Hi folks, I'm a part-time package handler. At my hub, Dallas, TX, management has come up with new rule to not let part-time employees work over 4.99 hours. I work in twi-light shift and we have two start times for twi-light. For instance, there is 4 PM early start-time and 4:30 late start time so high seniority employees used to come early and leave late after wrap up, but now they come up with new rule; they are telling us that we can't work over 5 hours any more. And even when we hit 5 hours, shift is still in progress and people are still working who come later on, but now they are trying to eliminate over-time by telling us, that there is no such thing in the contract that they have to give us over five hours if there is work there. They are saying is as long as people with less seniority don't work more than people with high seniority they are not doign anything wrong since by doing that people with high seniority still get privileged to work more. We used to work about an hour over-time every day, now they are sending people home at 4.99 clicks.
Please advise! how should I and other people deal with it? They brought a union steward and he said they are with in the contract. After five hours, should I observe if there are any supervisors working trying to steal our work?
