[QUOTE="Big Babooba, post: 322924, member: 5402"] I don't know if this will help you. It happened almost 30 years ago, but is similar to your situation. UPS lost this grievance. UPS part timers at one time were guaranteed 4 hours a day. If they worked over 4 hours, then they were guaranteed 8 hours pay (4/8er). Around 1976 a new contract changed the part time guarantee. New part time employees were guaranteed 3 hours pay. If that person went over 5 hours, then they were guaranteed 8 hours pay (3/5/8er). This gave UPS greater flexability in their operation. All 4/8ers were red circled. We had a Local Sort that started at 5:00 and a car wash shift that started at 6:30. The Local sort had both 4/8ers and 3/5/8ers. the car wash was strictly 4/8ers. One night the car wash worked the local sort when they reported. They worked until 7:30 and went back to the car wash. At 8:45 management had lower seniority 3-5/8ers help out the car washers. The 4/8ers were made to go home when their 4 hours were up and the 3/5/8ers were worked 5 hours. A grievance was filed by a carwasher and was won. The ruling was that UPS had to offer 8 hours to a 4/8er before they could work a 3/5/8er over 4 hours. If all 4/8ers turned down the 8 hours, then UPS could work the 3/5/8er for 5 hours. [/QUOTE]
