they laid-off about 15 drivers between 3 centers 2 weeks ago and then called them in that morning begging them to come in. this past week they needed more drivers than they had.
Edison?
I work in a building with 30 fdr drivers. 3 weeks ago, we heard and talked about the upcoming feeder run cuts.. This week management put up 2 new feeder jobs and no feeder cuts or layoffs...Layoffs!!! Not here, I dont think so....
Our head shop steward told me that we should expect a 10-15% runs cut in the next couple months and that was a conservative estimate.
also the restructuring of the districts nationwide will mean 5000-7000 management reduction.

More like 500 -700.
Hope he/she knows the contract better than the number of redundant management positions in 12 districts and 1 region.
Agree with that!
Redundant is a polite way of putting it. The only thing that sucks; good people are in a bad position.
Yessir. A couple of those are coveted routes, no? It's January, so the retirees will open up a few slots.
I probably shouldn't have put my name up, and waited for the triple bump for the next wave of openings, but I put my name up. Also rumour is that those drivers who do go as covers will be bumped down to part-time if they don't have seniority to bump the other covers, until at least May-June when vacations kick in.
Side note - you have to love the "extension of annual bid" purpose, keep the PT's out (sarcasm)
IIf you are PT or a 22.3 FT employee I would wait until you have enough juice to bid a route. You may make less per hour in your current job but probably more per week.

Where are you located?cant. pt senority does not count towards bidding in the ft classification. im not sure you could make less money; if you are laid off; bump inside right?
