[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5356198, member: 76643"] I have always pointed out to members: even contract language that puts the screws to us, e.g., (allowing forced 6 punches) doesn't exist in a vacuum. The company resorts to forcing because they are in a position of weakness. They need us to put a bandage on their staffing problem. If the company began firing otherwise reliable employees for not working 6 punches, that would only aggravate their staffing problem. Additionally, if the company played hardball with a reliable employee and pressed a termination based solely on 6 punch attendance, then they would also have to risk losing at a higher level of the grievance procedure. The supplements I've read do not address whether or not allowing forced 6 punches also means [B]allowing them to the point of effectively turning the job into a 6 day a week job.[/B] The glaring details of the company's habitual staffing problem would come out. I could be wrong, but I think the company would have a hard time winning such a case ... and I think they know it. [/QUOTE]
