Need Some Advice on How to Handle this situation ~~Angeleyez~~

Hi all. I have a situation going on here that I just don't know how to handle anymore. Ok, here goes: The 3rd shift person is supposed to come in 10 min early everyday to be briefed on what is going on that day and get all the information from me. After I brief her, I am supposed to hand over my workstation to her and then wait until my designated time to leave an go home. Well at least 4 out of the 5 days we work, she comes in anywhere from 5-10 min late. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but we don't get paid overtime unless it's in 15 min. incriments. So I'm working anywhere from 30-40 extra minutes a week without pay. Anyway, I have spoken to the supervisor about this numerous times and everytime he says something to her, she will be on time for about a week and go back to her old ways.

Here's where the problem comes in. Right before Christmas, I was working EXTREMELY sick. I had the flu and had NO voice whatsoever. I was whispering literally. This might not seem like a big deal, but I'm a 911 operator. Could you imagine calling in with an emergency and you can barely hear the person who answered. Anyway, that just happened to be the one day that she came in 9 minutes early!! So I got all my things together and was going to leave when she got an attitude and blocked the door claiming that I was not able to leave because she wasn't "ready" to work yet and she still had 9 min to go. Yes, she technically was right, but I was sick and ill. Needless to say, I said some very non-G rated things and ended up suspended for 3 days and had to apologize to her. Well now she's going back to her old "late" self again, and I don't know what to do about it. I'm really tired of talking to the supervisors because all they do is tell her "Don't do it again." I've already taken this as high as I can (THe Chief of Police). I have all the days documented and yet they don't do anything to her. Do you guys have any suggestions, other than finding another job? Thanks a bunch.
