[QUOTE="FlipOldman, post: 3480284, member: 72220"] UnconTROLLed, I'm not so sure about that one. Article 40 section 1 clearly says air drivers pick up, deliver, and shuttle AIR packages. Then in section 1(a) (7) it says: "Air drivers may, on an exception basis, be used to make service on packages which are not air packages. An exception package is intended to be when an Air Driver is making a pick up, as outlined above, after the regular driver has been at the customer's premises, and the customer has an exception ground package(s) for shipment, the air driver may make service on this package(s). Air drivers may continue to pick up ARS packages but the features of this service will not be expanded" It goes on to say any violation of that section will result in the air driver receiving ground pay. It's not an "exception" if it's an every day thing where the owner of the UPS Store wants the air driver to pick up all the grounds he has. It's pretty clear here that air drivers aren't supposed to pick up grounds at UPS Store unless there's some kind of special exception. I do wish the next contract would be more precise on this to avoid misinterpretations though. They should either give an exact number like say no more than 5, or just say any time an air driver touches a ground package they get ground pay, or just have equal pay for all drivers who have reached a certain seniority level. None of this air drivers doing ground work for air pay crap anymore. [/QUOTE]
