Mechanic talk

[1BROWNWRENCH]

All the work we can't fit in 40 hours gets farmed out to some crappy cutrate non-union scab shop. I would be fine to work on a Saturday to prevent those jokers from installing an engine. The last 3 they did all came back with mysterious wiring issues they never had before.

Is a Barret-Jackson rebuild a term for a Basket Case? Like some clapped out piece of junk from CA?

Yes, it's getting ALOT of work. Actually we got rid of our old training car and the "new to us" training car came from California. It was weird to see a 20+ year package car without rust!

We have to be getting overtime, at least an hour a day, if work gets sent out.

Is that OT rule in the contract somewhere?

It's in our local supplement

I work 0 overtime, 8 hours is long enough for me. Our working hours make me not want to work any overtime. Im 5 miles from the center. It takes me 12 minutes to get to work and 10 to get home. From the time I leave my house to the time I get home is roughly 8.5 hours. I skip lunch.

 

[wayfair]

I skip lunch.

do they allow that for mechanics?

do they allow that for mechanics?

They do where I work. Same work place, different rules.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Done with the Engagement Survey? They picked a really bad time to ask me.

I wound up instigating a PCM over red diesel yesterday. An honest mistake, perhaps. $10k fine for each offense in this state.

A driver fueled with off road diesel?

Yes he did. Not the first case I've seen either at UPS. It's at the pumps across the street. The state takes a real dim view of that.

I A M.

 

[dragracer66]

I would file a grievance the next time they send out work without asking you guys to work 6th/7th days. That's a big time no no. That's in the contract.....

Sure they will... it won't be long before we go under 30 an hour.

Our BA does not reply to any emails I send his way.

 

[chargedformula]

Same here. We've been trying to find anything out in our local and it's all hush hush. Nobody seems to be able to respond back. Hmmmm
