Crazy Job benefit

[Dialer]

So at my work, they allow “Day Trades”, where you can work someone else’s shift, then work your shift for 2 days, which gives the other guy a four day weekend, then he does the same for you the next week. Some of the guys have it worked out to where they are actually on the job only half the year... It’s crazy! Then, if you want to take one of the days your working for the other guy, you can take off if ya want! Our union and company work really well together, so blessed!

Congrats. So long as everyone is pulling the wagon toward the same destination some amazing things can be worked out. It usually falls apart when someone tries to game the system for their benefit at the expense of others.

We can swap shifts as well, as long as the person is equal to your rank or ability. It has to be done in the same 2 week pay cycle though. You have to be careful, some folks aren’t as dependable as you and it can cause a staff shortage. I don’t do it much, I hate working 48’s. Been here long enough to get 2.5 months a year off. I’ll take it.

Too selfish to work union. Glad it works for you. My first job was union and I knew I couldn’t do it back then. I like a winner take all society, all that takes a village stuff is against my constitution.

I agree.
Unions formed to protect employees from employer abuses and now unions abuse employees and employers...

We’ve been at $43.45 per hour since April of 2012. Endured a long fight with the company for nearly 7 years. They refused to pay us what they owed us from those years until we convinced them how much they needed us. We agreed on a $90M ratification bonus, and retroactive pay back to April of 2019 when we ratified, to be paid in August. We all got significant checks in June, and will receive another in August to reflect the 23% increase in pay to about $53 per hour. Everyone happy now.

Sounds like a Cobb/Marietta gig there Jeff! Only reason I say that is cause I am an operator here @ the Roswell WTP and we hired another guy into our fold about a year and a half ago from there and he was on the same noon to midnight schedule and always talked about the property in Ball Ground! Cant remember if he was out of the Quarles or Wyckoff plant though

 

[Hooked On Quack]

Well considering he works on jets I might fly on, pay 'em.
