[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4171307, member: 63706"] Ok, [I]I [/I]reread it from your angle, and I can see what you're saying. The problem I see with interpreting it that way is that section 2 very clearly states that any employee with seniority standing that is put to work is guaranteed 8 hours. If section 3 made an exception to that, it should say "except as provided in section 3". If you read section 3 with that in mind I think it supports my interpretation. Another reason I read it that way is because I have worked with people in other fields who were in official "on call" positions. On their "on call" days they were paid 4 hours whether they got called in or not. The fact that the on call drivers have to wait until noon to be released also supports my interpretation. How can they justify making you wait around for 3 or more hours before "releasing" you if you aren't being compensated? I could be wrong, and even if I am right about the intention of the language, the enforcement might not match up. I appreciate the opportunity to challenge my understanding. It helps me to be a better steward. [/QUOTE]
