Wrong, this is for drivers who are qualified to drive, Art 49 section 7 Southern Supplement
(A) Seniority Part-time employees may work as coverage drivers. They may cover vacations in excess of those filled by full-time vacation coverage drivers and may fill absences in excess of those covered by full-time non-bid drivers. All TCD(s) will be offered package car driver (PCD) work prior to using seasonal package drivers. Additionally, during the peak season period, when a PCD(s) is absent, said route(s) will not be abolished and helper(s) utilization increased to avoid using a TCD(s) to cover said absence(s). No coverage drivers may be used if full-time employees are on layoff. Part-time coverage drivers may not be used to supplement the work force, only as temporary replacements.
And for inside employees who want to driver help, Art 46 section 2
SECTION 2 - SEASONAL EMPLOYEES
No seasonal employee shall be hired prior to October l5th of each calendar year.
Any employee hired after October 15th thru January 15th of each calendar year shall not accrue days towards seniority.
Seasonal employees, when hired, shall be notified they are seasonal by signing a seasonal-employee notice.
Prior to peak season, the opportunity to perform driver helper work during peak season will be offered to seniority part-time employees, providing that this driver helper work will not interfere with their regularly scheduled duties. This will be done by posting an interest list by the second (2nd) Monday in September for seniority employees to sign signifying their intent to be available for driver helper work for the duration of peak season. After the above process, the Employer may hire employees to perform this work.
For those wondering if they are seasonal or hired on permanently, please see the bold text above for your answer.
