Tues-Sat, working Monday question

[Santashelper1]

Was told to call in on a monday due to not having enough workers. I was switched to Tuesday-Saturday a few months ago. Is this allowed? I'm not suppose to call in on my day off, right? They have to call me if forced from lower seniority on up?

Don't call them on your day off. Don't answer their calls on your day off. They'll get the message eventually.

 

[HEFFERNAN]

You can't be on call.
If they told you you're forced in on Monday, then you are working.
That'd be like a M-friend driver being told to call in on Saturday. You're either forced in or off.
Nip that in the bud.

 

[Santashelper1]

Ok. Thanks

This Tuesday-Saturday thing is starting to become a real pain in the ass.

They may claim you "volunteered" and weren't "forced" in to avoid paying you time and a half or double time OR;

they may lay you off one of your remaining 5 days so you don't get 6 days total.

Honesty and integrity.

This is exactly the kind of thing I was afraid this Saturday ground would bring about.

they may lay you off one of your remaining 5 days so you don't get 6 days total.

Then they'd have to lay everyone lower than you off, too, or pay a grievance.

In my local they can't force you to work a 6th day. It's optional, so friend them.

They failed 2 tell a few younger drivers that ....them not knowing just worked

 

[Mst3k]

Optional or not, Seems to me that they would owe you 7th day Pay, which is double here.

7th?

Tuesday to Saturday leaves Monday wide open. We don't have enough people as it is now. If everyone Tuesday to Saturday guy refused to work Monday they will be forced to hire more drivers. Then the current Tuesday to Saturday guys will move up in seniority when the new guys come aboard and they can go back to Monday-friday. But who thinks that far ahead *shrug

Seriously with your lifestyle i would work 6 days. Save half of my income and retire at 40

Meh. You could look at it one of two ways, that way, or that I could work the absolute bare minimum and still live nicer than most people and have plenty of free time to enjoy

A awesome one.

Free time while having a job is different than retirement.


Just like an option day is different than getting offered a random day off.
