[QUOTE="BrownShark, post: 259246, member: 12148"] Brother Guy, Ok, let me see if I can clear this one up for you. "... NO PACKAGE CAR DRIVER WILL BE GRANTED MORE THAN TWO (2) REQUESTS PER MONTH. " Sentence structure my brother. As a former Executive Officer, Business Agent and shop steward for over 15 years now, and with the added advantage of sitting at the 92,97 & 2002 table, I think I know a little something about sentence structure. To begin with, lets take the sentence apart and find out what it means. "....[COLOR=red]NO PACKAGE DRIVER - [/COLOR]this clearly defines the "WHO" in the sentence. ".....[COLOR=red]WILL BE GRANTED - [/COLOR]this defines what the "ACTION" will be "...[COLOR=red]MORE THAN TWO (2) -[/COLOR]this describes the "NUMERICAL" limitations of the sentence "...[COLOR=red]REQUESTS -[/COLOR][COLOR=black] this defines the "WHAT" in the sentence[/COLOR] "....[COLOR=red]PER MONTH.- [/COLOR][COLOR=black]this describes the "PERIOD OF TIME" in the sentence.[/COLOR] These ingredients formulate a sentence. From this formulation you can establish what are the limitations of the actions. 2 REQUESTS per month is clearly written. Not UNLIMITED REQUESTS. Requests, not 8.0 hours. Once you have placed your TWO requests for the month, granted or denied, you are DONE. This sentence was in part a compromise in 2002 with the company. You think the company wants everyone making 20 requests a month each? In a 95 man center that would be 1900 requests a month. Out of that 1900, they would have to approve 190 days at 8.0 hours. This is why it does not say that. Think about it. In a 95 man center, the most requests that could be made is 190. Once again, dont over think the sentence. Peace. [/QUOTE]
