thanks guy. my post 459 had it, article 7A.2. they CAN work the PTR's flexible hours as needed. when the PM posts the schedule, he can change the PTR's on a weekly basis. what's funny is "to work flexible hrs." i know that means different start times, but i believe the union will fight for a set # of hrs per week. who can live not knowing what their salary will be on a weekly basis? what about PTR's that were hired in 1989 with 36 hr week? they have their life set up on those hrs? now you're going to cut 22 hrs off of their paycheck? try that with management and see what happens...
