This language is true. You will get 8 option days once you hit 3 years of service or go full time.
No it doesn't. Not in the Southern. You can show up to work, not punch into your board, walk to your car and then go to the office and state you're taking an option day. This can be 1 minute before start time or you could be courteous and call in earlier. Speaking from personal experience here.

Please show me exactly where. It does not exist. I would LOVE to see where it says "You must call in 1 hour before shift." It's simply not there. I've read it multiple times.
Past practice
Past practices doesn't apply in this situation.
Bruh, you got your panties in a bunch? I’m just telling you what I’m told by the business agent and stewards
Funny. I'm in the Southern. Everything I've said has landed my center manager in scolding hot water. I've filed multiple harassment grievances and letters of concern to the union/UPS HR about this exact scenario. You can show up 1 minute prior to start time and choose to use an option day. Past practices be damned, there isn't anything in the Southern Supplement or National Master that states you're required to give them an hour notice. If you don't believe me, try it. Tell them to show you where in the contract it states you have to do that. They won't be able to, just like you haven't been able to show me.
I’m with you not against you. I’m gonna check into it, I’m just going off what I’m told. I’ve never tried calling in later then an hour before
While I agree that there is no language stating in what time manner you have to give them notice of option 3, they will throw out “past practice”. At my center they say 1 hour prior to shift. Frankly that’s being generous. I like your 1 minute notice. The only language of prior notice was for the personal day.No it doesn't. Not in the Southern.

I still like to attempt to give them an hour because there are on-roads in my center that I do like. But if I come in and my route is cut that day and they have me on a trash route? Buh-byyyeeeee
Couldn’t you bump a lower seniority unassigned driver instead of having to burn a day ?
Whiners

So just another thread for UPSers
All the routes at the time were garbage. Going home was the best option.
