[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 917829, member: 18044"] This is from the "Tentative" version of the Atlantic Supplement before it was voted on. ARTICLE 63 – PART-TIME EMPLOYEES Section 4 – Part-Time Package Driver Helpers ". . . [B]Not more than one (1) helper will work from a vehicle with a driver at any one time. The helper must deliver or pickup packages only in conjunction with the drivers they are assigned to while on duty[/B]. . . ." - - - - When one side or the other tries to abuse the agreed-to language by stretching its interpretation to the breaking point and beyond, an arbitrator or the Court is normally called in to examine the notes of the bargaining parties, and to take testimony from the actual negotiators as to their specific understanding of the language at the time they agreed to it. We are not currently privy to those behind-closed-door uderstandings. - - - - A big problem with UPS' creative interpretations of a Helper's permissable work is that many Contract voters, particularly "Yes" voters, probably had no idea that they were voting on stashing quantities of packages in pods and garages, or knew what a TP-60 was, or knew that packages could be delivered by bicycles and golf carts and trailers dropped off at the mall that helpers deliver out of. There's also the issues of public safety, local ordinances, package security, liability, and general inconsistency with normal UPS Policies. [/QUOTE]
