lol.....somebody's awfully smiley today!!!hope your having a good time!!

He is really smiley today.  Must be all those beers I saw posted earlier.

If we take demand days the day after the holiday do we get paid the holiday? I would think so since I would code it pdp. Did anyone ask that question during contract interp?

Pdp is excused time paid, you would get the holiday off paid.  It only applies to the unexcused time off before or after the holiday. 

WC depends on the state... You still mark the time as an on the job injury.  In Washington State, time loss is in effect after the 3rd day of absence, but the injury and it's care are still paid by Sedgwick.  Be sure to call Unicall and when you see your doctor, report it as an on the job injury.

 

the holiday rule went into effect with ratification.....

 

you talk asif ti's your right to callout and get paid to take time to be with your family by claiming that you're  sick

caution in calling out...be very careful it could bite you in the backside

especially if the local manager wants to be nasty and see's you out and about or you are reported by a coworker.........

 

there could be an investigation and suspension and posible termination for theft and falsification of campany records

 

it's no wonder they are suplusing .........

 

the network folks give them all the reasons in the world to cut 

networks have got  techs that have been hangin out at c.o.'s and then charging huge

o.t charges,  tech's that hide out to avoid work and then turn tickets back(both actual abitration cases).

 

the behavior is probably still happening.

 

how can the union defend that type of behavior>>>>???????

 

it's sickening and  indefsensible.......

 

you folks just can't get it thru you thick skulls that

 

you've caused the QJD issue with your behavior......

you just keep shooting yourselves with the collective foot and then yelling that the union isn't helping....... 

 

on a little lighter side....

 

the company isn't using the QJD system correctly, if your local steward doesn't know how to scrub the QJD numbers to get the actual correct figures. Maybe it's time to replace some stewards before  your local gets sued for lack for fair representation.  Call D7 if you haven't heard  or know about scrubbing the QJD numbers.....educate yourselves since the local in your area isn't doing it. Recall your local elected officals if they aren't educating members.

 

In the mean time,  make sure your CWA house is clean and in order.........

 

try not to give them any more ammunition so that you can shoot yourselves  in the foot.........

QwestPest why are you saying these things, like everyone is just faking it.

   Maybe people are faking anything.   Get yourself some compassion dude.  I'm sure that there are things that bug people about YOU TOO.

   Like your bad mouthing your fellow members. 

Maybe people aren't faking it.  

Dear Pest....

The only people whoever get called out are in network... we are a network company.  They don't need sales and collections folks in the middle of the night.  We got rid of operator services a long time ago, so yes, you betcha it's network that gets the call outs.  Customers want their service.  Network employees are pulling weekend and holiday duty all the time.  Some have never had Christmas eve off in 29 years (if it was on a weekday), but it's the job they signed on for. They are scheduled to work evening and night shifts as well.  When folks are ill or need to be home to care for a family member, that's where they should be.  It's life, take a deep breath, it happens.  Or is Ebeneezer your first name? 

 

Reported by a co-worker?  Don't even think about going there.  They aren't surplussing because of call outs, they're surplussing because people at the top mismanaged the business and we don't sell the services that people want to buy any longer.  We're like the Big 3 automakers, if you provide a service people want and need they'll buy it, but we quit listening to our customers, to our employees... we no longer provide what people want, so they go with the companies who can deliver a better network to their door and it's connected to their own wireless network.  

 

We, the employees, are not the problem at Qwest.  We've been the solution to every problem they have created in one way, shape or form.  They've (corporate officers) made it our responsibility to bail their butts out... we've been reorganized, down sized, re-engineered, outsourced, surplussed, force adjusted, laterally moved, laid off and retired, we've been re-processed more than a can of spam or a pound of hotdogs.  We do more with less, every day and the less is becoming the preferred quantity of time spent with customers and in installing or repairing service.

 

Everyone who breaks the rules intentionally knows the ramifications, the consequences they'll suffer.  You don't need to chastise the rest of us for the sins of a very, very small if any group of people. 

 

Please spend your time writing letters to Mr. Mueller, members of the board and upper management... explaining to them the err of their ways.  Network isn't the problem, they are the solution. 

 

 

Qwestpest is the most SOUR employee I've seen in over 40 years. It's easy to see he's NEVER been a steward or held an office in OUR union. Nope he just sits back and bitches about his fellow employees. What a MAROON.
