[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3601873, member: 14176"] They are grievances, filed in bulk over the last 12 years or more, hundreds of them. Stack them up in a neat pile and they look like the Yellow Pages telephone book for a major metropolitan area. Until now, all "settled" to one degree or another, for dimes on the dollar. Some by the Panel, "no precedent set" (of course), setting the standard for many local level settlements. Every few years the Company Labor Manager tries to conjure up a new abstract defense, always coming up short, due to the absolute preponderance of evidence. Ultimately, I have cashed grievance check totaling tens of thousands of dollars. The latest stack to be heard and deadlocked here locally was in June of 2017, seventeen weeks worth to the tune of thousands of hours of violations and over $100,000 wages lost by full time employees. They have been to the Panel 3 times and "referred back to parties for possible settlement". Last time being in March of 2018, with "instructions from the panel" (which conveniently do not appear in the decisions released from that panel). The latest maneuver by the Labor Manager is to claim that I'm not entitled to collect the penalty pay for the violations because I am on the 9.5 Opt-in List, even though I have collected in the past while on the list, as well as received a grievance settlement check for supervisors working, that grievance heard the same day as the air driver grievances were deadlocked. Seems the Panel feels that instead of paying me, the drivers who decided to take a dive on these days should get paid (straight time up to 8 hours) instead of me or those who worked and had available hours ( at time and a half)? No wonder that Panel neglected to put their instructions in the decision. Sometime fact is stranger that fiction. ~Bbbl~™ [/QUOTE]
