[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 977021, member: 18044"] A grievance based on Article 17 could ask for one or two remedies, depending. Either you are trying to force Management to exercise its responsibility to prevent the employee from working in the future before his start time, or you are trying to force Management to pay the employee for the "off the clock" time already worked. Or both. It's the employee who started early who is entitled to be paid, not someone else. To bring the employee up on charges under the IBT and/or Local Union Membership Oath, you would file charges with the Local Union Executive Board. That would be a stretch. Anyone hurt while working "off the clock" would normally be covered by Workers Compensation, as "work-related" work. Oddly enough, UPS would probably not put up a fight since the alternative is for the injured employee to sue UPS privately, and that can run into much bigger bucks since, unlike Workers Comp, he could now ask for additional "pain and suffering" compensation.
