[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 2251144, member: 5485"] Here, contractually they must post the schedule by the previous Friday. They were very lax at one time and it took a grievance to get them to do it dependably. Anyone, who is not a low seniority cover driver, is listed by their route, with the remainder listed as "call in." They usually cut the same one or two routes first if they're going to cut. I bid a route, when gained enough seniority, that was never cut to avoid that scenario, although my first two earlier routes were cut continually. They used that same old "Billy Bob doesn't know that route, so we need your knowledge there, and we don't know when (if ever) he'll be trained on that one" line on me too. Soooo I helped them out by taking sick days that enabled Billy Bob the opportunity to learn it cold like we did in the good old days. Win/win. If a driver, regardless if seniority, is on that list, he/she is guaranteed 8 hours. If they bring you in and have no work, they need to either 1. Find a route for you somehow, which is usually easy to get a volunteer to take a dead day, or 2. Pay you and send you home. [/QUOTE]
