Hey Proud, where did you see that because I can not find it. I was trying to copy and and paste the link for those who would be interested as I am one of them.

And if they posted it on the window and didn't send an email to everyone people would say it's not official. There is no way they are going to make everyone happy.

Drivers don't even take the time to read the list of schools posted daily that are closed. I mean seriously do you listen to the radio in the morning it's the same drivers asking about the same schools that have in fact been closed since we returned to work.

I am sorry but drivers that have been just taking their buses out and driving around knowing their schools were closed surely knew exactly what they were doing. Listen if your going to put your big boy pants on and knowingly do things you know you shouldn't then be a big boy when you get caught.

I know for a fact in this very forum that drivers have been advised to not just take their bus and leave without first checking to insure their schools were open.

We all know that this year has sucked for many of us if not all of us. But I urge all of us not to give them anymore ammunition to make things even worse. We get paid pretty well for what we do and I for one do not care to lose said income.

Not sure it's sneaky I think it's more of a direct message. It basically doesn't apply to most drivers as long as you have one school open be it am or pm. And I kind of recall even before the letter drivers being advised not to just take their bus out if they know their schools are closed. I doubt they have enough work for everyone who potentially doesn't have a school to service. I am curious as to what they will do with drivers who have no work to cover.
And if after receiving that letter a driver still decides not to tell them he has no Schools to cover then it is on them.

Here we go again this is absolutely ridiculous. At this point I truly don't care if we are open or closed I am just tired of the roller coaster ride.

Just wanted to wish everyone a Safe and Happy New Year. May everyone find peace and laughter in the coming year. Remember to hug your loved ones and try to be grateful for what we do have. Looking forward to seeing everyone in the new year God Bless.

OMG, my only advice to you is to try and just file a claim. It may be different because you potentially didn't exhaust all of your weeks based off your original claim. But when I got to that point with my son I just continued to claim and the system allowed it. Not sure why it's so damn confusing. BUT SERIOUSLY ARE ANY OF US SURPRISED AT THIS POINT !!!!

Buzz, I have been trying to explain to everyone just continue to claim you don't have to do anything else. The extensions just kick in automatically.

Also Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and Happy New Year !!!!

There are extensions still in place as well. I was able to extend my sons claim without opening a new book. Just something to think about and potentially look into.

Merry Christmas Everyone, may you find peace and comfort surrounding yourselves with the people that mean the most to you.
Also let's keep everyone in our prayers especially our brothers and sisters who have unfortunately suffered to much loss this year.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE !!!!

docjones,
Just be aware it's for a lot less money.

Now I can Buy that pack of gum I was looking at for weeks 

In all seriousness it's a good thing. 

Omg, I would just try to file period. There are still two extensions in place although the 16 weeks under the cares act is set to expire December 31st. But there is also the 20 week extension that NY State put in place as well. Not sure if it applies to us but just food for thought.

Thanks Buzz, at least that is some good news to help usher out 2020.

Not sure if by Christmas adjustment you mean the accrual check but just so you know he did pay the opt out money. So I am hopeful he will pay the Christmas accrual as well.  But I guess this being 2020 anything can and will happen.

Andrew was making a list of drivers who didn't get a full weeks pay last week. Not sure if it pertains to everyone or just drivers that fall under the legacy contract. Either way he needs you to let him know I am guessing they will be going to arbitration just like the previous week.
This really does suck with the no more guaranteed weeks !!!!
