FDX: BKO grievance
A group grievance has been filed by the union disputing how the company is paying "block over 8". "the block over ten, although part of the trip guarantee, is in addition to the trip rig flown, not just scheduled. Therefore, the trips overage and OSC should have been paid based upon trip rig plus the block in excess of 8, plus the guarantee (block in excess of 10) for those duty days where the block was in excess of 10." As an example, if your block was scheduled at 11+30, you should be paid an extra 2 hours pay (capturing the between 8 and 10 hours) regardless whether your actual block is less than 11+30 due to winds, etc. Right now if you block 11+00 instead of 11+30, the company is only paying 1+30 extra pay, docking you the +30 that the union claims is part of your trip guarantee. Clear as mud?....figured this may apply to a few of you.......
