[QUOTE="HyperBrn, post: 5509530, member: 102381"] The only times my start time was different than the primary center was for two weeks when I was "forced" to cover a vacation at the satellite center. Those were the only times my start times were at the satellite center's time. And they were the only times I was allowed to claim mileage. And again, I was not paid for my travel back and forth to the satellite center, as I was only allowed to be on the clock from when i arrived at the satellite center (traveled direct from my house) til I ended my working day at the satellite center. Whenever I just covered a "random" route (because either it was a cut route, a vacation week that no one bid to cover, or a bid route that had no bid driver (most common scenario)) I was scheduled at the primary center's start times and was paid hourly (no mileage) to travel to the satellite center. I've had a driver suggest I refuse to drive my POV out to the satellite center. But I have not consulted with a steward (or my BA) on whether I am justified to do this. I did a quick search of the national master and the only parts of the contract that are remotely applicable are: Article 40, Section 1, Subsection i, Which doesn't seem to apply to me. and Article 26, Section 1, Which does not apply to me, because I'm just conveying from center to sub-center. And the Central Supplement has nothing on the topic. So I don't know what grounds I can use to "fight" management if they say "too bad, so sad. suck it up kid" if they don't have or refuse to provide a vehicle, or compensate me for both time paid and mileage. I will broach the subject with my BA I suppose. Every time I bring it up with a shop steward, they give me answers that give me the sense that I'm going to have to grin and bear it. [/QUOTE]
