Boyd says:
"The Trip Rates will NOT -- and I repeat, NOT -- include overtime rates. Overtime will continue to apply in the same manner it always has been applied. All post-85 employees will be paid for overtime on the same basis as overtime is paid pre-85 employees."
Just what is he talking about here??? Overtime has always be attached to the basic day and overmiles. Today the basic day is 130 miles in through freight service. It got to 130 miles based upon the VanWart report.
If trip rates are placed into effect just how will overtime be figured?? Will it be based upon a new basic day such as 160 miles as the VanWart report recomends? Will it remain at 130 miles or will it remain a open ended item for change in the future?
I certianly doubt it will be after 8 hours.
Remember the 1985 National Agreement was suppose to have buried the VanWart recommmendations but it seem to be alive and well. What eliminates it if the trip rate system is placed into effect??
If you know let me know.
