Yeah! It works, again!!

I was always the one guilty of working 54 or more weeks a year, Labor and finance would get so irritated. Labor pulled me into the office over it. I told them I was working as directed. Sometimes, I love that phrase.

I don't have a problem with FTers going home as it lets the casuals work. What I do have a problem with is mgt allowing them to take "dead days" when they still have days on the books. I think we should have to use all of our personal and sick days before we are allowed to take "dead days". This was an issue this past Friday when one of our drivers, who only works 3-4 days per week, was upset because she was forced to work when the driver who was supposed to cover her area called in sick to take his daughter to the doctor's office. She wanted the day off to run some errands before heading to Florida for a week. This wouldn't have been an issue if she had been forced to take all of her personal and sick days before being allowed to take "dead days".

I had 2079 hours in 2010. If they do increase the hours to 2000 I may have to work a little more OT to make sure I get my hours. I certainly won't be taking any "dead days".

Mgmnt wouldnt or would not like todo this. A driver who is married to an oncar in a neighboring center gets all the 8hour days 3days off per week that they want. Yeah works thru lunch and runs all day long. We;re not on telematics yet.

This is one of the things that irritates me about mgt giving these days. It's ALWAYS the same guys that get the days off. It rarely ever gets down to me and then when I need a day I have to call in sick. (Not always the case but the majority of the time it is.)

Sign up days are by ft seniority in 3/ 8 hour groups around the clock. Optional (paid) days are by FT seniority up to 7 off per day. If you have a pressing need than you can always go ask for a scheduled off.

Ya, I know and that's what I do but I have to listen to, "I will do what I can to get you the day off but I don't know............."

Most of these people don't even realize there is an hour requirement for pension credit. They are clueless to the contract and union matters, usually management suck ups and bonus babies that pull this charade. We have a collection of people who go home multiple times a week without pay. About 8-10 people out of a center of 75. They use their sick and personal days within the first month they reroll. Most of them use their kids and family as an excuse, heard all the crap stories over the years.

"Man, I do it for my kids...I gotta get home."
"I run around all day like a wide receiver with a box so I can get home, only the kids suffer if I stay out all night."

Same old song from the bonus babies. Simple answer is we have a bunch of drivers who do NOT want to work and can't do the job the proper way.

Griff, it's nice to see you are back!

I have a problem with full timers going home all the time...if you want to work part time then go get a part time job. I'm sure there are part timers in our company who would LOVE to work full time! And I'm sure all of the casuals would love to take your place to work at a full time status.

I do not know.
Pension credits are a matter of contract.
Next contract is in 2013.
I already have 2,000 hrs and it is only the 1st week of Nov.
Hell, I can't beg off a day.
A full time driver going home 3-4 days a week?
I could only wish.

I did hear they want to increase hours to 2,000. From what I understand it's not a contract thing. it's a pension thing. One of the reasons is to keep drivers from going home and increase money to the pension fund. When drivers go home pension fund get weak. not being funded. We will never get a increase in the pension fund.

You are right. Some make their own beds. Where is this at specifically YKWI?

This is in local 177....

Exactly right. My issue is that for almost a year the seniority drivers in our center have been trying to get this across to the rest,to no avail.

Another thing to keep in mind...your OT hours only count if you haven't reached your full 40 hours for the week. And trust me,the same ones who go home all the time are the same ones done at 4:30 every day.

 

[brownmonster]

The way I understand it the company pays weekly into the pension fund. If I punch the clock for one minute I'm paid for the week. Might have to have a minimum of hours to to be considered a full year for collection purposes down the road.

Hey? Anyone know why they can't use OT hours towards pension? Can that be changed? MY GOD IS THERE HOPE!!!!!!

 

[YouKnowWhoIam]

I take days off all the time. As of my last paycheck I am over 1800 hours and we still have 7 weeks to go until the end of the year.

You have to take all kinds of time off to have this affect you.

Your OT hours do not count,so don't get too comfy

Under the Western Conference, hourly pension contributions are made up to a maximum of 2080 hours. That's 52 (40) hour weeks.
I'm on vacation during November.

I ended October with 2589 hours... I wish I could get more time off.
