Me. don't got it. forget everything i just said. you guys have a NEW contract. i haven't been there. the new contract-Article 7A.2 states a part time employee (doesn't say regular or flex) CAN be scheduled as the PM needs on a weekly basis. i also found notes that Burris and the big cheeses wrote between each other. and it states that they are reducing PTR's hours because there is nothing in the contract that states they can't. note: FTR says they have a 40 hr week. but PTR does not have a guaranteed # of hrs. IN THE CONTRACT. that is a big loop hole for management. Burris grieved it, so it's going to be a big, fat mess. wait and see. get the contract and read it for yourself. i'm glad i'm not a PTR anymore. it could really open up a can of worms. but in this guy's case, any maybe mgmt doesn't know very much, i would grieve it and see how it falls. yes, they may make his hours flexible, but cutting them, i don't think that is worked out yet, as per what Burris stated.
