New Grievance Filed Over Start Time

I filed a new grievance over start times in light of the AFGE Local 801 and Waseca Federal Correctional Institution Arbitration Opinion & Award.

It has been the Union's contention that our workday starts and ends in the locker room. This Arbitration decision combined with the fact that:

The Supreme Court unanimously upheld that you must be PAID for time spent putting on and off your uniform!"Therefore, the time, no matter how minimal, that an employee is required to spend putting on and taking off gear on the employer's premises is compensable "work" under the FLSA."http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/FieldBulletins/AdvisoryMemo2006_2.htm Should greatly increase our chance of success.
