[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 309626, member: 12570"] I assume from your post that you are a cover driver. I think the answer to your question is within your post. You said that they called you at home on one Monday and told you that they were all set but the remaining layoff days you came in and then were sent home. I am a little surprised that they don't have you calling in every day rather than them calling you but that is beside the point. Based upon what you have presented, I would have to agree that you should be entitled to 8 hours pay for each day that you came in to work and then were sent home. Just curious, how many routes do you know? The reason I am asking is that when I was a cover driver I made sure to learn the routes of the older drivers as I knew that they were more likely to be looking for a day off, especially this time of year, so I would go in and ask them if they wanted to go home. More often than not they would say yes and I would work. The sups didn't really care as long as they had coverage with knowledge on the area. I have 2 cover drivers who know my area and I always check with them to see if they are scheduled and, if not, I try to help them out by taking a day here or there (4 so far this year--it's been a tough winter). As I said, as long as there is coverage with knowledge on the area, the sups don't really care. May I suggest that, prior to filing the grievances, that you sit down with your on-car or center manager, discuss your concerns, and find out where they are coming from. They may have simply overlooked it--doubtful, but possible. If their answers aren't satisfactory to you then by all means file the grievances and keep us updated. [/QUOTE]
