[QUOTE="scratch, post: 306314, member: 1674"] trplnkl is the first to finally get this right. It used to be, a FT "Unassigned" or Swingdriver covered drivers out on vacation, injuries, and a certain number of routes. The "Cover Driver" is a PT position created around the early 90s. Originally a PT like a Preloader would be trained to run three routes to cover vacations and injured drivers. UPS saves money by paying a lesser rate of pay and not putting money into a full timer's pension fund. At the time of the '97 Strike. I was actually wondering if the FT drivers were slowly being replaced by PT Coverdrivers, we were getting so many. It has never seemed fair to me that a person is working 45-50 hours a week doing the exact same job as me and getting paid less. I bid straight out of the Hub into a Bid Route and have been on one since 1984. To me, this is another example of how bad language in the contract is abused. [/QUOTE]
