another week and counting with no payment for the coursework we did. in what world is it ok not to pay your employees for the work they did? i don't do this job for love, that's for sure. this while new buses are bought and displayed to taunt us. there's clearly the money there. i urge those of you that haven't already to bug the fuck out of the union and something might get done.
You guys got it all wrong. You see, the company knows what a boring, repetitive, dead end job we have and they're just doing this to add some drama to our pathetic and miserabe lives! Be grateful! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
I assume when you say the COMPANY that you mean the OWNER
Again the email was sent yesterday and it seems that we aren't gonna get paid until everyone who hands it in hands it in complete with no errors because it says they are returning it to people with address errors and other stuff as well etc 🤦🏻�♂️

Obviously.
I knew that but wanted to clarify just in case some people in management read it and interpret it as they are included in the "company." Which they shouldn't but you never know.
Am I wrong by saying that if they pay us now it will screw up our unemployment? If we are owed 14 hours and they pay us for 14 hours we would have to put that down as "Hours Worked" for the week. I am willing to wait until our first paycheck after we come back if that's the case. Just my thoughts ..
That payment is for hours already worked. We did not work for it now... that's how I see it. Your thoughts

Not really because when we get the extra checks during xmas and Easter when we claim UI we don't put down more than the 0-10 hour mark so I don't see how it interferes with UI

That's why Scott is insisting that payroll split it up so that we don't get more than 10 hours in any one week.

I agree. When we certify for benefits every week it doesn't ask how many hours did you get PAID last week. It asks how many hours did you WORK last week. And obviously the answer to that is zero hours!!!

So just like I said in another post, we're not seeing that until September

Look, they can't cover every possibility. They're not going to say, "How many hours did you get paid for training?" ... or anything that specific. The assumption is that if you worked, you got PAID. Work = Pay. Even if it's for work you did in the past.

However, upon further research, AI said this ...

If this is correct, I would be inclined to agree with you. However, the state of NY might not agree so I think it is wise of Scott to err on the side of caution.
I believe I've been saying that for a month.
Yes, I'm patting myself on the back
Read today's email from Pioneer
Needless to say
Although disappointed it was what I expected
Thanks to Scott our Shop Steward for trying his best.
It's money in the bank. It's just that right now it's his ... not ours. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
