Maintenance Craft PSE OT Question

Posted on by 21cpw User Post

DOL-Overtime-RegsI’m having an issue with PSE OT. With the Line H stuff, management has us all working 10 hour days plus day off. We have one PSE who also is being made to work 4 10 hour days and 8 hours on his 5th day.

I read the contract as if career employees are on the OTDL they can’t work OT. Yes or No? 5 career work M-F with start times varying from 6am-8am, one has days off of Sun-Mon 8am start time.
PSE also has these days off but comes in at 10 am. Thanks in advance.

    We are having the same issues over here in the Portland District. As I read the contract it states that management should maximize in the following order:
    (1) ODL employees up to 12 hrs per day,
    (2) PSE employees up to 12 hrs per day, then
    (3) non-ODL employees.

    My issue is that they are not working ODL employees 12 hours per day before forcing non-ODL employees to work OT. Also, starting next week they have decreased our over all over time (yet still requiring non-ODL employees to work their non-scheduled day (6th day)) and yet giving PSE 10 hour days 6 times a week – again not working the PSE or the ODL employees a full 12 hours per day before forcing a non-ODL employee to work. Further, we are being denied any Annual Leave request with the reasoning “Line H” yet they are only working us the 1 day of Overtime which is our non-scheduled day rather than working us the 2 hours pre/post tour OT they have been doing the last month? So which is it — are we trying to make up man hours under Line H or are we not? If we are, then we should all be working the full dose of OT as we have been doing the last month.

    It simply feels as though management is punishing the workforce by taking away our summer simply because they failed to properly staff – and we (union) called them on it.
