using your seniority to not work

[Wally]

That doesn't fly here. They are instructed to put it in. All call-ins use days if they're available.
But going home after showing up doesn't. Especially since I usually get a few minutes of clock time. So, it counts as me being there, and keeps my days intact.

So you are giving up contracted guaranteed time?

Of course. And that is my right. I don't want the time.

I have the right to be offered that work, and I have the right to turn it down if the labor isn't needed.

No one talked about working while unpaid or skipping lunch.

Going home under guaranteed time is the same thing. Previous union members fought hard for that guaranteed.

It's not the same thing. I don't work off the clock.

I'm guaranteed 3.5 hours.

I like to work about 0.035 hours.
When it's light, I get to do that. I'm exercising a contractual right. The contract gives me the right to choose whether to work.

Ok scab.

 

[wilberforce15]

Ok scab.

I can't even contort my mind around enough to understand how a union member, paying union dues, never working off the clock, and regularly filing grievances. is a scab.

We don't go home before the guaranteed time unless the company is paying you. We are not flex time.

 

[wilberforce15]

Then why doesn't the contract say that?

Guaranteed is not required.

 

[wilberforce15]

If you want me to be required to work my guarantee, maybe negotiate that into the contract.

 

[Wally]

Then why doesn't the contract say that?

Guaranteed is not required.

Ok, let the company send people home at will.

 

[wilberforce15]

Ok, let the company send people home at will.

The company can't sent people home at all (without pay). They can only ask.

And I can say yes.

Yep, scab behavior. It weakens the union.

 

[wilberforce15]

If you want me to be required to work my guarantee, put it in the contract.
All you have to do is change guaranteed hours to minimum required hours.

Until then, you can take a chill pill.
I'm exercising a right that the union created. That's not anti-union.

Creates flex time.

One thing this forum puts in perspective is some hubs are pulling 60+ hour weeks and forced 6 days and other hubs are begging guys to go home and work 3 days a week.

 

[TeltBender]

Yep, scab behavior. It weakens the union.

70% of the company making sure you get paid $40 an hour

 

[wilberforce15]

Creates flex time.

Then maybe you should put it in the contract that I don't have guaranteed time, but that I have required time.

Until then, you can't get mad at a union employee exercising a contractual right.

Just work the 3.5.
