[QUOTE="browned out, post: 4202185, member: 8105"] You are still refusing to comprehend the language your cronies crafted. [LEFT][I]"No RPCD shall be laid off [U][B]or displaced[/B][/U] from the classification while 22.4 combination drivers are working in the building."[/I] Here is the problem with that language. UPS is going to a 22.4 schedule of Wednesdays thru Sundays therefore 0 (ZERO) 22.4 will be working in any building on M and T. RPCDS will not be displaced from their classification. RPCD Language: [I]if reporting each day as scheduled, as long [B][U]as work is available[/U][/B][/I] 22.4 Language: [B][U] All[/U][/B] 22.4 combination drivers shall be guaranteed eight (8) consecutive hours of straight time pay per day, if reporting as scheduled The UPSers in Local 243 repeatedly asked UPS and the 243 Local leaders for clarification regarding RPCDs who are laid off on a Mondays or Tuesdays. We asked if RPCDs (laid off on M and/or T) had the right to work Saturday and/or Sunday in order to reach 40 hours. The answer continually told by both the local union and UPS was [I]"we don't know".[/I] Finally after months of UPSers looking for a concrete answer; we got one. Right before the 3rd supplemental vote. The answer from the Union and UPS was a resounding NO; an RPCD has no right to work a Saturday or Sunday and no right to 40 hours during the week. As you already stated; the only RPCDs guaranteed 40 hours are the top 90% working the 1st day of the week which is Monday for RPCDs. With the advent of Sat and soon Sun ground; the # of routes and drivers working Mondays has been drastically reduced. And more RPCDs are being laid off on Mondays. The result of a grievance filed on this subject most likely be denied. The company and local have already agreed on the interpretation of the language. If the grievance is allowed to be appealed to the final step; This applies: [I]If any grievance or dispute cannot be satisfactorily settled by a majority decision of the panel and the UPS Joint Area Committee, then the grievance shall be submitted to the United Parcel Service Vice President of Labor Relations, or his/her designee, and the International Director of the Central Region of Teamsters, or his/her designee.[/I] The local and UPS have already agreed on the intent of the language and the fact that the interpretation is based on the essence of the contract. In other locals or supplements; Arbitration is included.
