[QUOTE="Thebrownblob, post: 5253240, member: 60485"] If you’ve ever been a business agent, or Steward and given someone advice or your interpretation of some contractual language, and then had them come back and say “but my business agent on my Steward told me…..” The forced Saturday is more complicated than just telling someone you absolutely don’t have to come in. The contract says your standard work week is five days. That’s it we’re done right? Well not really because after that it says if you’re “required” to work a sixth day… wait a minute how can I have a five day work week and be required? I’ve been telling people the last few years come to work Monday through Friday. Follow the attendance policy. If you’re forced Saturday and don’t want to work let them know. It’s worked so far because the company does not want to fire people for Saturday only. The question is can they? Nobody knows because it hasn’t happened as far as I know. I don’t want anyone I’ve given advice to to be the first to find out. The contract language is poorly written and the 22.4 made it worse. Hopefully the new leader ship will fix the ambiguous language regarding being forced. I don’t personally trust a panel decision if it ever gets that far especially for a very low seniority person who just tells the company I’m never coming in, and may also have an attendance problem Monday through Friday.
