[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 763046, member: 18708"] You are the union, first of all. The rules in our area are: If you are not notified one (1) hour before your shift of a layoff, you are entitled to work and entitled to 3.5 (inside) hours at the minimum. If they attempt to send you home, you deny and invoke your hourly guarantee and recieve flak, I would say "ok we disagree, hold that thought..." and get steward involved. Fill out the grievance, get your copy, and you should get paid to sit at home. However, a quick chat between union steward and sup should work that out. Just keep in mind I have seen people that wanted to enforce their rights and they ended up being either laid off or forced onto preload /sunrise shift , from twilight. This likely happened over the other sorts as well including day sort. Most of us in the workgroup with seniority took dead days/ VLOs to protect them for as long as we could to keep them working , but in the end the co. cut staffing to the point and hours to the point a reshuffling was in order.
