Required to drive on Saturday?

[Sculpin]

I am a preloaded. I also do some air driving. Mainly shuttling late air out to drivers during the week as needed; sometimes I make deliveries on Saturdays (about 2 days a month on average). I have a volunteering obligation this coming Saturday and I am afraid that I am going to be required to work (I now have the lowest seniority). Two guys on the air driver list went to FT ground. If they ask me to, am I requires to work on Saturday? What are the repercussions if I say no?

Just tell them you are unavailable on Monday. Solve it before it becomes a problem.

Under Art. 40 I believe they can force you to drive on Saturdays. Very seldom enforced in my building except for the Friday after Thanksgiving. Of course they can't stop you from calling in sick.

Tell them first thing Monday morning.

Tell them on Monday morning that you have another important obligation for Saturday. That puts the ball in their court.

I am not sure if they can force you. PT Car Washer says they can. I'd ask one of your stewards at the hub.

If they have no one else available they can force him to work.

In my ctr our utility drivers are so unreliable that we often have FT drivers working Saturday air. Easy OT.

Most PTers work 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet. They often don't have enough legal hours to work on Saturday.

Very few PTers report total hours worked.

They do when they don't want to work Saturday.

When I was a Part-timer I also had a full time job. I worked every Saturday delivering air for 2 years. Only had 1 day off a week until I went into FT Pkg driver.

The last 30 years the only time I worked 6 days a week was when I wasn't working 7 days a week.

When you enjoy doing what you are being paid for, is it still considered work?

Isn't that why we go to work everyday. To provide for our families. When you enjoy what you do, it doesn't seem like work at all.

This new center manager is doing his best to keep me from enjoying my job. I am doing my best to help him from keeping his job.
