[QUOTE="Southwestern, post: 923694, member: 33209"] I worked Preload in two centers in two different geographic areas and neither used "OFF/LaidOff." Instead, they listed employees "ALO" (I've never determined what ALO stood for). In one center, management would contact the employees up to one hour after the start of their intended shift should they be needed. At the other, employees were responsible for contacting the Center in the hour proceeding their shift. The union insisted that should the employees be told they weren't needed, they were relieved for the day whereas the company insisted that they could still call the employees in up to one hour past the scheduled shift time. I never got a definite answer. Of course, many managers will harass you if you claim your guarantee. I had a manager that would try to chase us out of the building after 2.5 and begin screaming 'it's a part-time job dangnamit... go work at McDonald's. See if they give you a guarantee. See if they pay you more than min. wage. See if you get benefits.' Meanwhile, his supervisors were pulling add/cuts and walking the belts... I had another that placed a large table in front of an open overhead door -- in the dead of the winter -- and made us write out the 8/5 keys continually until we reached 3.5.... I was on the safety committee for years. I was treated like garbage and never had it easy. The contract specifies that the committee got to choose the co-chair, but management insisted they reserved that privileged, had already trained somebody and wouldn't pay to train another. I use to run the committee, planning & implementing many activities. As she soaked up every available minute, I was never compensated (other than the meetings) but I was young & really enjoyed what I did. In the most humbling moment of my career, the company wanted to fly me to a nice-destination to honor me for a specific activity I did (this was before the cut backs) but guess who management insisted got to go? Pure plagiarism. (And yes, I stopped participating after that). The second most-bitter experience of my working career. . [/QUOTE]
