If I need an extra couple hundred bucks I go into the pile in my sock drawer. Not working is one of my favorite hobbies. BM
773, I use to get forced to work fridays for straight time and that sucked. But now that I can volunteer for dble time, it makes it alot easier, I don't have to work, but the $ is good, the work is easy, and my wife likes when I split it with her. I'm not sure why or how I would grieve something i volunteered for
What I don't understand is how some of the full-timers that signed up didn't get to work, yet, part-timers were forced to work?
Dog, This is what big arrow up said. If you signed up and didn't work, but they forced p/timers that should be grievable....agree?
I just came home from my double time day (which in reality is triple time with the holiday) and I have to say that this company really know's how to throw away the money!!!! 6 of us worked, sat for most of the day talking. I got 11.5 hour's and didn't do a damn thing but make a few move's here and there. Not bad for a $1000 day!!! But might as well get it now because come Jan they will be kicking us out in 8hr's...

Yeah, just think about how much money they pay management to do nothing!!
Hey Red.... Next time you want to make a statement know what you are talking about..Here where I work ALL employee's that worked today were paid 2x plus the holiday that goes for part time and full time. I ought to know I am the steward here and I also had that put in our local supplement during our contract negotations in 2002....
Yea....I'm going to apologize for something other local's weren't smart enough to put in there local supplement. The B/A's who didn't get that put in should be doing the apologizing to there union brother's. Get real man!!!!As you can see Jumper, alot of the folks in other areas do have to work and did not get the great bonuses that you personally fought for. Imo, I think you owe 705 an apology.
I was speaking of my knowledge of the contract and from what i have talked about with others around the contract and we were not aware this language even existed. If you are a steward can you explain what kind of language you have to override the overide language in the pre-amble of article 40 which covers the air language? Is there anyway you can post it for all to view, and who knows maybe it can help with changing this in our contract.Hey Red....

Just as i wont be apoligizing for getting better in the 08 contract than the national. In my locals defense they were not in power in 02 and our contract had freight hands all over it, but now we have plenty of ups agents who will get us better( crap they cant get us any worse). I would like to see that language however, if its to much to type, maybe you can mail me a copy.Yea....I'm going to apologize for something other local's weren't smart enough to put in there local supplement.
