When is this 6 day weeks going to stop? Honestly what’s it going to take to force them to hire 22.4
We have drivers quitting left and right because they can’t handle 6 days every week. We can’t keep drivers.Take that money before everything gets shut down
It's hard you at the bottom of the seniority listWe have drivers quitting left and right because they can’t handle 6 days every week. We can’t keep drivers.

Not for the duration of this contract. Gonna have to fight over this hard with these upcoming negotiations.When is this 6 day weeks going to stop? Honestly what’s it going to take to force them to hire 22.4
Force them to hire 22.4? I got news for you the new Teamster president wants to eliminate the 22.4 position in the next contract.When is this 6 day weeks going to stop? Honestly what’s it going to take to force them to hire 22.4
O’Brien wants the 22.4 position eliminated, this will get interesting.It's all apart of the plan. Company will say we need a bigger percentage of 22.4s because they don't have enough to cover Saturdays.
There's a simple solution for that.It's all apart of the plan. Company will say we need a bigger percentage of 22.4s because they don't have enough to cover Saturdays.
If they’d run less routes on Saturday they’d have more work for Monday, they must be losing money on Saturdays and Mondays. We have routes going out on Mondays with 4-6 hours of work yet the guys are working 8-9 hours because of the pickup commitments they have. That afternoon dead time they have could be used to deliver the packages that were delivered Saturday.There's a simple solution for that.
Quit pushing Monday's work back to Saturday
Or we could deliver a little more sure post on Mondays and Saturdays to balance the work load out a little bit.If they’d run less routes on Saturday they’d have more work for Monday, they must be losing money on Saturdays and Mondays.

Good point, on Mondays my surepost for the post office are always heavier than Tuesday- Friday.Or we could deliver a little more sure post on Mondays and Saturdays to balance the work load out a little bit.
Well you know common Sense does not apply at this place.Good point, on Mondays my surepost for the post office are always heavier than Tuesday- Friday.
Advancing volume has to be addressed in the next contract. It is the main reason for forced 6th punch most places. It was a dereliction of duty for the negotiators of the last contract not too address this and to allow this to happen. Really very little point in hours reduction, and 9.5 language for RPCDs when the company feels they can force them a sixth day because we haven’t negotiated how they manipulate volume, including surepost.There's a simple solution for that.

Absolutely. Anyone who’s worked here six months realizes you cannot leave the door that wide open. Even management people asked me what were these people thinking, it’s like the Wild West.They left a lot of language out in this current contract
We have some bargaining power the last contract especially when the company was willing to go back to this negotiating table.Absolutely.
