We are having some issues with Covid pay for 12 hour shift workers at Hope Creek. The Company feels they can revert them to 8 hours per day, either Misc/pay or sick time. The agreement says they can revert to 8 hours for pay purposes. This happens normally when someone goes out longer term. The problem we are encountering is a mid-week return to work; the Company believes they can work them for 8 hours each day because that's how they were paid Monday. 12 hour shift personnel have no 8 hour shift, period. PSEG Power was nice enough to remove any and all monies for FR Clothing for our new Lab Technicians. I am working on getting the monies put back in their account. As is everywhere in the Company, Nuclear has dropped numbers of the workforce. From April 2016 to present, our membership at the Island has dropped 61 total IBEW positions. Lastly, Scott testified in favor of the ZEC subsidies. The Company is saying if they don't get all that they got in 2019, they may have to close the Nuclear Stations.
