[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1304615, member: 28388"] You're a seniority driver. They can't send you home unless you let them. 1) Don't answer phone calls or texts before start time. 2) On days they call to offer you the day if you do mistakenly answer the phone, say no thanks and eventually they'll learn you don't take dead days and will stop offering them. 2) If you report to work and they say they don't have a route for you, respectfully tell them you can't afford to take a day off and ask where the brooms are and they'll find/make a route for you pretty quickly. If they persist and tell you they have to send you home, remind them you are not a casual and guaranteed 8 hours. 3) If they try to tell you that you are laid off for the day, your contract most likely requires a 24 hour notice for a layoff (check your contract) and let them know that it will be cheaper to pay you straight time to work rather than pay the grievance pay and not get any work out of you. You have rights and when they know you'll insist on getting your 40 hours, they'll eventually respect that. If you do it respectfully without being a dick, they'll stop trying to send you home and you won't paint a target on your back. [/QUOTE]
