[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 851930, member: 18044"] Three-and-a-half hours [B]is[/B] "a few hours"!!! Very few. We are talking about an employee that UPS chose to hire, despite their general reluctance to hire additional employees, even when desperately needed. This part-timer makes only $8.50 per hour. And doesn't yet qualify for health insurance or vested pension credit. His expenses for car, gas, dues, and initiation fees alone require that he work a certain minimum number of hours just to make coming to work worth the time and trouble. No matter what the situation, there will always be a New Hire who is struggling to get hours, and a Yet-To-Be-Hired who the Company keeps stringing along. All a union can do is try to keep the jerking around to a minimum. There are proper proceedures for laying off an employee. Being laid off properly may be preferable to driving into work and being told to go home right now. - - - - MattRyan, the Contract clause is . . . ARTICLE 22. PART-TIME EMPLOYEES Sections 5.Wages "All part-time employees governed by this Article shall be provided a minimum daily three and one-half (3-1/2) hour guarantee." Note it says [B]ALL[/B]. If the parties ment only [U]Seniority[/U] part-timers, they would have said "Seniority part-timers . . ." Are you being sent home without [U]any[/U] work, or are they just sending you home after three hours or so? [/QUOTE]
