Guild members should track night work
As our members should know by now, the company has stopped paying $3 “night differential” after illegally imposing its work rules.
The Guild is advising its members to continue to note with an “N” on their time cards when they work at night and then cross out the “N.” Then also keep a list of what nights you have worked since Jan. 1.
This will help build a record of who has worked nights in 2008. Should the Labor Board declare the impasse illegal, one option for remedy could include requiring the company to pay out the night differential it has withheld.
The crossed out “N” on your time card and your own list of what nights you worked could be useful evidence to determine how much money you are owed should the Labor Board choose to take this action as a remedy.
