(Contract)
Don’t be a victim! If someone took $50 or $100 dollars
from you, it would make you angry and you’d probably like to do something about
it. Well consider this; if you lose 10-15 minutes a day or an hour or two of
overtime a week what does it add up to? Figure a week, a month, or a year. Does
the company benefit from the supervisors working? Yes, of course they do
supervisors are on salary and get paid the same no matter how long they stay,
even if it’s your job. So, don’t be a victim of robbery, tell them you won’t
stand for MANAGEMENT stealing from you!

Supervisors
Working “Ghost Employees”- This violates Article 3 section 7 (pg 8) of the contract. ß (Online contract)
The Employer agrees that supervisors or other employees of the Employer who are not members of the bargaining unit shall not perform any bargaining unit work except where permitted by the applicable Supplement, Rider or Addendum and only after exhausting all procedures set forth in such Supplement, Rider or Addendum.
The Employer also agrees that supervisors shall not perform bargaining unit
work in preparing the work areas before the start of the Employer's hub,
preload or reload operation, nor shall the Employer send any bargaining
unit employee home and then have such employee's work performed by a
supervisor.
If an aggrieved employee proves at any step of the grievance procedure that
a supervisor performed bargaining unit work in violation of the supervisor's
working provisions in this Agreement or the applicable Supplement, Rider or
Addendum under which the employee is entitled to be paid, he or she will be
provided the following remedy: If such work amounts to less than two (2) hours
the aggrieved employee will be paid the actual hours worked by the supervisor.
If the supervisor's work exceeded two (2) hours, the aggrieved employee will be
paid four (4) hours or actual hours worked whichever is greater. Any payments
shall be at the grievant's rate of pay. Such remedy shall be in addition to any
other remedies sought by the Union in the applicable grievance procedure.
Paid-For Time "Get Paid-on time"- Article 17 states that:
Wages for properly selected vacations, in all instances, will be paid to the
employees no later than the workday prior to their vacation. If the employee
does not receive his/her vacation check, the Employer will make all reasonable
efforts to provide the check the following day including delivery by Saturday
or Next Day Air. Other shortages involving more than thirty dollars ($30.00)
for full-time employees, and fifteen dollars ($15.00) for part-time employees
will be corrected and the payment will be made available to the employee at
his/her reporting location on his/her second scheduled workday after reporting
the shortage. If the Employer fails to make the payment available on the
employee's second scheduled workday and the shortage was the result of the
Employer's error, the employee will be paid an additional amount equal to
one- half (1/2) of his/her daily guarantee at his/her regular hourly rate.
Part-time rate = (3.5hr divided by 0.5daily rate = 1.75hrs)
**(Errors of less than thirty dollars ($30.00) for full-time employees or
fifteen dollars ($15.00) for part-time employees and overages will be corrected
in the following weekly paycheck.)
"If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, or have any effect on my personal working conditions, I respectfully request that my union representative, officer or steward be present at this meeting. Without representation, I choose not to participate in this discussion."
