Sanchez and Anderson discuss staggering sanitation worker schedules for Sunday coverage
Sanchez asks about staggering worker schedules to cover Sundays. Anderson explains workers already stagger across six days but making Sunday a regular workday would require labor negotiations with the Teamsters in the next round.
Has there been no discussion on just staggering workers'work weeks?
Like some people work Tuesday through Sunday.
Some people work Monday through Friday.
Yeah, so that's the practice for covering the six-day, because each individual works five days over the course of a six-day period.
So, you know, we do stagger the shifts.
I think a conversation about having Sunday be a scheduled workday would have to be something that we would bring up as part of labor negotiations with the Teamsters in the next round of negotiations, which we expect will begin in the next year or so.
Okay.
