[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 354589, member: 14176"] Are you sure you work for UPS? I've not heard of a classification of "temporary cover driver". There are seasonal drivers in the central region were I work. Seasonals can be chosen from the part time ranks by seniority but cannot bounce back and forth from full time to part time whenever management deems it necessary. Most are hired off street and are gone after Labor Day. These are the drivers used to cover vacations. Is this a prevision in your supplement? Can somebody tell me what I'm missing here? I find it hard to believe that the union has given UPS this kind of flexibility in any region. It is in sharp contrast to any language in the National Master. If this was available in my building they would never hire another full time driver. The onus is on management to maintain an adequate work force and deputizing part timers is a blatant contractual violation in my local. It sounds to me that you are qualified to be an exception are driver. Maybe a 22/3, or you should be. I do realize that there will be positions similar to this to cover option days starting next year due to the new contract. This new language does not give these new cover drivers the ability to do anything but cover optional holidays. Not overflow bulk, misloads, shags(what is that anyway? misloads?), etc., although I'm sure management will abuse these new provisions. Secondly do you mean 30 day "qualifying" period instead to "progression"? The term progression is measured in months and years to my knowledge and refers to wages. I believe if I was the steward in your building I could double my take home pay. [/QUOTE]
