Workload is not an emergency. Failure to allow workers on PCO to go home before eight hours when the workload diminishes. Failure to follow mandatory overtime guidelines. Failure to take back work per agreed upon guidelines. Failure to comply with other local Shop Committee agreements covering overtime assignments.
Every worker is under considerable pressure to cut corners when the workload gets heavy.
Most accidents resulting in disciplinary actions happen because workers are fatigued or forced to take short cuts, forget to follow their routine or forget to enter information into their hand-held computers. Route studies have become routine in the field. All workers should keep daily journals noting arrival and departure times, customer contacts, and any variations from GRID routing or the normal routine. It's easier to remember specifics if you have documentation to refer to when asked to remember details at a later date. Please use the included form to document mandatory overtime occurrences.
