My wife is currently a TCD, and has several times declined taking a full-time position because she doesn't want to work that many hours, be away from the family, etc. Since peak of 2019 she has been forced to work 12-14 hour days driving, and in a recent phone conference with the center manager and union rep she was told that she's being overworked so the manager can try to minimize his 9.5 greivances and penalties. She has tried to apply for 8's, but was rejected by management, saying she is not elegible to apply. She has tried to tell them a number of times that she is not available on certain days, but they refuse to respect that, and refuse to comunicate with her ahead about what she is going to be doing each day. There have been days where she was told to report for Preload, and then received a txt msg 30 minutes before start time to report for driver start instead. There have also been a number of days where she was forced to drive while full time drivers were given layoff days. She is frequently given routes with splits from other routes that are so far in the red they turn purple (Orion often shows an ETA when she leaves the building of 9:30-10 PM, without breaks). At the same time there are full-timers in the center that frequently are HOME before 6 PM. Any suggestions for what to do? Please, no sarc about part-timers. We are genuinely looking for advice. The Union Rep doesn;t seem to care, we have filed greviances numerous times, and they don't seem to make any difference.
TL;DR - Part-Time Wife being overworked to prevent full-timer 9..5 greviances, what to do?
