[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 306518, member: 198"] Just to make things clear....in some of the posts when someone says "cover driver" they are actually talking about "TCDs" or "Temporary Cover Driver." They are the part-timers that cover for excess vacations and call ins. The problem is that UPS started using them to as supplemental drivers and many were/are working full-time hours. A good steward and management team can have more full-time drivers added if that is going on. It happened in my area. Many of us (not just in my center but the district as a whole) were racking up 40+ hour work weeks as TCDs so allot of us have have slowly but surely been upgraded to full-time over the past 3 years. UPS will continue to use them as supplemental drivers until someone, mainly the stewards, steps up and presses the issue for more full-timers to be added. It's quite simple really...if you have part-timers averaging over 40 hours a week throughout the year then they probably should be full-time. It would seem that UPS "wants their cake and wants to eat it too." [/QUOTE]
