Twice now we've had our new schedule write screw people over on the schedule and the union has been involved for a while now. Due to unfair schedules. Coupled with people complaining left and right about this or that. Twice now in the past few months we've had to rely on the paper wall schedule because the manager has not approved the schedule for it to appear on esced. I asked the union what to do if the manager tinkers with the schedule hours after it's been posted. They replied: Stick to the originally posted wall schedule if they have removed shifts from you. Contact us if they harass you about it. Especially if they fail to inform you 48 hrs of change of shift. They also can not pencil you in shifts without informing you of it.
If manager has decided to step it up a notch by f'n with my schedule some more. No, I'm done at this point. IT's one thing to work me thinly and f' with my schedule. It's another thing to completely remove me from it for just cause. No, at that point I'm done an ethics report for sure. Union grievance is taking too much time. First rep assigned to us decided to quit and another one got assigned to us. The second one seems much better than our first one. I miss our old rep who didn't take cra*-p and made sure managers didn't walk all over employees.
Turns out the manager is getting flakey at publishing and writing it. Confirmed that today. My company they're not to post it 3 days before it goes live. IF they start this behavior again I'll contact union and they'll get on his a$$ about it. No later than noon on fri, thurs preferred. Definitely no later than Tue. My company we have 2 weeks out on schedule and if they're going back to being stingy abt schedule again it's a union call.
Scheduling tricks and traps are a great way to mess with people. No one is supposed to know how the schedule gets made. Violating union contracts is another secret technique. Hang on to your job in this time of uncertainty but maybe not THIS job.
