Title: An Important Message from Ernie
Post by: Buzz on September 19, 2020, 05:22:13 PM
I know some of you complain about the perceived lack of communication from the union and having to get news from me (or others) but I just spoke to Ernie and this guy is beyond exhausted so he asked me to relay these messages.

#1) Everybody is getting paid as we were told for last week. 100% for Monday and Tuesday, 85% for the remaining 3 days.

#2) People who are not scheduled to work next week may be called by Pioneer to cover a run. YOU WILL GET ONLY A DAY'S PAY at 100% if you go in to work. There will be no additional pay.

#3) Runs are being reconfigured by OPT right now ... through the weekend ... to try to achieve social distancing. Therefore, everyone will have to come in Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to do dry runs all over again. You will be paid 100% for those days. (Two days of dry runs and one day of  additional training.)

#4) We should get our accrual and opt out money by Sept. 27

#5) IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IF YOU ARE WORKING NEXT WEEK, CALL THE OFFICE!!
People will be in the office Saturday and Sunday.

From what we're told right now it's going to be between Wednesday and Friday. Doubt they'll be ready before then. We'll get more details about this during the week.

Shouldn't OPT have thought of this before making us do Dry runs Last week ? Nobody at OPT had any inclination that the runs needed to be reconfigured ? What a waste !
