Told to sign a sheet titled "mandatory attendance"

[Wally]

I would add, "unless I am sick, in which case I may call in", as per union contract. Just write it in by your name but don't sign.

Last night my part time supervisor told all his employees they had to sign a sheet that told us the start time for today (Good Friday) was 4:30 and attendance was mandatory. We were also told if we didn't sign it our jobs were on the line. I can't believe they try this stuff. What does the contract say about this? Certainly we can't be penalized for taking a religious holiday.

Anytime to you have to sign for something u can "rts" it. I believe the only thing u can't do it for d.o.t. stuff

You can't be penalized for taking ANY day off, as long as you follow your locals call in procedures. You can call out during peak. You'll tick people off, but there's NOTHING they can do

The religious holiday has been on the calendar the whole year so if you wanted to take it off you should have put in your request. Calling in just screws your co-workers.

Yeah, because ALL of my co-workers give me the heads up whenever they plan on calling out.

LOL
