Are you saying that when you get hurt and they put you on TAW you don't get your 8 hours?
Is that something in your supplement?

i've seen it generally hover around 3-4% of total staffing
wouldn't you know it, most of them were safety committee people....

Sisyphus had it easy.
When I was on TAW, my supervisors said my start time was 30 minutes after the drivers left. I came in an hour before the preload was done to watch and file on supervisors working. They changed my start time to 1 1/2 hours after the drivers left. I still came in early to watch and file. When they tried to tell I could not report early I told them there was nothing in the contract that says when you can report for work.

I report everything even when I know I will be at work the next day. I have seen too many drivers get denied of waiting too long and have to lawyer up to receive WC.

The night I hurt my shoulder, I still had about 3 hours till FW. It bothered me a bit, but at my age, it isn't unusual to have little aches and pains from time to time. I didn't even report it when I punched out. The next morning, I couldn't lift my arm. Went to the dr, and had an MRI. Completely torn rotator cuff, and muscle from bone. I called in and was asked why I didn't report it at the time. I told them it didn't bother me at the time. I usually reported stuff, even though it's minor. Sometimes fill out a precautionary, or at the very least, mention it to management in front of an hourly witness.

They can get you for loitering.
"providing the work is available"
"management maintains the right to determine the availability and designation of all TAW assignments"

The contract only says to leave the property after punching out not how early you can report for work.

Wow that would never fly here. Do you have a weak BA? In my building they wish they didn't have to give us our 8. Hell we have guys that have just walked laps around the building all day.
that's from the book...

TAW in my local is your previous 52 week average. Last time I was on TAW I would sit in the DIAD room for 10 hours some days.
