9.5 Retaliation

[Bubblehead]

We have a guy who recently went on the 9.5 list.

The Company, in it's infinite wisdom, now thinks the remedy is to push this drivers start time back 45 minutes later than the rest of the Center, while giving the next day air packages to an air driver.

I feel that this an obvious case of harassment, along with a contractual violation of Article 40 of the National Master, by manufacturing an artificial "air exception" scenario.
This driver has been delivering this air for 17 years, how can it now be an "exception" because they want to reduce his hours on the front end?

Anybody else seen the Company take this position?

@IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U may have some insight into this. He faced some retaliation when he filed 9.5

Good for him. Hopefully other drivers follow and sign the 9.5 list and they have to hire more air drivers.

Looking at it from a strictly numbers view, the company is trying to increase stops per car. One way of doing so without adding more routes is adding air drivers to areas that bring down the SPOHR. If there's a driver that is costing the company money due to 9.5's, one way to resolve his time on the clock and increasing the stops per car is take the inefficient part if his day out.

we took work off of him because he asked to be relieved of overtime...we get to make the decision on how to do that am I right?

Not if you're giving his work to a part timer.

No. That was a Dick move. But we expect no less. Start me late and guess what time I call off on a Friday. Hope your Browns still fit.

Chicken sh1t move

Am I right?

 

[Jackburton]

We had managers here taking NDA savers off routes to "reduce stop counts on 9.5 employees" and giving them to the air drivers running the 10:30 stuff also. All of this to prevent reporting a ground route driver as working.

Few years ago...it's one of their games

We also won a few grievances over that. It went to the panel and was declared ground work....oops

You are guaranteed 8 and don't want to work over 9.5. You are not guaranteed an early start, air jobs come and go happens every where every day. More than likely after 17 years the area has grown enough that they can justify the air driver now and the 9.5 grievance was the push that was needed to make it happen.

Guess you need to rebid some routes then

"Air jobs" come and go by necessity, they aren't intended to be manufactured by managers trying to circumvent the intent of the 9.5 language.

ARTICLE 40 - National Master

Section 1 - Air Drivers
(a) Air driver work shall consist of delivery and pickup of air packages which, because of time and customer commitments, cannot be reasonably performed by regular package drivers. Such work may include:

(1) Delivery of air packages which the regular delivery drivers cannot
deliver within guaranteed time commitments.

Wish I could give you more than one winner

It's a sour grape, dick move, by a manager who is really a facilitator.

We don't even have air drivers in our center. Are these part timers or full time?

Part time.

That's what I figured. We had them years ago but they did away with them.
