8 hr guarantee violation?

[PT Car Washer]

Which is ridiculous.
Unskilled PT labor making 30 plus bucks an hour.

Imagine if PT wages were kept under control....FT wages would be so much higher

And it takes skill to clean toilets and empty trash cans for $35/hr?

I’m a 20 year upser. Been a pkg driver for 16 years. Started doing back up feeder. Did a night run and after my 10 hour reset I told mgt I want my 8 hr guarantee. Obviously could not do my route so I said give me whatever work you got I’ll sweep the parking lot I don’t care. Got denied. Called the president of my local and he flip flopped. Are we not guaranteed 8 hr a day Monday through Friday. Work day work week language. I’m just blown away right now.

Please explain yourself more concisely.
We need times. Your guarantee is going to come from the pkg side. If you work a feeder night. for example get done at 10 AM tuesday morning. YOu need to show up wednesday morning at pkg driver start time. Then on wednesday, starting at pkg driver start time, you get your next full day of work. Back up feeder drivers sometimes lose a day of work in the transition from nights to days. If that is a problem and you require your 5 days a week then you need to resign your backup feeder position.

However, YMMV, due to different regional contract language.

You need more important things to worry about

Dude came here and asked a question. I gave him the answer. This is how it works in my local.

Do you understand that? Maybe I'll say it slower so someone with your abilities can understand.

Some guy is having a problem. He posted a message on Browncafe. He has a question. He is not sure if he is right or management is right. I know how this works procedurally in my local. I let him know how it works in my local. Because we have different contracts it might be different in his local.

So what is the point of your one liner posts? They are complete wastes of time.

Dude ignore him. He's a retired teamster that just comes on here because he has absolutely no life now that he is retired. I mean seriously look at his screen name. What retired driver uses a name like that... one that can't move on that's who.

So in short he is a TROLL. Go enjoy your weekend.

Nope.... those are minimum wage jobs.
Anything other than FT Package or Feeder should be paid minimum wage.
That way FT Package and Feeder could be paid more.

PT workers are ruining the Union.
Worst thing ever was allowing PT Union Jobs at UPS.

With republican right to work legislature, PT Union jobs are becoming more scarce every year. Along with FT Union driving jobs.

Good
I hope Unions disappear before I die.
Unions have no place in today's economy

I doubt if Unions totally disappear. They are just becoming more irrelevant every year. I disagree that this is a good thing. Otherwise this country will eventually consist only of Lords and peasants.

And guys that think washing package cars is worth 30 bucks an hour

Hahah thanks man it really was just a question and people spiral out of control. I appreciate your response

 

[llamainmypocket]

I'm pretty sure the language states, if arrived at scheduled time. No need to get hung up on it. Seems pretty fair language to me.

 

[Coldworld]

Surprised the center wasn’t begging you to come in and do whatever... don’t know how many times my route sat in the building before they realized I wasn’t coming in because I had no hours from working the night before... happen more than a few times. Does seniority play into the OP situation.... if there was an extra route run where a lower seniority driver worked could he grieve for that since he was forced to run the feeder job??? That’s the problem with being a backup, you have one leg in both the pkg and feeder operations.... even though technically feeder owns you...
