[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3868513, member: 14176"] My reply was somewhat belated, but you have been noticeably absent as well??? How do you quantify (or qualify) the term "exhausting [I][U][B]all[/B][/U][/I] means"??? While the contract provides for minimums in regards to compensation, when they do nothing or little to "sweeten the pot" to make the job competitive with other local employers, can it be said that they "exhausted all means"? As far as how to make the argument to charge these part time supervisors to pay dues, I believe the legal term is "preponderance of evidence"??? Show that the Supe working isn't an anomaly, rather a daily occurrence....and make the argument that they were a "seasonal worker" supervising nobody, much as they do when they have fledgling supervisor candidates drive during Peak. Show me a Center Manager who doesn't claim that they were once a "package car driver"??? This argument has even more traction in the Central Region during the "vacation replacement" period, where every day counts towards seniority, and many supervisors have used that provision to cross over to the Union side of the fence. ....or wait for it, write it into the contract??? By definition of the term "part time" vs "full time"??? Full time implies a "career", while part time asserts a "partial commitment". Overtime language provides for a pay scale, not employee obligation. I would love to argue this notion in front of an unbiased arbitrator. No drama here at all...??? Not sure of what your frame of reference is, but the packages we process only seem to get bigger, while the "smalls" go to the Post Office (in bags of 50's or more). When I refused to go home "hours only" a few Saturday's ago, they stuck me in the metro unload for my last two hours....can't imagine doing that, or anything similar, for 8+ hours. I have to believe if you were to experience this first hand, you would need your "bruised thumbs and forefingers" to dial 911. [/QUOTE]
