[QUOTE="V and H, post: 1976731, member: 61424"] Yes, I read everything in this thread about three times. When I got to work, the BA and steward were both there so we talked about all of my concerns. This is what the BA said: (1) Our local allows drivers to come in before their start time and tighten up their load, but they [B]cannot[/B] pull off the belt--the part timer has to do that. Our steward says he has always done this because he likes to get off early and he bonuses. So that settles it as far some of my coworkers [B]volunteering[/B] to set up their load before start time. (2) The BA called my bid route "regular work" and the EAMs "extra work". He said management definitely [B][I]can[/I][/B] pull me off of EAMs on a Friday morning [B]and[/B] send me out on a split car if I wouldn't be able to finish my "regular work", which, as I said, is a route 25+ minutes away over a mountain pass. The BA said that this is for operational reasons. I get my 60 paid weekly hours anyway so there is nothing to grieve. (3) When I brought up the "overallowed" issue, they seemed amused and said "We don't worry about that and you shouldn't either. If you get a letter or get pulled in the office with a steward, we can take it from there". They noted that I was one of the older drivers, and that my age and physical condition would be a factor if my performance were further scrutinized. The BA and steward know the manner in which I work and they said "just keep doing what you're doing". As far as putting a bigger target on my back, I [I][B]never[/B][/I] do [I][B]anything[/B][/I] that could even [I][B]possibly[/B][/I] get me in any trouble. I am super paranoid about making sure I keep the job. One of the perks of having nothing to hide is being able to bring my concerns to management or the union, which I have done often and they probably consider me a PITA. [/QUOTE]
