[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1726178, member: 8481"] Depends on your supplement. Some have language for cover drivers. Some don't. The ones that don't, just have FT package drivers on the bottom of the seniority list that frequently get laid off. Being on-call is being laid off for lack of work. You are given the opportunity to call everyday to see if there is work available for you. It may be that way for awhile until you move up the seniority list a little. In some supplements, a cover position is a bid job. If it comes time for lay-offs, a cover driver may not necessarily be the bottom man and may not be laid off. For instance, the Upstate NY supplement has 10% of their bid routes designated as cover routes. You could be a bid cover driver and not be the lowest in seniority. You may not have wanted to bid on a ball breaker city route. While Upstate said that their cover drivers are guaranteed 5 days a week, I did not see him point to any contractual language specifying that. UPS can always lay-off from the bottom up if there is not enough work for everyone. For now, it is just here say. [/QUOTE]
