[QUOTE="Superteeth2478, post: 5144494, member: 73024"] I had much the same backlash from RPCDs getting angry that I was filing when they worked off the clock. They didn't seem to realize that the issue was that as a result of them working off the clock they were, first off, taking away work from part-timers that actually wanted to work but instead were sent home while drivers working for free did their work. It's just as bad as a supervisor working, because the end result is the same. On top of that the bigger problem it created is that the company didn't need to create as many driving positions as they would otherwise, hence preventing advancement for many part-time employees who were looking to go full-time. It's amazing that drivers working off the clock often don't seem to realize the simple argument that if 8 of them work through their lunch off the clock, that's quite literally destroying one full-time job opportunity. It's not about having a "little gang to back you up", it's about the contract language and the reasons the language exists in the first place. It's not as simple as "the language is just there". There's a reason the union negotiates certain language into the contract. Overall when the contract is not adhered to it hurts all union members, period. [/QUOTE]
