Last minute schedule changes

[SmithBarney]

...Unless they tell you before you leave work on Monday, assume no changes for Tuesday, etc...

Except even this doesn't follow policy, 24hrs means they have to tell you during start time on Monday(if changes are happening Tuesday)

That's true but it's not worth arguing in my opinion if they tell you during the workday. Unless it's something crazy like working an entirely different shift it's not like you would have been substantially better off by knowing before the sort.

I figure if I walk in and the time clock has a paper on it saying start 30minutes later, I can either punch in at my regular time, or just work 30 minutes slower Hey folks don't sweat the small stuff, just like the folks who "have to" get that extra 5min in the morning...you could just as easily get it at the end of the day...

Why won't all of us just unionize? We could easily do it via a forum just like this. I'm not a huge fan of public unions, but it seems to me that private unions are excellent. UPS is union and last I checked they still turn a profit.

That's a fantastic idea!!!
Why don't we just unionize??? It works for UPS!

@bbsam isnt it a big no-no for a Ground contractor to be using an unmarked vehicle? No DOT number, Fedex name or anything....

A brand new 900 that is being used to transport freight in with no stickers on it. Plain white.

Technically should have the contractor's name and operated by FedEx Ground at a minimum. Surprised local management let it go.

 

[bbsam]

Actually surprised because that's not done at local level. vehicles have to be approved at the district level and finally from Pittsburgh.

It was at my station, picking up freight. I asked the driver if he was undercover. Lol.

Don't know about the driver but the contractor probably is.

Did he offer you some candy and ask you to go for a ride?

I still don't understand it though.

 

[It will be fine]

I still don't understand it though.

Fedex got themselves classified as an airline. This means any working group has to vote for a union on a national level all at once. This is hard if not impossible to accomplish.
