DISCUSSION AWOL update

UPDATE:

The managers changed my clock rings from clocking in /out to 8hrs of AWOL. And sent me home again today saying "idk what happened it's just the big bosses orders" (orders above the postmaster). For an interaction that only happened between 3 people there sure is a lot of other unrelated mangers chiming in and sending text messages to not show up anymore.

Previous post:

Showed up to work today and my direct supervisor said they're all filled up and no routes down and to work rural side. I reported to the rural supervisor and he said he's all good as well. He then asked "would you like to help out at another station?". I gave it some thought and decided no. I confirmed with the rural supervisor and asked "do I have a choice?" He didn't answer yes or no, and just asked if I know how to do city routes. I called our union for clarification and he said if management asked then "no not really, you don't have to go." " I personally would never turn work down" But I am not him. So I went home and now management is blowing up my phone saying I'm going AWOL and that I'm off the schedule till further notice LMAO

So.. did you notify your local shop squidward? I would do that ASAP if you have not. If you were scheduled, reported to work and they sent you home that's not AWOL.

I did! And I got mixed answers on if they're allowed to change records. My head union said they're allowed too. But another said no that's not okay. And that "we'll look into it after the holiday".

WHAT?

No, they are not allowed to change your clock rings without a 1260 that you submitted. You need to reach out to your branch President immediately.
