WE’RE WORKING ON IT: Standby Pay

GSU staff representatives Donna Driediger spoke with members who have been expected to be ready to load cars if a train shows up on the weekend, but are not being compensated with standby pay.

Donna advised members if the expectation is that they are to be ready for work, members should be putting in for standby pay for the time they are expected to be available and ready for work.

If you are not sure if or when you should be putting in for standby pay, contact your GSU staff rep. Contact information for GSU staff reps is available here.
