Monday Layoffs

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

He doesn't want the voluntary layoff though

If he has enough seniority then he needs to come to work.

Is it true that... blah blah blah..and I have over 30 years.

30 years of what?

Crying?

Not knowing how to get real life answers from the real life job?

maybe a little motivation is all he needs.

Is it true that seniority gives you the right to work, not the right to not work? Our dispatch supervisor says that the top seniority drivers must work on Monday before lower seniority drivers. My route is usually out in Mondays, and I have over 30 years. I would rather take a layoff than to follow my work on another route or do a vacation route. I work in Michigan under Central States. Do I have the right to take a layoff or am I forced to work on Monday? I'm the highest seniority driver with their route taken out and around 10-15 Monday-Friday drivers are usually sent home.

If you are in Michigan in Local 243 the following applies:

(G) Whenever there is a need to reduce regular package car drivers(s) (RPCD) on a day in a center, the Company will offer RPCDs the right to take the day off by seniority.

That language is also beneficial to the company. Let an old guy who makes $40 an hour stay home and have a younger RPCD making $25 an hour come in and work. WIN WIN The company is extremely happy with this trade off.

Our dispatch supervisor says

The dispatch supervisor is usually the last person in my building I go to for contract-related questions.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

I hope that I didn't scare off @Triple Threat ?

I was going to tell him the answer....

You probably did. You are very scary.

Geeezis

There's a ground fighter I know born with webbed hands.

Freakishly strong.

I'd do'er...

Wait what are we talking about here

Jam it up their ass this coming Monday. Take all your breaks, stop completely at every stop sign, use designated walk paths, fold in your mirror, any method you can think of that will help you not get it done. They’ll get the message and put a runner on it.

A little asterisk here, don’t tell your boss your gonna do this as you clock in, then you will be fired for sabotaging the operation. Be a man and jam it up their ass quietly.

Let's go on strike screw it all.

They are trying to cut back on 6th day punches. The low seniority guys are going to be forced to work Saturday. So they need the higher guys to work on Monday.

 

[Steamer]

If you don’t know what you’re talking about it’s best to just be quiet
SMH

Well then. LOL We have a seniority based day off list at our center when routes are cut.

Ummmmmm. This is what we do everyday...

Just wait until you see today....

• Seniority DOES give you the right to work.

• 30 years and you don't know one of the guys that are laid off that would like to work and cover the route?

They have taken that choice away from us AND can force us to work Saturday if we do take Monday off

 

[iruhnman630]

In the past we have deferred to past practice and allowed voluntary layoff by seniority.

No more.

Our 3-center building is now building-wide high seniority works.

In other words, even the high seniority drivers whose routes are cut can be forced to work in another center if necessary.

My current route has become one of those cut routes despite having a heavy pickup load on Mondays. It is ridiculous.

 

[iruhnman630]

Do you realize how many senior employees will take a bad day and not file for unemployment

I would.

Its better than feeling like a rookie on a blind route.

And it helps out the broke newbie who went out and bought that brand new truck once hired.

I rarely take the day myself

If you’re high seniority you should be able to follow your work. But if they sent me to another center they would be very sorry.

Saturday has made a mess of everything
