Subject: Array uniq

I am having some troubles with the uniq method for arrays. This is a
typical example of my data set, which I want to remove the duplicates
from.

Its clear to see the set of data above has 4 identical values and should
therefore only have remaining after applying array.uniq to this array.
It has become obvious this doesn't work and uniq doesn't remove any
duplicates it just pushes the data out as it finds it full of
dupelictes. Is this a problem with the data set? This is my code:

value= timeDone.to_s
dateCheck.push value.gsub(/\s/, '')[0..7] + value[26..30]
      date = dateCheck.uniq
      @alerts.push(date)

Many thanks
