[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 642189, member: 484"] Bubble I did not miss the point. I understand all that. What you failed to do was read my post, or it could be I did not post it clearly enough. The contract before this one. It was very plain. A helper was to help a driver during his day. THat is why they called them driver helpers. Yes, he could drop the helper off with a two wheeler full of deliveries, and pick him up down the road. They had CONTACT during the day. This was filed on and upheld at the panel, they could not just dump packages out on road somewhere, and let helpers deliver them. And as a result, drivers were held responsible for the deliveries up to a point. In the new contract, there is nothing that says UPS cant dump a bunch of work out for "helpers" to deliver, and the helpers would never have contact with the driver. Or the driver with the packages the helper delivers. I did not say it was bad, good, or both. All I said was that I was wrong in stating that the language is in the contract, because it no longer is. Jon, unless there is language pinning UPS down, they pretty much have a carte blanc doing it their way. I just found it very interesting how the teamsters would allow things like this to just "disappear" from the contract. Waiting for the time too that helpers will be year around, and who knows what they will deliver, and who takes it to them. Things are changing, and the teamsters seem to be leading the pack for change...... Wonder why? d [/QUOTE]
