All,
Really not much to share this week, just rolling over some updates and reminders from previous weeks. Next week is our biennial convention in Philadelphia. At our last local meeting, we took a vote to see how the local feels about each proposed amendment. Those results are posted outside the control room. If you have any questions or opinions on those amendments or about convention at all, please don't hesitate to ask. Also, congrats to ZD for being our newest CPC!
AL Retirement Gift
We are still collecting money to donate to Al's season tickets as a retirement gift. You can send me any donations via venmo or PayPal to drew.s.stewart@gmail.com. His retirement party is tomorrow night (4/10) in Tacoma at the Parkway Tavern @ 6pm. Click here to RSVP on the facebook.
Shift Change Request Reminder
Remember that shift changes for an entire pay period can be done 28 days before the first day of that pay period. So the actual day of the request could be 40 days out but as long as it is within 4 weeks of the Sunday that starts the pay period, it is legit. A simpler way to look at it is that at midnight on Saturday night/Sunday morning is the first second that you can put in a request for a pay period that is two ahead.
Credit Request Reminder
The biggest thing I want to remind everyone of with credit requests is YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE CREDIT ON THE BOOKS TO REQUEST TO BURN IT. Meaning if you have 4 days of credit requested throughout the year then it is not possible for you to have the days necessary to cover that since we can only have 24hrs of credit. Please keep an eye on this. It is a very easy thing to get caught doing wrong and if you get caught doing it, you will likely be the reason mgmt audits everyone’s leave requests.
In Solidarity,
Drew
