Here in Nebraska it has been so rainey that we have had one full week all year. They decided yesterday to start working sundays. I figured it was coming. The company we are doing the job with is ex union so there guys get double pay on sunday. The truck drivers found about that and are bitching constintly. I think that if we end up working 7 days that week we should get a little more but if we have a rain day during the week just count it as a normal day. Just wondering what you guys think?
If you have negotiated your pay on your own with out union representation you get what you bargained for. You might check to see if there is any state labor laws that apply to the job. If it is a road or other project with state or federal funds, often prevailing wage rules kick in wether it is a union job or not. Are you getting time and 1/2 for other overtime?
Truck drivers complaining is something new? We work everyday time and a half after forty work more get paid more or move on
