Helpers bumping FT drivers

[Bubblehead]

What are you people thinking? There should be NO temps working if you have drivers laid off. Call your BA, and then call the local direct. That is unacceptable.

Why is there any doubt in your minds?

Exactly!!!

Absolutely, every driver must be working before any helpers can be used. If they want a driver to be a helper he gets regular driver pay and is guaranteed 8hrs. Grievances can be filed anytime of the year. The only exceptions are 9.5 grievances which cannot be filed during November and December. In the Central I believe its article 11 section 5.

When the driver works as a helper is he paid his regular wage or helper wages?

Driver wage of course we ain't no sissy local.

They don't lay off in our center because there is always enough drivers wanting the day off. Could be a problem later down the road.

last year around oct we had 5-6 drivers layed off and in nov when things started to pick up all of them were back being jumpers or helpers out at the malls. im not big fan of grievances either, i filed one 3 years ago over a missing check and got 3 grand in penalty pay and their still holding a grudge about it.

If the company owed me $3K I could care less about them holding a grudge as long as I can hold a copy of the settlement check. They will get over it.

Blatant lack of integrity. No drivers laid off if helpers are used. period Fire the center manager for a week or so.

Do you really think that this decision was made by the center manager? I would bet that he has been directed to do so by the DM.
