Cover Drivers work Monday through Saturday?

[summersaltstains]

Today my center mgr. called me around 14:00 and told me he needed me tomorrow. I told him I had plans and since I am a M-friend I assumed I was off Saturday unless forced in with 24 hours notice. He made it sound like I didn't get Saturday off since I only drove 3 days while running air the other two days. This sounds like BS to me but is there any truth to what he's saying?

Also if he plans on forcing you into work call the police when he breaks into your house and drags you out of bed.

Your supervisors aren’t ever gonna call you to ask how your day is...they’re gonna call you to do more work. Get drunk ass hell tonight cause you’re not working tomorrow

Or have strawberries and champagne waiting for him....

 

[UnconTROLLed]

Think about it: why would a supervisor or manager call you ON ROUTE, when they could just send a message through the DIAD? Because they know you are weak-minded and bully/guilt/ power you into showing up more easily by speaking to you directly. Bullies.

The center manager most likely called you because you had not gotten your hours for the week. He was actually trying to do you a favor while making sure he was fully staffed for the day.

LMAO.

My center manager better watch himself. Working me 50 hrs might be viewed as favoritism.

Talk to your BA and file a grievance every time they do it! Unfortunately, if your building isn't staffed properly and you don't have enough seniority this is what they will do! But throw paper down every time they do it!

A 6th punch is considered extra work here. Must ask from the top and force from the bottom.

Hopefully this issue gets addressed this contract.

The OP does not have his/her own route-----his/her center manager was trying to help him get his/her hours----and you are telling him to put pen to paper?

The first time he does that is the last time that he will be put on road.

No, he/her said his center manager told him that he was needed tomorrow, I didn't hear anything about trying get him/her hours! I was referring to him being forced in 6 days! If he's a full-time service provider! What are you talking about "that will be the last time he will be put on the road"!

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

He ran air 2 out of the 5 days.

I am saying that if he continues to turn down “extra work” he may find himself looking for work elsewhere.

In my building, no full-time service provider is running air! So I don't get that! He has to work as instructed, if not then it becomes a fireable offense. But if his work week is M-friend and they keep working him six days a week then filing a grievance can at least bring to light staffing issues!

Nope

@summersaltstains - did they do this?

I assume so. I am very near the bottom from the seniority list. I am a part time cover driver. I have worked a few Saturdays, some forced, some volunteered. I know he has the right to force me in but my understanding was that I was owed 48 or 24 hours notice. My steward later told me it was 24.
