[QUOTE="soberups, post: 635182, member: 14668"] The seniority drivers who are used as helpers or bike riders will be paid full driver wage as if they were driving a package car. The only cost savings that can be realized is by not renting a vehicle....the labor costs will be the same. None of the drivers who are being planned out as bike riders have bid routes. Being assigned to a bike route vs. a pkg car route will be based upon seniority, which is how unassigned drivers are currently dispatched anyway. Nothing will be any different except for the vehicle they will be assigned to operate. No off-the-street helpers can be used unless all seniority drivers are working, so we arent looking at any layoff issues. We have a couple of drivers who say they are actually looking forward to being on the bikes; with the current, brutal level of Telematics-inspired production harassment and micromanagement that is now commonplace, being assigned to a bicycle will actually be a relief from the stress. There will be no Telematics to deal with and no way the company will ever be able to hold a driver accountable for any level of production if he is stuck pedalling a bike around. Of course, that stress relief will come at a price on the days when we get an inch or more of nonstop pouring rain. [/QUOTE]
