[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 907702, member: 18044"] Danny, I assume it was suggested to the Original Poster that he use his own vehicle. But that it hasn't happened yet. So that's why I say take it to the Union first, since it's just a theoretical issue at this point. If the driver ordered the OP to use his personal vehicle, then that would create a immediate issue and Management would have to be informed. Everyone in the Bargaining Unit is covered by the Union Contract, not just Union members. Bargaining Unit [U]work[/U] is covered no matter who does it. Only Bargaining Unit Members, (which includes Union and non-Union workers,) may properly do Bargaining Unit work. I'm still thinking the driver is joking about this, but using your own vehicle [U]is[/U] [U]not[/U] [U]exactly[/U] [U]unheard[/U] [U]of[/U] by UPS or the Teamsters: ARTICLE 40. AIR OPERATION Section 1 - Air Drivers (i) Personal Vehicles "Air Exception drivers will use the Employer’s vehicles whenever possible. Air Exception drivers who would happen to use their personal automobiles shall be reimbursed at the IRS limit applicable per mile for all miles driven to perform the air driving work in addition to their air driver wages. When an employee uses his/her own vehicle in the service of the Employer and is involved in an accident, the Employer shall be responsible for the damages to both the employee’s vehicle and to the other person’s vehicle and/or property, and will provide liability insurance coverage."
