Forced to work

[PT with a life]

Makes sense. But flight aware app changed the scheduled time. Which should be my base for when to arrive at work, according to my center.

If i show up at scheduled time , they dont pay me til i leave for airport! Is that ok?

Man no wonder they walk all over you

Btw, apparently my shop steward sucks, cuz i know nothing about how this all works!!

Thats all they do at my center. I recently heard we have the most grievances on the east coast. And we only have 38 ft drivers for a 3 county area!

Also heard we are still a bonus center. If that matters. But drivers dont get bonuses. So who is?

Every center says they have the most grievances. Just like everybody says each center has the most missed, late, accidents, injuries, etc

Nope.

You only need one if you regularly require access to the ramp.

Gotcha. Yeah they just escort me in.

Look, its so bad here that we have 1 air driver with a badge for airport. Thats me, and 5 set to go to school that dont even have 30 days in company. 5 people quit in the last month and full timers are dropping like flies! Some retiring, most for suspensions and pending firings, and some for medical from being overworked. Average our ft drivers have 185 plus stops a day. Most are 10 to 12 hours a day. And my center still hates tattoos, so some of us are in winter uniforms in...what was it yesterday when i was working 7 hrs on a sat as a pt air... 93 degrees! Who would sign up for that? Me, a 47 yr old that got laid off and is supporting a family that ups cares nothing about... I need my full time job, but i need the benefits the union provides my family

Man up devil dog! Quit whining. What local are you? You need to read your contract and stop relying on your shop steward to hold your hand. Where are you located?

Really cover drivers should have a card, but there is no need for the extra hassle if it isn't a normal thing.

If his building has as many grievances as he claims you'd think his Steward would be a master of the contract.

Yep. That's how you are getting away with it.

One of our drivers doesn't have a SIDA for the ramp location. He just goes there, backs up to the dock, and goes inside to the break room in the office area. Once they have him loaded, they page him overhead, he heads back to the truck, and leaves.

Shut up you glorified "Watcher".

Is that you in the red shirt "Watching" your center manager. It's obvious you're watching skills are unparalleled.

I didn't drive those 30 days to stand around and do work all day

This isnt whining this is me going elsewhere to get answers. None provided where i am. What is this so called contract that exists but i have no access to.? Asked for years, applied for years, union member for years! Still nothing in writing!

If you answer my question I'd be happy to provide you a contract. What local and area are you?
