[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 401660, member: 4653"] Hey Scratch, I remember you mentioning last year that you got a helper in October. Doesn't the contract state the driver helpers will only be used from Thanksgiving until the week after December 25? If I remember correctly the union was touting this as a contract success when the news broke of the new agreement? The company wanted helpers 365 days/year and the union is against this obviously. I was going to call you a liar Scratch:wink2: until it dawned on me while I was writting this thread that I read the helper statement in the New England supplemental agreement. It must read differently in Atlanta and I'm assuming helpers can't be used before October 1st? Is this correct? Does your stop density warrant it? Is management continually seeking better results because of the helper? I would be OK with a helper in October as long as management didn't expect December production. I would almost welcome the October helper because it would mean less entering and exiting of the vehicle for me. I'm thinking an extra 5-7 stops/hour starting Oct. 1st and then let that number increase once the stop count starts increasing in the SAME AREA. I think I could do an extra 3-5 stops without ever leaving the package car by just letting the runner deliver. Add in some density so I can run off a few, and we can achieve the 7 more stops, but this doesn't become effective untill at least mid-November where I'm from. So Scratch, what does the contract state down there in GA? [/QUOTE]
