[QUOTE="HandtasticHands, post: 616253, member: 22735"] i'll help you the best i can brother with some of the question you asked. some i know some i dont, but you asked all good questions and sort of complicated. particularly number 1 & 3....... question #1 - just 1st i have to say tho and make clear. you have to understand that even tho you're a cover driver. you have to remember you're still part-time. so you're not guaranteed that particular line of work, but there is exceptions. im sure what you're wanting to know is that because the driver wants to go home, you're willing and available to do that route and management is not allowing it. the short answer, yes. depending on the situation though. theres a lot of variables and it would depend based on whether u were schedule to cover drive that day, or schedule to work in the hub. if u were schedule to work inside the hub then sorry theres nothing really we can do (unless the route was sitting - no one to cover the route).But now if you were schedule to cover and they found out they have extra drivers, and everything u asked in question #1 takes place. now we have a legitimate case and is grievable. which is really a no brainer as to why. question #2 - i cant answer because i dont know what local/region you're from. but i never heard anything like that that you're "guaranteed" that amount of hours. i can break it down rather easily tho. again once u schedule to work inside the hub you go back to the guarantees of a part-timer. because after all you have to remember you're part time...but dont take my word for it. do a little investigation ask around. particularly a shop steward you trust and feel comfortable or call up your Business Agent. thats what you pay him for. when u find out brother. please post here if you would on what you discovered/they tell you. question #3 - great question, and i dont know. if i were in your local i would be very discontent if i were in ur shoes. because it would be pretty hard for me to swallow what excuse they have for not opening more full time opportunities for our brothers and sisters.not to say that they didnt. honestly i just dont know.thats another question and a greater question in my opinion. you should ask your Business Agent about. question #4 - is the easiest one to answer and not complicated at all. for one, Saturday driving is opened up for cover drivers and its part of a package deal (requirement) you get when you become one. some like it some dont for different reasons. ultimately again, your classification status is that you're a part-time employee. so you'll go as far (bump anyone) as your seniority allows you. presumably im sure Saturday air driving is made up by majority part-time air drivers and/or cover drivers. thats work you do have rights to based on seniority...and one little quick note. your seniority will be based on the 1st day you started driving, not your hired date. hopes that helps brother. did the best i could with the information given.
