Ok my supervisor called me this am ! I am not picking up bulk stops Ups store etc. I am only doing drop box pick ups . I guess filing a grievance for picking up ground at letter boxes is out of the question to save my job ?

I know I am confused as to way they have air drivers picking up drop boxes? These positions have been around for years at this center

They are bid that way but air language supersedes other language.
IMO- do not grieve ground left at letter boxes. Contractually you are allowed to pick it up and would probably lose.

Picking up ground at a drop box just goes with the job.

Ask how they are being paid. If they are 22.3, they should go through a progression to a top rate for inside work. Under Art 40, the inside work is based on PT start date with no progression to top rate.

I think he said he was a part-timer who went ft with this combo job. He's going thru a ft progression for the inside work.

Interesting. Could you file for top inside pay if its bid as article 22.3?

No I think he just gets paid his inside rate which is the problem. He's making a lot less per hour when not driving.

I have seen drop boxes with 2 different pickup times listed, for ground & air (later).
Air drivers picking those up leave the ground for the package car driver the next day.

I'm all for being s stickler for the contract. I think more drivers should demand union help for overweights and such but this really seems unreasonable to me.

I read these as starting a progression for the air driving, and no progression for the inside work. VVV

It would probably just be resolved as a clarification of the bid/pay rate, although I suppose they could re-bid it.
I imagine the problem is the bidding is done by HR, who generally is pretty far removed from knowledge of the contract.

Boy ain't that the truth. HR almost terminated me once over a contract misunderstanding.

We used to have a lot of these air driver combo jobs at one of our hubs, and it was the "entry level" combo job. It got you FT seniority, which got you farther ahead in line to bid for the higher paying inside/inside 22.3 jobs.

Yeah I have been with Ups 5 years . Started part time as preloader . Then started doing Saturday air . Then the full time driver got sick (had a stroke) I did his route for 1and 1/2. He retired and I won the bid in July . My inside rate follows my hire date. I hope that makes sense!

By the way: as a 22.3 air driver/inside combo, you are guaranteed 3 hours of air driving, no matter how many hours inside worked. I would file for top driver rate 22.2 rate if UPS forced me inside 8 hours, with an article 40 FT air/inside job.
