Call in to see if you are working

[UPSER1987]

Thanks. I was asked to be one but I told my BA that I didn't feel I'd be able to give it the proper amount of time the members deserve.

That’s hilarious, because you seem to be on these forums 24/7. At least get pay for it pretender.

4 months as an RPCD. I get calling in, but is it reasonable to call in 4 times? 7:30,8:00, 9:15 and 11:00?

What's RPCD?

Phoenix. It’s a sad group. Just worried about days off. You are your own. There is so much mis-information and apathy here because no one will take the time to organize education.

So step up and become a steward. You bitch about it enough. Do something about it.

Regular Package Car Driver... RPCD

That’s the norm. It’s not your fault. It’s the ol’ bait and switch...take your money and run.
Even though you’re a dues paying member, you’ll have to do a lot of your own homework. Most stewards are there for their own self interests.

Don't be so harsh on the union leadership, come election time they are out in full force!

That’s the problem- that mindset. Everyone should do something about it. You being on these forums 24/7 changes none of the things YOU bitch about.

Lol
I'm very involved. I go to every general membership meeting. I have devoted personal time to passing out information in the early am and late PM to multiple buildings. I introduce myself to new members and educate them on the union and who their stewards are.

All of this without even being a steward.

When was the last time you even went to a general membership meeting. All you do is bitch about drivers using the contract and being lazy in your eyes.

To be fair, if the back of my package car were over 150 degrees most of the year, I'd be pretty worried about days off too.

Hard to tell, better safe than sorry.
@UPSER1987 get upset if we don't educate posters

If they dont need me by 9 I wouldn't show up. Unless you need to work then just show up.

Then you'd be terminated. His contract clearly says till 12.

No. Call in once and if sups say you're not needed, turn off your phone.

Hope this helps.

What if they say I’m needed at 3 but call in again just to make sure we don’t have something before then?

Then they have given you a start time. You can call again, but they are supposed to call you if they need to change the start time.

The local union must be weak if they allow this garbage.

Did you call your BA like we said to? These are perfect questions for your BA.
