Forced to help

[Dabumrush]

By the way, after I asked if I was being forced he said "NO" and I don't know what else he was trying to spell so I was confused.

Work now, grieve later is a basic thing most drivers should know. You were told to help and didn't, doesn't matter if people with less seniority weren't told first. You have to work as directed and grieve after.

I'm a 20 year driver and I'm having to help constantly and I'm sick of it.

A 20 year driver, doesn't know how to handle this situation ?


Do I have to say it out loud ?

They just pay it out. They have no concerns about 9.5 grievances. Worked over 10 hours everyday last week except Friday.

There is language in the contract that prohibits the company from doing this. As a 20 year driver you should know this. Get with your steward and BA and demand that the company make a good faith effort to reduce your paid day to 9.5 hours or under. It isn't hard man.

Sounds like a runner gunner to me pissed he’s not off at 4:30

He just missed a comma. He was telling you that he is instructing you to do something which is basically the same thing as forced. WAD and grieve the pants off him for 9.5 and harassment and he will start finding someone else.

Yeah we have a runner here who's on the 9.5 list and is NEVER over 8.5 hours. As soon as he is told to help someone he whines and complains saying he's on the 9.5 list, but that doesn't do him any good lol. He will never learn that you can't always expect to be off the clock by 17:00 every single day with this company.

Because you won't stand up and exercise your contractual rights. Make your BA do his job.

Maybe this wasn't a good place to ask for advice. Seems like some people just want to bash me.

Be careful with taking pictures of messages. If you're not on break time when you take them, they could try to get you on stealing time. You can still request a copy of all diad communications, they must provide one within 5 days.

You got all the advice you need. File for 9.5, when the company doesn't honor your 9.5s then grieve for harassment, have a meeting with your steward, BA, center manager, and labor manager. The labor manager will chew the center managers ass for intentionally violating your 9.5 and you won't be asked to help anyone anymore.

If you request them on the day they were sent they have to give them to you that day too.

We know its frustrating. Must be even more frustrating in a place that disregards 9.5 protections.

You have a right to investigate your own grievances. Why should you do it off the clock.

You also have the right to be at grievance hearings. Start attending them so you can plead your own case as well as make sure your steward and BA are doing their jobs.

I am not a detective.

Yep.


"I wish to be present, at any and all stages of the grievance procedure."

Include that on your grievance form.


If, you really want to be there....

You're a 20 year driver. If you don't know how to handle yourself by now its pretty clear to all of us here that you've been up managements collective @$$ for the last 19 years and 335 days and you're throwing a hissy fit at them because you didnt get your way.

I don't mind helping other guys out most of the time, but last Friday I was sent a message via diad to help another driver. I knew there was other drivers with less seniority almost done or already done. I replied on the diad, " say you're forcing me and if not I'm coming in the building. When I got back to the center at 5:48pm the supervisor that sent the message ask if I helped him, I replied no and went home. The supervisor called my Union Stewart and told him they would be walking me off the property Tuesday. BTW one of the less senior drivers is this supervisor nephew and he had been off since 4:45pm without a 8 hour request. Just looking for suggestions on how I should handle this.

Thanks for running! TIME TO HELP!

Seniority gives you the right to work not the right not to work.
