I thought you said before you were in a union, seems they would have had to negotiate this
@Stealth83: Â Sometimes, Unions actually make it worse. Â When I worked in LA, the Union contract said that all overtime and call-outs on off hours must start with the craftsmen with the lowest seniority. Â A couple of the younger guys had been working a huge amount of overtime and getting a lot of call-outs. Â They asked if they could get a few days break from OT and COs. Ii agreed. Five minutes after I talked to the scheduler, the Union President was in my office. Â That's when I learned about that part of the contract. Â The young guys had to stay on the list. Â I had to tell the younger guys it wasn't the company forcing the issue, it was their Union.
