1st day Mids

[Nothanks]

Just curious about what people are doing ..

 

[NotKC]

Everyone is doing 5-7 weeks of straight mids in the year. We just finished bidding what mids we're gonna work. We can't bid primetime in our mid weeks. People on 10 hour lines get converted to 5 8's on their mid week to keep it simple.

Like NotKC said except we have all 5 8s so no need to convert anything and everyone only has to work three weeks of straight mids during the year.

Mid line is split RDO 4-10s Day-day-rdo-mid-mid-rdo-rdo. So sorta first day mid.

Interesting

Yea, I wouldn’t count that as a first day mid personally

Everyone is not doing that

I think they mean everyone at their facility

My facility has 4 people that volunteered to do mids all year. I personally think a couple of them are gonna tap out but the ink is dry on the BWS sooooo….. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[RB]

My facility has a few different lines.. but the mid line is a day mid on the first day, with the day being 0430-1030. The missed 2 hrs on that shift are made up on two other mids that week.

How are they going to do all the worthless briefings, box checking, and meetings though? Will they be forced to do them at 6am, bleary eyed and under slept? lol

Wow, I'm actually surprised this was accepted by the local union and it's members. It very much restricts leave bidding opportunities for the lower seniority people. Now not only do they get to bid last, but they get leave restricted on the mid weeks they are "forced" into. Say they need leave for wedding in early April, they are forced into mid lines in early April... there are still PTL slots available in early April when it gets to them but they cannot bid them? Absolutely not a good idea.

That’s horrendous why are people agreeing to that

ATM is telling us to get wrecked on the schedule we laid out. Neither side will budge so negotiations are going as expected.

I’m curious how many 24/7 facilities are still negotiating.

Straight trash. Must be a smaller facility with younger people with smaller balls to stand up to management.

We have 2 areas doing swing day day rdo mid on 4-10s. Another area doing the maxi flex rattler. Two more areas doing the standard cascading with weeks of mids built in. Each area was able to get what they wanted and worked best for their traffic. But even then, no one was restricted when they can bid leave. Mids will just be covered with OT. I’m sure Whitaker thought this through before imposing these rules on us.

Sups are doing first day mids though.

Is that even legal? Are they going to try and say you can't use Sick Leave during your mids as well? I can't believe a FACREP would agree to that.

They should have everyone bid their leave before their mids in that setup
