Is anyone familiar with the term "limited" and how it used to give hours? Ive worked in the deli for 10yrs at about 30-32 hours a week for most of those years. 3 out of 7 days I am available whenever they need me, the other 4 I am only available for evening hours. All of a sudden now they are throwing around the word "limited" and giving me the crappiest hours available. We have college students who are only avail on the weekends and they are getting the choice hours. Well if they"limited" to weekends only, why and the **** am I getting crap hours (closing shift) after 10yrs when most of these kids only been there a year at best. Ive been trying to find the rules for this in writing. My Union rep is looking into it. If this is a rule then I am fine, I will just "limit" the work I do. Let these people with better hours do all the **** I was doin while they stood around with their hands in their pockets. I will show them "limited". Help me out here.
Write down your availability for each day if you have not already done so. With having ten years seniority, you should get a majority of what you are asking for. (keep in mind management will say your hours will be scheduled to take care of customers) However, if those w/ less seniority are getting hours you are entitled to, you may have a case.
If you work ONLY on fridays, saturdays and sundays then you are guaranteed 24 hours. Otherwise you may only get 12 hours for the week. So it would be in your best interest to only work those 3 days if you want 24 hours per week.
Thanks, they did have all of us fill a availability paper. My Union rep did get back to me. Told me that by being limited it keeps me Status 4. Still don't explain how a college kid who works weekends only gets the earlier hours. I just going to "limit" the work I do, hehe. Two can play this game.
I have been told they can give you any hours they want as long as you sre being scheduled enough hours senority wise. I wonder what senority really means sometimes. Seems some get a great schedule and some across the board. I still work closing checking shifts more often than not and wonder after 25 years why some of these new kids get earlier checking shifts or 1 +1 checking shifts lol.

I do not know how it works in your area but you could always "pull" their shifts! At our store in the Mid-Atlantic if you are scheduled hours later than someone who has less seniority you can take their hrs and give them yours. It has to be done by 12(noon) Sat. Check into and "fight back"
policy is that if you are or want to be full time then you need to be available to work any and all shifts. I have 5 full timers plus me and two part timers with one claiming her was hired as full time with cutting experience.
He has no production cutting ability yet and only been there 3 weeks. Get anywhere from 284 to 310 hours to run the department. According to the contract I have only two people that are guaranteed 40 hours and one is me. Other full timers can go to as low as 28 hours a week to maintain there full time benefits Their pay can be cut to a part time lever if they go below an average of 35 hours per week. I need to schedule to the needs of the department and the customers first. When they or any others limit their availability then their hours will be cut. If you got someone that can not close thru the week days but can work any of those days until 5 pm. I do not need them. If they can not do production cutting work then they do not get the time. If they want to limit their availability then they do not need the hours and they need to be given to those that can work it.
