[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1229492, member: 42270"] If the operation is "overstaffed" (UPS' definition and the union's definition are probably oceans apart..) then management is supposed to ask employees if they want to go home -- in seniority order. It makes the most sense from the union perspective (seniority gives the right to work or right NOT to work) and from the company perspective (higher seniority PT'ers typically make more in wages than their junior coworkers.) You aren't "required" to attain your 3.5 hours if you don't want it, it's there to guarantee a PT'er at least a 17.5 hour week. Even though every one can benefit from a voluntary/unscheduled day off every now and then, PT'ers regularly refusing their 3.5 hour guarantee and going home while supervisors do their job instead is one of the most irritating things about being a PT shop steward.
