Forced to work Saturday Xmas eve?

[barnyard]

Were only doing air supposedly

We'll do air and send agains. I worked a Saturday Christmas Eve a couple of years ago. It was not a bad gig.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Sign up sheet was posted today for Christmas Eve. They want 25 and will force from the bottom.

They are still contending that it will be an air only day. I have expressed my interest in working that day as I think we will be busier than originally thought.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Actually @Brownslave688 is right. It does help.

I've never had an argument with my wife over money. Ever.


But then again it helps to have a strong marriage as well.

That might not be your area of expertise Dave.

I disagree.

During the latter years of our marriage we were grossing nearly $150K combined.

We still argued over money, although that may have been the result of other issues.

She said I was difficult to live with it. Can you believe that?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

If I have the hours, I'll sign it. Neither of our daughters will be home and I can hang out with the wife on every other day off.

My son will be staying in Iowa and my daughter will be with her family so I may as well work.

I will be heading down to spend time with them on either the 25th or 26th.

Just had management announce mandatory Saturday 6 punch for Xmas eve. In years past it was on a voluntary basis...... shop steward said just work..... I'm asking if they can really force a 6 punch for a holiday..... thx

That's fine they can force you, I'm trying to find in the contact where they can force a full time driver to work, and then not pay him for 8 hours Quite the contrary, it's says somethings to the affect that if you're full time and get called to work you get paid for 8, no matter what day it is.

Read a bit closer and you will find it is only a 4 hour guarantee.

We have a ton of grievances filed over this Saturday B S. I can't wait to see what trick they will pull Christmas Eve

I'm not saying 150k isn't a good living but it's not exactly don't have to worry about money figures.

 

[dookie stain]

I will be drinking lots of bourbon the next two Saturday's....

"But but but were gonna fall behind!!!"

Well do you think I care??

This is the clause that UPS says they can force employees to work Saturday.

Central Region Supplement

Article 12 Section 9

If an employee is required to work a sixth (6th) and seventh (7th)
consecutive day at the Employer’s request, they shall be paid the
appropriate premium regardless of the established work week.

If so, the following is the section that says you have the right to request 8 hours.

Central Region Supplement

Article 12 Section 7

Each full-time employee put to work shall have a daily guarantee of
eight (8) hours of work. Any full-time employee reporting to work
and not put to work shall receive six (6) hours’ guarantee. The guarantee
may be broken by request of the employee using the appropriate
company code.

Read a bit closer and you will find it is only a 4 hour guarantee.

And where would this be?

You really should just stop commenting on anything related to the contract. It's pretty obvious you've never made it past the cover.

I believe 4 hour guarantee is for P/T, and 8 for full time. (your supplement may vary)

Dave makes up his own contract interpretation

More like repeats what his center manager told him

She obviously has mental issues!

 

[Babagounj]

I don't know why everyone is upset about being forced to work Christmas Eve , you should pity those that will be forced to work Christmas Day .

How come we can't divorce you?

Its a shame I won't be feeling well enough to drive that day.... vertigo again.

Careful, from what I hear on this site. You'll get you butt kicked in the parking lot if you call out.

I lost my DOT Card for that .
Still have Positional Vertigo .
Makes doing any type of work very interesting , worst day yet was hauling lobster traps by hand on the hottest day of the year ( 90+ ) and almost passing out each time I raised my head . While still trying to operate the boat .
