I feel like these repetitive threads are being forced on me.

I haven't worked a Saturday for UPS in my 34+ years and will not start now. You may be coming in on the weekends but you will NEVER see me there.You demanding 8 hours will not stop the Friday/Saturday working....sorry to pop your bubble. If customers did not want their packages on Saturday we would not have to work, so until the day you and I retire from UPS we will be working the friday after TG and Saturdays.
You are more than welcome to leave at any point.
I wish that you would exercise this right.
I have a 22.3 job; I do sort set-up, man the PM Customer Counter, process Exceptions from Drivers, load the Air Shuttle, do Haz-Mats, etc. On Friday the 18th I was told that on Friday the 25th (day after Thanksgiving) CC would be closed, and in order for me to be allowed to work that day, I had to sign a paper stating I would work for actual hours only. Same thing was said to our Centers PM 22.2, and both 22.3 who work AM. We have a 22.2 on the AM, as of now I don't know what was said to him.
Contract states under ARTICLE 15-HOLIDAYS, Section 4:
"Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, regular seniority
employees required to work on any of the above named holidays
shall receive double his/her regular hourly rate for all hours worked
with a guarantee of eight (8) hours for full-time employees..."
I see nothing else in the Contract that would fall under the "Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement" portion. Am I missing something?
The past two years, I have worked my normal job on the day after Thanksgiving.
I don't know what to do. I think I have two options...
Another thought, as the day after Thanksgiving is now a 'normal' operations day, if the Company gets away with this, what is to stop UPS from telling FT employees they can only have actual hours on any given day?
- Not sign the paper, not work, file a Grievance under Art. 15, and for being denied the right to work, whatever Article that would fall under.
- Sign the paper "Under Protest," work Friday, file for the lost hours under Art. 15. But does signing the paper, even "Under Protest" waive my right to 8 hours?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Without reading the entire thread, off the top of my head, looks like a violation of article 6 (extra-contractual agreements)
Tell them that as a FT seniority employee, you have the right to work before any PTers
and that if you come in, you want your 8
Grieve as necessary.
What you were told and what the contract states are two different thinks. And yes- I am aware that there is more drivel you have already posted with your opinion. LolWe are being told that we will be working for hours on each of the Saturdays between BF and CE.
Not everywhere...If your being forced your guaranteed 8 hours.
Well, you hope you get it. You really are not paying attention.I got mine and don't give a about anyone else.
