Not for the duration of this contract. Gonna have to fight over this hard with these upcoming negotiations.

 

[nWo]

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.

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.

O’Brien wants the 22.4 position eliminated, this will get interesting.

There's a simple solution for that.
Quit pushing Monday's work back to Saturday

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.

Or we could deliver a little more sure post on Mondays and Saturdays to balance the work load out a little bit.

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.

They left a lot of language out in this current contract

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.

We have some bargaining power the last contract especially when the company was willing to go back to this negotiating table.

But oh no, let's impose the contract.

I hope that fat bastard Burns in hell.
