[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 385242, member: 14176"] First off they are not adjusting your time card. You start getting paid at your scheduled start time. Secondly I see no grievance for the past with one exception. You could file for the company to not allow your coworkers to work ahead of their start time. The contract clearly states that management will not allow employees to work ahead of their scheduled start time without appropriate compensation. This puts the onus on the company to police this issue. Problem there being that there will be no monetary penalty. We all know that if it doesn't cost then they don't care. With the latter in mind here is how you attack the problem. When you see a junior employee working ahead of their start time, ask to be put to work. When they say no file a grievance under the extra work provisions at time and a half. It's art. 3 sec 16 in my supplement. This puts the company in a trick bag. Obviously they can't say they didn't know he was up on the belt working because you pointed it out when you asked to be put to work. If they say he wasn't on the clock they are in violation of the fore mentioned language. Might seem trivial but as you already eluded a half an hour a week times 52 weeks is 25 hours at time and a half would equate to 37 1/2 hours of straight time pay.
