Being On Call implies that you must answer the phone and you must report to work. Meaning you can be disciplined if you don't.
Being called because there is work available means you can decide not to answer if you choose.
He's being told he has to be read to work everyday because he is On Call and that's not right. Having a choice is the difference.

Log on to upsers.com, click on your name at the top and click My Profile. Then click on Personal Information on the top left, then click Payroll Information. Is your job classification underneath your name on the top left on the Payroll Information page?

Why don’t you just stay on preload and drive on Saturday airs. Keep the insurance and just drive peak season when yard service slows up. In my opinion that’s what sounds best!!

That is what the OP would like to do, but his management team is telling him he has to be a Summer seasonal.

There are zero On Call classifications at UPS.

The way this company is hard up for drivers, they are threatening you now but when peak comes around they'll be begging you to come back out. Tell management you have a commitment to a summer job and that driving during peak is fine. But consult with your local to find out exactly how you are classified and your rights as such.
It's legit. If you are classified as an air driver you should be getting top driver rate for delivering ground.
if you are just preload you would still get the utility driver rate(in the western region) which is 25 an hour or so.
Talk to your Business agent
LOL where does it say that in the contract?

10 hours since you last drove. Sort shifts don't count and had that confirmed by my local.

Your local is mistaken then. All hours worked count.
Its 10 hours off duty. Also read the example after the highlighted part.

The OP could also be forced to work Saturday air as long as the company follows seniority. Working as a Summer seasonal would be voluntary.

Yep.
When the Nov-Jan seasonal period ended.... so did his obligation.
To be required to work the vacation replacement/summer seasonal position,
he would have needed to sign a new bid sheet for that period....
Depending on the supplement and what he signed previously.

I don't know how to post contract pages like @542thruNthru but our rider states "They must make themselves available on a daily basis unless mutually agreed by the company and the union. Failure to be available for utility work may be grounds for being removed from the utility driving list." Our center manager has always gone by the 3 day rule too. I cannot remember where, but I know I have read in the contract about being removed if declining work 3 times in a one month period.

Here ya go. I just screen shot and post.
I saw that in your rider and assumed your local made a agreement. Kind of like attendance.
