Maybe coerced would be a better word.


I don't buy the whole premise.


Now the company is telling the PT air drivers they are all on call to deliver ground packages up to 14 hours a day.


Using air drivers to deliver ground is acceptable in lieu of supes working.

But not everyday or on a regular basis.


So they consider anyone with a DOT a ground driver at their disposal pretty much?

This has been a problem at your center for YEARS now.

So no part timers want to drive?

Are they even putting driver jobs up for bid?

Are they trying to hire off the street?


They need to file a grievance....

Started off by just using a couple air drivers riding along with a sup because of call ins or high volume. Now it is an everyday thing 10 to 12 hours a day. Union knows all about it but just as long as a FT driver is not involuntarily (lots of volunteers) laid off, they are okay with it. Union stewards complain about using PT drivers until they have an 8 hour request and an air driver has to come pull stops. Then you are their best friend.

They are letting FT drivers take dead days and still use PT air drivers ?

They are only to be used in "emergency situations" for ground.

Absolutely. Drivers only complain about PT air drivers delivering ground until their 8 hour or day off is denied. Then they want to know why an air driver can't do their work. Or at least their undesirable work. Over weights, over size, apts., any stop that they can not bonus on.
