[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 2388174, member: 14176"] After finally resolving my first nine 9.5 grievances to the tune of $1,300, my start time was promptly pushed back at least 30 minutes later than every other driver in my center and I received a 3 day OJS ride. In response, I promptly filed a harassment grievance, claiming retaliation, and continued to show up at the usual time about 20 minutes prior to my old start time of 8:50. When the supes tried to speak to me, not only did I not answer them, I pretended that they were invisible until my new start time, unless I saw them doing bargaining unit work. I got a clip board and began documenting these observations, as you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a supervisor working during the preload in my building. Without exception, I promptly grieved every supervisor working scenario that I witnessed, which encompassed every minute of the 30 minute delay, plus some most days. After about a week and a half of this, the Company "said uncle" and my start time was returned to it's original time and the grievances were paid at double time. In addition, if some of your air stops are being dispatched to an air driver, I would grieve that also. Art 40 gives the Company the right to use air drivers "when the regular driver cannot make service due to time commitments". Any good BA could make the case that these stops could be, and had been delivered in the past by you, if the company hadn't engaged in this pattern of retaliation and harassment for you having opted in on the 9.5 list. Good luck and remember, as long as your willing to accept that this is not a "9 to 5 job", and your game is tight, you can always have the last word with the Company. [/QUOTE]
