Well this was one of my big issues as it is for many drivers in our center. The language is virtually unchanged. The Opt-in or Opt-out issue is a joke. And Triple time only after you go through to whole grievance procedure numerous times. This is exactly what it is now. I filed 18 times in 17 months and got no where. Now the only thing I did was put a target on my back and have to deal with 2 days of 11-14 hour dispatches and my boss telling me he can do that as long as he doesnt go over 3 in a week. The only problem is I don't know what days he is going to screw me. Is it going to be the night my son has a baseball game that I should be there to coach or is going to be the night that my daughter has her play at school that I want to see. We can not plan anything with this system.
This is a NO vote for me until this gets changed. Instead of a Opt-in or Opt-out list how about a Over 9.5 list. Those who sign the list want to work over 9.5 and those that dont want to be in and off the clock by 9.5. This can be done on a monthly basis. Then if you know you are okay with it for a month or two then you can sign up. The USPS does this and the mailman in my area say it works great. If no one signs up then we do it in Senority order. Overtime is offered to senior employess and forced to juinor employees. With PAS this should be as easy as it is to screw someone with a 14 hour day.
Each of you that thinks this is an issue need to contact your business agent and tell them this need to be fixed or its a NO vote. How can your business agent in his right mind think that it is okay for you to work until 8-9-or 10pm at least 2 days a week whenever your manager wants to cut cars. Remember for every 12 hour day two of us works that means they sent someone home. Help that guy out. We have 80 drivers in our center if everyone worked an 12 hour day 2 days a week think of how many drivers are getting laid off.
