Atlantic Supplement. My route got cut 6 months after I came to feeders, so basically I've been on super q for going on 2 years now. My weekly options if there are no vacations to cover are: Work hub sorts Work package Layoff "Hold for work" (Super Q) I've been searching for some info about being on call. When I came to feeders I was forced to sign a sheet that said basically if I don't answer the phone then "I'm in big trouble mister!" Although, I'm sure that's not contractual. Just another sign this or else type of thing. I hear some of the older guys say "just don't answer the phone." There used to be 4 on call jobs (6 hours by the phone then close to the end you go get your hours on the yard). Then the boss man cut the on call jobs to 2. Then guess what, he cut them all. So now holding for work means that you (a) waive your right to 40 hrs (b) sit by the phone from Sunday night, to Friday night WITHOUT GETTING PAID and you better put yourself in an induced coma so you can be ready when they call you. We can pass work, but now they are saying to super q people only. My underlying question after all of this jibber jabber is... Can you be fired or disciplined for not answering? What are the loopholes? (Eg. I'm drunk/not rested) What does the contract say about this? We have some bad weather coming and I want all the info I can get. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
