[QUOTE="Backlasher, post: 917835, member: 6276"] If the guy is not sitting in a jumper seat then he/she is at minimum, a seasonal driver which is intitled to a higher pay rate. A helper by definition is helping a driver, not just helping UPS. Not trying to make an arguement here but it is what it is. I don't care what kind of transportation it is. If they are not helping a driver then they are not a driver helper. If they are walking then maybe, as in I give a helper 10 stops to walk off a block or 2 while I run some pickups, which I wouldn't do. If they are driven at all then they are a seasonal driver which is $16.10 hrly. They tried having me drive my own truck and take whole buildlings and deliver under helper pay. I laughed and asked who's gonna come take my truck back cause you don't want to use me as a driver with driver pay. I said no to pay cut and go find a jumper for that pay. They suffered for a few days but gave in. It doesn't get more clearer then this. A helper running a mall on foot maybe thats a helper but anything else is not. Go cart. come on, dude is driven still and same liabilities about safety and still covering a good area. Is that not a vehicle. We need to push hardr this next contract or we will loose more drivers. A helper runs a mall, maybe a building, or sitting in a jumper seat. Anything else is a driver to me. anything else being excepted by us union is just causeing us part time drivers to get screwed out of our rightfully earned pay and just allows UPS to take for granted our area knowledge. They tried screwing me alot this peak and I was driven a UPS truck or rental. I didn't put up with it and they were mad when I stood my ground but it just ain't wright. All the stuff we let slide by just to keep stops off us only hurts us in the long run. We have alot to think about next contract other then our pay. [/QUOTE]
