[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 642101, member: 14176"] Danny I think you are missing the point. The company already had the freedom to hire seasonal full time drivers for the holidays from November till Jan.1 in most areas. These drivers have no seniority rights and are kicked to the curb come New Years. The practice of using helpers is to close the gap in the limits of the company's infrastructure. We only have X# of vehicles, package cars that is. Rentals are far less efficient, as are the seasonal drivers. Put a helper on the car with an experienced driver and they have proven to show a significant increase in production. Any helpers utilized away from the car, to me, is no different than a seasonal driver. It has been long practiced to drop a helper at a high rise apt, etc, while the driver does some surrounding areas. Anything that keeps the truck moving. I hate the new contract and feel we have taken some significant steps backwards, but this issue isn't one of them. [/QUOTE]
