Did you sign a contract? If so, you get 8 hours a day, no questions. If they wanna claim they dont need you, then claim your given right to work. You need hours, get hours, whatever it maybe. Cleaning bathrooms, charging or washing cars. It doesnt matter, no job is too gross or bad. Hours are hours, go get them. They want send you home, then bump someone.

If there is enough work at your center they can't send you home. If you are not laid off you are gauranteed 8 hrs a day and if there are people with less seniority or part timers working more than you, you can file on it.
You can tell them you are going to file for unemployment too.

My advice to you is become active in your local union. Stay informed and become passionate about your rights as an employee!
You are allowing them to short you whats yours. Talk to your shop steward or BA and tell them what you told us. They should actively fight this

YOU BEST EXPLAIN WHAT (b a ) STANDS FOR I DOUBT HE KNOWS AND LOCAL IM SURE HE WILL NEED TO NO THAT TO
Unbelievable 12 year at UPS and you still have no clue..... You lost your contract because you never read it otherwise you would have put in a safe place so you have it to reference.
You must be the lowest person on your FT seniority list if they are sending you home.... If not demand your 8 hours and file a grievance..............
Look at the bulletin board at work with union stuff posted on it you should be able to find the Name of your BA ( Business Agent ) and there phone number. If not ask one of your brothers or sisters.

If you're fulltime, when you show up for work you are guaranteed 8 hrs. Check the manning, if their is a lower senority driver working than you can bump him/her. If not, you should be given the option to bump part-timers to obtain your 8 hours.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
This sounds like a buddy of mine. He has at least 10 drivers below him but only works 2-3 days a week on average. They call and say we don't need u today he says ok. Then complains about having no money and his house has been on the edge of foreclosure three times in 2 years. I'm all for a day off but when bills are overdue show up and demand your 8 Also shame on you for not knowing the contract better after 12 years although your not alone I know many senior drivers that have no clue what's in our contract.

There are many people throughout this country that dont know or care whats in the contract. Many people I know in my center, those who are paying dues, have little knowledge of whats in the contract. Those with senority as well. I mention such things like article 36, and they have no clue what I'm talking about.
I, myself, need to read it. I only know some the essentials. Can I ask a shop steward for a copy? I would love to memorize it. The old one and new one, if I could.
Thanks , Thekid.

As a part-timer, I did that and kept it in the front pocket of my cooler. Then they told me I could no longer bring in my cooler.I carry a copy of the contract in one of the outside pockets of my backpack for all to see. Let them know you are prepared
