[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 296417, member: 12570"] We had an ice storm in 1998 that closed us down for a couple of days. When we resumed operations, they brought mgt up from Albany and Syracuse to ride with each driver. The idea was that the driver would focus on driving and the rider would alert him/her to downed trees/power lines and other hazards. The sad part was that the storm started just before start time and the state police banned all non-emergency travel yet mgt kept calling them to see when we could go on the road. I do know that if the company declares a snow emergency and notifies us prior to coming to work then they don't have to pay us but if we get to work and then cannot due to the weather they are obligated to pay us (8 hours). They normally find work within the building for those who want the 8 hours (washing vehicles, cleaning facility) but most of us would use a personal day and go home. [/QUOTE]
