We’ve been meeting with Management for two days, and while we have been able to secure some improvements to our contract like protections for evening and night shift workers who are selected for jury duty, Management is refusing to budge where it matters most to our day to day lives.

We’ve been advocating for solutions to the problem of schedule changes after the schedule has been posted on the 20th of each month. Management has not been willing to offer concrete solutions that we can enforce.

Additionally, we have been advocating to make sure that longevity increases go into effect on the employee’s anniversary date. Currently, the wage increase doesn’t go into effect until the 1st full pay period afterwards. That means that someone could be missing out on almost 2 weeks’ worth of their contractual raise! Management has demonstrated the ability to make this change, but they say it’s an “administrative burden”.

Have you been having issues with schedule changes?
