A union shop where no 30-year vet wanted to get a 4-hour minimum OT to drive out and unscrew a screw? Or the company didn't want to pay OT for it? I'll leave

A union shop where no 30-year vet wanted to get a 4-hour minimum OT to drive out and unscrew a screw?
Or the company didn't want to pay OT for it?
I'll leave it to the reader to decide which is more likely.
- mc32 5y agoThe alternative is anyone who knows how to use a screwdriver could do it in 30-seconds. Talk about waste of resources, fuel, etc., etc. Oh, Oh, Oh! I know, if they let this one time slip HERE in THIS INSTANCE is where the SLIPPERY SLOPE applies, but, obviously no where else, especially in politics.
- cool_dude85 5y agoApparently, that's not what the contract says. It says just certain job titles can do that work. So it sounds like thr alternative is to pay the OT, which is at the discretion of management.
- mc32 5y agoAh, job titles... Awesome! Sorry, not my department --I could do it, but I'm not allowed to do it (shrug!) That attitude pervades the public sector an infuriates the people they are supposedly serving.
- wutbrodo 5y agoObviously both are true, by definition. The ridiculousness of the situation is not about the choices made by the technician and the company, but the fact that the guy that was already there was prohibited from using a screwdriver.
