[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1541142, member: 14668"] Article 29, Section 1, Paragraph 2 of the National Master Agreement: [I]Employees who are scheduled to work a day shift shall not be required to report for work on any day he/she is required to report for jury duty [B][U]unless released from jury duty not less than six (6) hours prior to the end of his/her regularly scheduled shift[/U][/B], in which event he/she will be allowed two (2) hours from the time he/she is released from jury duty to report and work the remainder of his/her regularly scheduled shift.[/I] In my county, you get a slip from the jury coordinator that shows what time you were released from jury duty that day, and you are required to remit this slip to UPS in order to get paid for jury duty. Failure to call in and be willing to report for work when you are released early could be construed as dishonesty. I'm not going to take that chance, especially when there is no reason to. Every time I have ever called in, I am told "we don't need your help, see you tomorrow." Making me come in would screw up their Stops Per Car metric and cause them to look bad on a report and the only way they would be willing to do that is during peak season or some sort of staffing emergency. In that case...since they are paying me they have a right to expect me to work. [/QUOTE]
