My building has Feeder runs that are Tuesday through Saturday and runs that are Sunday through Thursday. Package car is Monday through Friday unless you take a day off in the middle of the week and can work Saturday Air.

We've got T-S FT drivers as well as FT 22.3s. I enjoyed working Saturday because Saturday air was easy money, easiest money of the week. Beats any regular weekday. Also, having Mondays off was nice.

Is there language in your supplement for an alternate work week schedule?

A couple of package car drivers are saying if they take a day off during the week they get to work Saturday to make it up regardless of seniority. Yes there is language to work an alternate schedule. Contract used to say Saturday was time and a half and Sunday double time. Now it says your 6th day is OT and 7th day is double time. Hub Day sort works Sunday through Thursday and have for years.

They would have the opportunity to work, after scheduled Saturday air drivers.
And then, it's still in seniority order.

So are you saying just because a driver took a day off during the week that does not move him up to the front of the seniority list.

3 done 3 to go
In control of own destiny
Wouldn't Sunday /Monday off. Mean the same as Saturday /Sunday? Still just 2 days off. I would rather like to have 4-12 hr days with 3 days off. Then it would feel like an extra day off

As the others have mentioned, not all supplements address this in detail.
Ours merely states...
"Part time employees will work off the part time employee seniority lists at each Center. Only part time employees hired after August 1, 1987 for the hub only, may be required to work a six (6) day operation."
And, lets not forget that the needs of the business comes first. So, the company can push to have the contract modified to fit those needs.

If you choose to not work a day during the week you aren't guaranteed your 40.

yes, then sundays, then holidays, then Christmas, then forced off vacations, then no sick days.then the company will force congress to eliminate the HOS rules.then on call 24/7, then DEATH.
then they will force you to sign over your children to work after they turn 18 in your will.
you heard it first.

Do you need an air compressor or tire gauge
It is heading that way. Considering this was the first year I was forced to work the day after Thanksgiving.

I'm being really facetious but there is an element of truth in facetiousness.
a lot of us have been here long enough to witness the takeaways. first it was the lowly Christmas turkey. I raised hell because I knew if you give them an inch they will want a mile. then they took away the safe driving gift catalog. its all small potatoes but it adds up.
I understand the company has to compete and do business by offering service the day after thanksgiving , Saturdays, and probably eventually sundays and other holidays but they should add MORE EMPOYEES!
the managers have it worse than we do. now most managers are doing the job of 1.5 to 2 managers of 10-15 years ago. they want drivers to do the same . they wait to see the push back and when they don't see very much resistance the takeaways become greater and the work gets piled on.
I've seen the writing on the wall for years now but when I try to explain this to other drivers in my hub its like talking to that wall.

Hindsight sure is 20/20, isn't it?
I remember when I was a rookie and they told us we would never deliver air on a Saturday.
