Go back part time?

[Yabbadabbado]

I recently had a sezire and was diagnosed with generalized epilepsy. I've been with company 10 years, driving 3yrs. Now I'm being told from management and union rep I will be moved back part time. Employees I talk to says this isn't right but idk what I can do. Can anyone help me here? I can't afford to go part time..

By law They have to offer you alternative work due to your medical condition. It's not you get to pick and choose what you want.

Contract states if there is not ft spots available, you go to pt. Part that I strongly opposed, during last contract.

Can he get on the list for inside jobs?

In a situation like this they should create a full time inside job for him.

Sounds like he is in an extended center ... no inside jobs available.

Doing what?

So? Create one by combining two PT jobs.

Our center created a 22.3 for a driver who had a bad habit of running in to things while driving (3 Tier 3's within a year). No one is else allowed to bid on it and it will be abolished upon her separation/retirement.

Preload and metro sorts?

Yeah because there couldn't possibly be enough work to keep him busy for 8 hours....

 

[Catatonic]

Preload and metro sorts?

That would be one suck-ass position!
Better than being unemployed and missing all the accumulated seniority for sure.
Does the employee get paid at friend/t Driver rate or P/T rate?

Are Inside Clerk jobs Union employees?

Applicable Article 22.3 rate?

Are Inside Clerk jobs Union employees?

In my local they are.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Are Inside Clerk jobs Union employees?

Locally? Yes.

Does the employee get paid at friend/t Driver rate or P/T rate?

Good question.

We have a FT driver who is currently working on the inside because he got a DWI. He is getting his FT driver rate for the one year that he will be off road.

They should, but contract states otherwise.

Not here.

 

[km3]

They should be able to find something for him to do, though. Depending on the size of the building, if they just have him setup work areas for the next sort, that alone could knock out a couple hours.

That's a crappy deal. Not only can they force him back to PT, but he goes back to PT pension and wages too? That's ridiculous...

....beats the heck out of losing everything...

Maybe. Keeping the health insurance you already have is basically the only reason not to quit at that point.
