[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 503224, member: 18471"] We have about 40 feeder drivers laid off in north NJ. (Parsippany) Here we have the option on "displacing" or bumping other feeder drivers in the local. (Either Meadowlands or Edison). It goes by the senior driver who wishes to displace bumps the most junior, and you go up one list and down the other. You can't choose where you want to go, it just depends on where the junior driver is. About 10 or 11 drivers are in the meadowlands and the displaced drivers are in the hub. The drivers who choose not to displace can work 2 sorts in the hub or take a layoff. Contrary to Ohio we choose week to week. So this week we could choose a layoff, (sorta like our own rlo), next week to displace, (if we have enough seniority), the following week, work in the hub. These are all drivers hired off the street, most of us older and haven't worked in the hub. You continue to get whatever your driver rate is when working in the hub. Some guys are still in progression. Some of the more senior drivers went through the same thing a few years ago, spending 5 or 6 months in the hub for a couple of years till volume picked back up. Hopefully the economy will get moving again soon and volume will pick back up. [/QUOTE]
