[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1239111, member: 43436"] The OP likely works in Louisville, where double-shifting is an everyday thing and thus special procedures have been added to assist/automate planning. It appears Louisville employees may select specific shifts which are in need of additional labor, and receive confirmation if they're needed. I'm guessing that the OP has the option of removing his/her name at anytime up until the start of the sort, but he didn't, thus the warning letter. I believe the warning letter is justified, although if the contact information isn't readily available, the OP should grieve it. My facility has a central switchboard but it often goes unmanned, thus making it difficult to call in/late, so I understand that frustration. Locals set the procedure for extra work. Within mine, each building is to maintain a list of employees (updated monthly) interested in extra work; if you're driver-qualified, you indicate so. It's a blanket list covering any and all extra work. However... management rarely updates the list -- the current one posted is from several months ago -- and usually calls in whoever it desires, insisting they know that person's trained to do the work (even though they don't know if others are). I've grieved this several times, since it costs me $$$$$$$$$, but all it does is pee off management and other houries. We have one PTer (management favorite) with just 3 years seniority pulling the same ground split EVERY DAY at the top ground wage for about 7-8 months per year. I've grieved it twice, get a ton of ship from management, and listen to my BA tell me "past precident." I'm actually considering withdrawing from the union over this. [/QUOTE]
