CCTA wants to extend the Spread-time hours from 12 1/2 hours to 13 1/2 with forcing up to a total of 15 spread-time hours. With the forced overtime combined with the CCTA's proposal to add the extra hour on the 12 1/2 creates fatigue.
It was quite clear during negotiations that Bill Watterson left when he had plans. Ending the negotiation meeting after 3 hours but expects drivers to be available up to 15 hours a day.
The company explains the extra hour would allow CCTA to make better schedules, less short of 40 hours work-weeks and will decrease the forcing. In the past, the drivers heard that same story and are still seeing the forcing, short of 40, after agreeing to give up things.
