[QUOTE="Its_a_me, post: 5543443, member: 93115"] Where I am at: you can either do 1 shift (preload where they actually need people) with a guaranteed 3.5 hours or both shifts (pre- and re- loads) with a 8 hour guarantee. They start preload here around 3ish am and finish reloading at 8:30ish. But at night they often dismiss 22.4's closer to 7:45pm if they don't want their guarantee. Since most of them choose to work 1 shift (preload) where they get approx 5 hours anyways and just lose the remaining 3 hours by not working reload. But that is because management isn't held to making a set weekly schedule and the driver stewards are too scared (or too buddy buddy) to call them out--so they treat the drivers as just-in-time labor and let them know the night before at the earliest. Since there is no schedule they can't truly be penalized for not showing up. However, I've also seen them bump in and send lower seniority part-timers home who don't bother coming back to work afterwards--which ends up as totally counterproductive to management's goal of maintaining a viable work force.
