[QUOTE="ms., post: 54760"] Did anyone notice this press release? Ground packages (ARS, RS) left at letter boxes. What happened to air drivers not touching ground? Are letter boxes serviced by regular routes now? Seems to me they are phasing out air drivers- at least in our bldg. We don't have enough trucks for part time routes. They would shove 6/7/8 hrs. of work into a truck and call it 4 hrs. Meanwhile, driver #2 would be waiting at the bldg for his truck to get back. 1timepu Go ahead and count your overtime. The new overtime exemptions do not apply to "Blue collar workers" Blue-Collar Workers The exemptions provided by FLSA Section 13(a)(1) do not apply to manual laborers or other blue-collar workers who perform work involving repetitive operations with their hands, physical skill and energy. Such nonexempt blue-collar employees gain the skills and knowledge required for performance of their routine manual and physical work through apprenticeships and on-the-job training. FLSA-covered, non-management employees in production, maintenance, construction and similar occupations such as carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, iron workers, craftsmen, operating engineers, longshoremen, construction workers and laborers are entitled to minimum wage and overtime premium pay under the FLSA, and are not exempt under Section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA nor the regulations at 29 CFR Part 541, no matter how highly paid they might be.
