[QUOTE="Satuirus2000, post: 1228710, member: 48065"] I'm from Local 89 and I don't think this would work. THere's too much potential for abuse wit hhat method. In any case, each shuttle stop does not have a scanner with which you scan your ID. You're dropped off at one of 6 stops in a general area and you have to walk to whatever building you work in and clock in on your posi's time clock. There is only a scanner when you first go to security to enter Worldport. The simplest method is to just add 40 minutes on each workers time each day. Worldport says that it should not take more than 20 minutes each way to get from the security checkpoint to an individuals work area. They say it takes 20 minutes, but it often can take much, much longer. Just waiting for the bus itself can take 10 minutes. In any case, it'd be easier to just add around 2 or so hours to each person's check each week. That's going along with their estimated time numbers too. But like was mentioned, that shuttle incentive was basically just buying votes and also to quiet the workers about what Worldport is planning to do. Worldport in the near future is planning on closing our existing parking lot so they can extend their runways. This means we are going to have to park even FARTHER away at a different lot, which is going to be adding even more time to get to work. That's why I think they offered that lowball shuttle incentive because people have been asking for compensation on that for YEARS, but only now did they offer it. The timing was suspicious and that's why I think they did it. To shut us up when they really screwed us over. I don't think some of you realize how horrible the shuttle is. I live only 10 minutes away from Worldport, but I HAVE to leave an hour before work to even have a chance at making it on time. It's even worse if you work at night. Plus these buses have no heat or air, which is a big deal when you're stuck on it for 15-20 minutes. [/QUOTE]
