[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 860532, member: 6408"] Art 26 in the National Master Agreement: "Merchandise that has been tendered by United Parcel Service to the railroad and moved by T.O.friend.C. will not subsequently be moved by the railroad, on the ground, to its final destination. Any exception to the above language will be in cases of an emergency or cases where the railroad must ground the merchandise early to meet the company's service committment. In those cases, every effort will be made to use UPS employees." I have won grievances on this very language before. But, questions must be answered. Was/Is this a true emergency? You know how the company likes to tag on "Emergency" anytime they seem to drop the ball. Are ALL your drivers working? Some sitting home? Are some able to make a relay meet with some of these trailers? Are some able to make a laydown with some of these? Remember, if you feel there is a contract violation, it is up to YOU or your agent, the steward or BA, to prove there has been. You and your steward have every right to track these shipments and the company must provide these trackings. YOU, as Mentoyou and others have, can track Interstate or railroad closings to prove what they say is true or not. Document all these findings and file in a timely manner if you feel there is a violation and file every time it happens. It may/will take some time but if it's worth mentioning on here, it must be worth going after, huh? Remember, I won BIG bucks on this language alone. Try it. [/QUOTE]
