[QUOTE="hondo, post: 1978161, member: 8661"] Sounds like you're under Local 710 jurisdiction. Generally speaking, yes, you can expect some lean times at the bottom of the on-call board. Talk to your fellow 710 drivers, especially the low seniority ones. Figure out the system, the angles you can work. For example, if there are a bunch of Mon-Thurs bids on the regular board, I would guess you're more likely to work on Fri-Sat. If you are willing to work out of another building nearby, make sure management knows that. If the vacation bids are posted, look at those and do some math. If there are are 30 drivers scheduled off and you are #25 on the on-call board, expect to work; if you're #40, it doesn't look good. As far as the contractors, read what the 710 union contract says about it. I know what I've heard, but haven't read it myself so I'm not going to comment. Make sure you understand how and if your benefits are covered. Talk to the union stewards/business agent. Hopefully there is an arrangement to maintain coverage. [/QUOTE]
