[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 470776, member: 12570"] We have feeder drivers bumping back in to pkg car, which I understand as the Union wants to protect the full time employees, but what I don't understand is what happened to me today. I asked my on-car if I could have Thursday off, partly because I have some things to take care of but mostly to give my cover driver a chance to work. Well, he told me that he couldn't work the cover driver(s) until all of the feeder drivers were working and, since they don't have area knowledge, they have to go with an on-car for that day. We only have one on-car and he is already doing a 3 day ride with one of our problem children. He knew that I was trying to help my cover driver but there is nothing he can do (his words). The same thing happened on Monday to another driver who wanted the day off. Several of us began to talk about this before the PCM and agreed that the only way to get a day off until the feeder drivers go back to feeders is to call in sick. This sucks as I always try to do the right thing and ask for the day but I am not going to watch my cover driver sit at home when I can take a day here and there to make sure he gets some hours.
