my hub seems to be phasing them out. HR said to our covers that they can go 22.4 or go back to the hub... they don’t seem to be hiring any new covers for whatever reason ?

Covers won't work as much as they used to mainly because of the new 156 reports language.
But they will still need cover drivers to cover vacations, disability, work comp and all that. They also have rights to Monday work before 22.4s

UPS needs to phase out part time drivers across the board. It will be silly not too once 22.4 positions are filled. The combination of regular drivers, 22.3s delivering air, and 22.4s will negate the need for part time drivers.

Who will cover when RPCDs and 22.4s are out?
Cut routes.

It was horrible. UPS reset the pay structure with 22.4s. That’s what it was all about. Not having an entire workforce of $40+ an hour drivers in 2-3 years. The least the Teamsters could have done was got us something major back in return, instead they allow the 22.4s in exchange for nothing.
Don't forget that 22.4s were "our" idea. Denis T can suck it.

Teamster leadership aren’t the sharpest knives around and they are not there for YOUR benefit. Strikes 1 and 2.

Lazy workforce that doesn’t vote - strike 3.

You cant when 60% of the workforce doesn’t vote. Me and you can’t do it alone. If these arsehats get re-elected again we are all doomedR
Remember this next year and vote every singleout of the IBT
I'm praying to God I don't have to be at this place for another contract.
They didn't win the election last time by that much.
Hopefully a bunch of over worked 22.4 drivers will learn how to vote.

We have never had part time covers here.
The only people who drive part time are air drivers.
22.4s and RPCD can be filled in for by full time cover or cut drivers...whatever you want to call them.
So someone please enlighten me...
Does the new contract allow them to replace existing full time RPCD who do not have an assigned route with 22.4s?
In other words when a full time RPCD who does not have his own route (full time vacation/cover/cut driver) signs a bid route or retires, can they replace him with a 22.4?
We have permanent bid routes and no part time covers.

Every center has an agreed amount of RPCD drivers. That number can not be lowered.
But the company can have 25% of the drivers be 22.4 drivers. So basically it's another give back with a 10 years progression for the new drivers.
Best contract ever.

No. In The Southern we can bump back inside if we don’t have a seat in package. I’ve only had to do that twice and that was during my first two weeks as a full timer.
