8 hour req

How does your local handle 8 hour requests and violations?

They try to honor them sometimes here but other times they pretend they cant hoping you wont file; sup tried to convince me if I dont file they will make sure I get another 8 hour next friday; cant do that jack extra contractual agreement; going to have to file on them;

Lol side note as im writing this at lunch in a cafe a woman came up and said she is an ex driver and she was glad to see im taking.my.full break; told her the 8 hour situation and she said hell yes dont let them get away.with.anything!! Lol happy fu friday everyone
10% of the workforce on Monday dispatch dictates him may are alowed for the week. Say 62 routes are in on Monday 6 eight hours a day. 66 routes then it's rounded to seven. Oh practice is 3 per person per month but if there isn't a maximum for any days you can go over as much as the openings allow.


You are allowed to bring the work back in order to make your 8 hour request without discipline.

When I was a younger driver and was denied 8hrs bc senior drivers were approved over me, it was none of my business what they were using their day for. I never once said, "hey man, do you REALLY need an 8 hour day? Cause I really need one and was denied." Seniority is seniority, and it's still none of my business what people are using their 8hr days for, optional a or sick days. I know where I rank, and I plan accordingly to take care of my own personal business, weather it's to make more money, or to go get a beer for happy hour. Doesn't matter. And it's none of your business either. I'm not breaking any laws.

Wait till everyone has a few beers

Oh hell now. Its obvious many people ALREADY have trouble comprehending any posts over three sentences long without the presence of alcohol in their blood. I don't think I can be apart of this thread if they come back after a few beers. Or hey maybe they'll be those rare types that are actually able to perceive things better with a buzz?

A buzz just makes it more fun.

Yeah....its none of my business, yet.....you were more than willing to clearly state your intentions for your 8 hour requests (including admitting to purposely trying to line your pockets) very early in the thread and without being asked to and without being forced to. Hmmm.......

LOL!
