He's an incumbent employee. If he drove prior to peak last year, his mandatory paper work was already current.

I work as a helper and every year UPS has me sign a form agreeing to three things: (i) it's for a fixed rate - not my normal hourly rate, (ii) it's extra work - if UPS believes it's interfering with my primary job, it can remove me from helping at any time; (iii) my ability to work as a helper is solely at UPS's discretion if it is to exceed eight hours per day. Guess what? This is just reiterating what the contract states. Some years I haven't been presented with the form until a month after I've been helping, and some years I haven't gotten it at all. UPS presents the form as a formality & for their (to make a hearing easier) and my (to prevent confusion) convenience. It doesn't matter if I receive or sign the form -- simply by working for UPS (and thus being bonded by the CBA), I agree to those restrictions. I'd make a fool out of myself if I were to grieve for my normal hourly rate (instead of $12.88) because I didn't receive/sign the form for a month.
