[QUOTE="GuyinBrown, post: 259512, member: 9444"] Clearly we will continue to disagree on the "what" portion. I ( and everyone I know, including management ) define the "request" as the 8 hour day we desire and not the action of asking for it. Thus, my ( our ) interpretation would be that you are not limited to two attempts to obtain your reduced workload, but the company is under no obligation to provide you with more than two of those 8 hour days per month. We can continue to argue back and forth if you wish, but you're not going to change my mind any more than I'm going to change yours. It's a difference of opinion over the interpretation of a word. I will concede that it could have been written more clearly, but if it ever went as far as arbitration it is clear that the intent of the language is to allow the driver two 8 hour days per month. You, of course, will disagree with that, but as I said neither of us are going to change the other's mind. [/QUOTE]
