this is what says in my local supplement:
SECTION 3-combination jobs
Employees may be required to work in more than one (1) classification during their working hours of any day, but in such event shall be paid for the entire day at the hourly rate of the highest job classification worked, except for utility drivers.
If the combo job is inside/outside then should the driver be paid at the highest rate all day according to the passage above? I don't see how they can put unload/ driving in the same classification. I know the two rate thing in the nation masters, but the local supplement should be effect in this case. My buddy's being paid the two rate since he took the 22 job 2 years ago, i'm just wondering if he should get paid one rate according to above.
MR_Vengeance,
You don't say what Supplement you are quoting, or what Article, but my New England Supplement has similar language. If you work in a higher pay category for part of the day, you get the higher rate all day.
Unfortunately, this language does not apply to split-rate Article 22.3 jobs or to any jobs that involve Air Driving under Article 40. The Article 22.3 jobs and the entire Article 40 Air Operation are concessions the Union made to the Company. They contain substandard language and superseed the better (and older) language in our Supplements.
Even though the Contract specifically says the better language, be it in the Master or the Supplement, shall prevail, nevertheless, the inferior language prevails in jobs involving Articles 22.3 and 40. Sounds crazy, doesn't it?
Why people vote "Yes" for these concessions and contradictions in Contract after Contract is a mystery to me.
