Just received clarification on how company can use 4 hour shifts from the Union in 391 area.
1. No 4 hour bids.
2. Do not have to accept a 4 hour shift. If you do, they can't hold you over 4 unless you want to
3. If you accept a 4 hour shift, they can call a jr. man in before your shift is up for a 4 or 8 hour shift. They do not have to offer you any extra time if you accept the 4 hour shift.
4. After a 4 hour shift, 6 hours off then you can accept another shift.
5. If you work a 4 hour shift and stay 6, they have to keep you 8.
To me, #3 is where the opportunity for the company to abuse the most.
