[QUOTE="quadro, post: 670770, member: 12850"] It's a little unclear about the swing drivers being forced to work. I haven't really taken the time to look into it because at my location most of the swings want to work and sign up anyway so it's never an issue. As for the hours, technically, I suppose you cannot have both as they are one and the same. When FedEx refers to 60 hours they are referring to 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days. Those are the DOT hours of service rules. Anyone, not just RTD's, have their hours reset anytime they have 34 consecutive hours off. If you work just 8 hours and then don't work for 34, you start again from zero. There's really no reason that the M-friend couriers cannot work the 14th as long as you manage the hours. Having the Tue-Sat couriers work the 14th gives them 6 days (feb 9 thru feb 14). Having the M-friend couriers work the 14th gives them 6 days (feb 14 thru feb 19). The Tue-Sat couriers will have to be careful about running into the 60 hours on the 14th depending on how their week went. The M-friend couriers will have to be careful about the 60 hours on the 19th depending on how their week goes. If your managers don't want the M-friend couriers to work then they are denying additional hour opportunities to those employees as well as being shortsighted in their schedule management. [/QUOTE]
