[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 787084, member: 12508"] The "uncontrollable" part of the business isn't my problem, and it's just too bad for FedEx that they can't plan for it 100% of the time. If they schedule me to work, I have modified my life accordingly to accomodate FedEx, and I should be paid when I show-up expecting to work. If I have been scheduled, that's also just too bad if they try and call me off at the last minute. If they want to have a recorder, they can pay me to be "on-call", but as always, it's on their terms, and structured in a manner that saves the company money at the expense of the employee. Most of the stations in my district got 50% of the Amazon volume expected. Again, too damn bad for FedEx if the engineers miscalculated. I plan my outside life around how I am scheduled at work, and we were all scheduled yesterday...off of a volunteer list. My point on Code 43 is that they'd much prefer to get you to take an early break or extended break instead of getting paid under a 43. Once more, it's not my problem that the freight is late. My time is valuable, and I expect to be paid for it, even if I am sitting on my ass in the breakroom. As they say, "Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part". Pay-up, Fred. [/QUOTE]
