[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1547039, member: 12508"] I'm not going to spend the time looking-up laws for 50 states. I'm aware that forcing employees to be "on-call" without pay isn't legal. Basic labor law. This is essentially what a "weather line" is...on-call. Just curious, do you have them at UPS? I'm thinking definitely not. I have never heard of any instances where FedEx has sent someone home who shows up for work at their scheduled time and ignores the weather line. If they could, they would, because they are effing cheap. This speaks volumes about the legality of what they are doing. Our management would happily quote policy and send you packing [I]sans [/I]pay, except there is no policy...because it isn't legal. Enlighten me, Dave, and if you want to research all of the state laws, be my guest. [/QUOTE]
