Saturday Ground

[BigBrownboxx]

We have between 20 and 40 drivers laid off on Monday’s. Bad deal for the younger drivers. They will not see M-friend for a long time.

this is not grievable?

 

[Mst3k]

They did that in my center for a short time. It did not last since we have language guaranteeing a five day work week. NorCal

 

[Brownslave688]

I believe it's top 90% are guaranteed in central region

Think that’s superseded by the 40 hour RPCD guarantee isn’t? I mean RPCD over 22.4

Remember the "if work is available" line? Also 22.4s don't work Monday. If they are then absolutely RPCDs should all be working.

But we all know the company is doing the buddy** of pulling Monday's work back to Saturday.
And that's a big pile of crap

Yes but they can bump 22.4 for their hours right? So can work Saturday. And those 22.4 have a 40 guarantee.

I know it’s not how everyone wants to do it but it can be done.

Honestly man I'm ignorant when it comes to how it will work in the central region. I agree that you should be able to move into Saturday to get your hours but I'm not sure if that's how it will work.

My area we have had a 40 hour guarantee for a long time and the schedule comes out Thursday the week before. If you're on it you're guaranteed your 8 no matter what. You're also guaranteed 5 conservative days so they can't leave you off the schedule Monday either.

 

[nWo]

In reality they will probably work you Monday thru Friday then say you are being forced in Saturdays due to staffing issues.

 

[Whither]

so , if we are not in the top 90% we aren’t not guaranteed 40 hours?

That's what the Central language says (Article 12 Section 1). If you're worried re: Monday layoffs talk with your BA to see if you can bump onto Saturdays. I'm not sure how that works because my building's been short-handed since I started 2 years ago. The issue here is forced 6 punches.

 

[tourists24]

In the Atlantic Supplement area, they are required to give you one day's notice of layoff if less than 14 days. So unless they tell you that you're laid off on a Monday, they should be telling you by at latest Sunday. If not, you show up to work on Monday ready to work. They tell us "on call", but contractually they can't do that.

But they can have you work preload and reload at part time wage, not driver pay

Explain. Because if you're saying what I think you are then I would say you're wrong.

In our building drivers with no routes have to work mornings or nights to get their 40. They get paid their building wage not drivers wage.

You're in the central? This seems wrong to me. What has your BA said? They are full-time RPCDs. Depending on your layoff language they should be paid their RPCD rate in my opinion.

They did get paid their drivers wage until our last contract.

Where is this ?

 

[TearsInRain]

It’s so dumb.
I understand the “need to have Saturday’s,” they just don’t have the consistent volume to do it competently.

1. Shippers demand it
2. It is preparation for a 7-day transportation network
3. Our competition does it and that makes us look bad if we don't

They tell us "on call", but contractually they can't do that.

All they mean is they may call you and ask you to work, it doesn't mean you're obligated to

I just never answered me phone on days off

 

[TheBrownNote]

yes sir! then laying off over 15 RPCD on monday so we will only
work 4 days a week! BS!!

Ask for your guaranted 8. Have a witness. If your denied, grieve it. Then file for unemployement (if denied 8hr pay) for the day. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show
(I recognize that this is horrible advice)
