After they got rid of 8 more city guys last Friday the overtime numbers weren't all that bad for Monday. I was surprised that they were so low, the OT percentage was only 45%, lol. The loads of freight are lined up on the fence already, just another YRC mistake, again. Everybody laid off in LO get ready to come back to work unless they can find a loophole to break the new contract.
OVERTIME
A new formula for immediately recalling laid-off employees when the
number of overtime hours in a terminal exceeds a 25 percent weekly
threshold of total terminal hours worked.
85 people times 50 hours = 4250 hours
45% minus 25% = 20%
4250 hours times 20% = 850 hours
850 hours divided by 50 hours = 17 people
17 people laid off = 17 people called back
Simple huh?
$14 CASUALS
In the event a company recalls all workers on layoff and first works
casuals employed prior to April 1, 2008, it may ultimately utilize
some four-hour, $14 per hour dock casuals. In all likelihood, the
four-hour casual will not be used until the competitiveness of the
NMFA carriers improves. In addition, four-hour casuals are eligible
for all benefit contributions according to the applicable supplemental
agreement.
