[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4340618, member: 63706"] "On call" is different than "call in", and it still has to be scheduled as an on call day, and it would have to be a regular work day. If It's anything like the language in my rider they can only schedule the two lowest drivers on the dispatch as "on call". They abuse the hell out of that language, and no one has challenged them on it. They avoid paying the 4 hrs for "on call" time by not disciplining people for not calling in. That's not in the contract, it was a decision reached at a panel. How would the average person know that's how it works? Anyway, if they want to put him on the schedule for Monday as an "on call" (which I don't think they can, either scheduled to work or not, following seniority rules) driver, they have to do it on Friday. And [I]they[/I] need to call [I]him[/I] if they need him, or he can call in at noon to make sure they don't need him. This is the first major issue I plan on tackling in my local. They expect to have an "on call" work force available at their beck and call, but don't want to pay anything for having people sit around and wait on them. That's not how it works. Everyone needs to be scheduled by the Friday before as "working", "laid off", or "on call" if they do it properly. They can tell you the day before that they don't need you if they have you on the schedule as working. If they have you as laid off they can call and ask if you want to work, but can't discipline you for not answering or not agreeing to work. That's my local, anyway, and I think our "on call" language is the same as theirs. [/QUOTE]
