[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5459873, member: 76643"] We have not been filing for penalty pay but now rereading Article 17 I see that it does provide for penalty pay even in the case of small (less than $50 for FT) shortages. Generally the shortages are small. I got paid $5 and change on my last grievance check. However the language is slippery, "The Union and the Employer shall have the authority at any level of the grievance procedure to award a penalty up to the amount specified in the prior paragraph [my note: 1/2 of the daily guarantee] for any violation of the provision." I will go about doing that; thanks for the suggestion. I am confident I will have to hound my officers at every step of the way to get such grieves heard and paid out, and I will certainly have to be present at the hearings. Yes, I have spoken with my BA about filing such an ET AL grievance, and today a group of us followed up with him and he shot it down in front of 8 drivers, while repeating the company's argument for the umpteenth time, "The contract does not specify what pay code the company has to use." I need to find a tutorial on how to most-effectively file labor charges; I've reached that point with this feckless leadership group, and I will be looking to vote them out at the next election. On a group phone call several of us agreed to work on and file a group grievance to at least get our timecards restored to code 06 as the default. [/QUOTE]
