[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1198513, member: 42270"] That Southern Supplement language is some of the worst in any supplement, barring the 17(i) caveat in the Central Region. That being said, if an hourly can't take the time to call in an hour before the sort (as is contractually required) then there isn't much the union should do for them. If a union member wants to bang out four days a week and bring home a $50 check while he smokes dope on his parents' couch in the basement, that's cool with me. But NCNS are [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]ing other members out of hours they might want or need. That same wastoid member needs to be calling in an hour before the sort so the company [B]cannot[/B] use the staffing excuse (NCNS and general attendance are still used as an excuse for supervisors working in my area) if other employees are available for double shifts. That one hour time frame was presumably agreed upon because it's more than enough time for the FT supervisor to get permission from the sort manager for OT and then blow the dust off the double shifting list. It's taken us a while to force the company to do so in my hub, but it's become a semi-regular thing and I don't have much sympathy for an hourly not giving their supervisor the one hour notice before calling out with the exception of a genuine emergency.
