[QUOTE="km3, post: 2163928, member: 56117"] But at least they're finding a member of the bargaining unit to do the work instead of supervisors. That's what happens when a shift like Twilight or Midnight goes down around here--supervisors start cutting hourlies, and they do the work themselves. That's far worse than if an hourly who happens to get in early gets asked to help out, imo. If they understaff, intentionally or otherwise, I'd rather they try to find a union member to do the work than start working themselves. I get in 30 minutes early every day. For the most part, it's a result of my commute--I drive so far to get to work, that I need to give myself a buffer just in case there's an issue with the traffic along the way. On a bad day, I've barely made it in 5 minutes before sort time. On good days (most days), I get in 25 minutes early. If they ask me to work, I'll do it...and make them pay me overtime for the difference between my actual start time and scheduled start time later. I do agree that it's disgusting for some people to come so early that it's absurd. I see drivers who don't start getting paid until 8:45 at the earliest in the building as early as 7. Now there, I agree wholeheartedly that there's no legitimate reason for them to even be in the parking lot at that point, let alone inside the building. [/QUOTE]
