Huge layoffs are happening to 22.4s

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I love my OT and work as much as I can, but as I have a family I can fully understand how someone would not want to work 60 hours a week. Hell, even if you're single that doesn't give you much free time.

Overtime is nice on payday but too much overtime will break your body down.

I saw the driver that’s at the bottom of the 22.4 seniority list show up to work in a brand new Dodge Charger last week. It’s interesting looking at the vehicles guys are driving. Most of the old timers are driving (or at least commuting to work in) 10+ year old vehicles. Low seniority guys are showing up in new sports cars and lifted trucks. The mentality seems to be “I finally got a good paying job, I’m gonna go out and buy me a new ride!”

A first year 22.4 only makes $20.50 an hour. Definitely not a good paying job and ridiculous that they would go buy new sports cars. Absolutely insane.

Define consecutive. Some are taking it as no 2 hour break between PT jobs.

This is regards to 22.4 driver layoffs.

If they bid a 22.4 job that includes inside work.... then this language applies:


5. All 22.4 combination drivers shall be guaranteed eight (8) consecutive hours of straight time pay per day, if reporting as scheduled. All 22.4 combination drivers shall work a five (5) consecutive day schedule of Tuesday through Saturday or Wednesday through Sunday. This paragraph shall supersede any Supplement, Rider, or Addendum on the same subject.

6. When the new job includes inside work, the Company shall be entitled to establish up to a one-and-one-half hour (1.5) gap, to include the meal period, between jobs in a workday. All other working conditions not set forth herein, including, but not limited to, the work available for combination with driving, bidding procedures, holidays, vacations, etc. shall be set forth in the Supplements, Riders and Addenda.

I never understood why drivers don't want the overtime. Take it while it's there.

Do it for
Years and years then get back to us

Overtime's nice on payday but like @burr said
There's a point in your career we can only do so much

I cab understand your point. But who knows, maybe in this next contract the overtime may not be there. We don't know.

In that case people need to to live within their means

7-10 hours overtime, after that higher taxes knock your rate of pay back down to almost regular rate. Taxes were structured like that in response to overtime abuses. Also, these laws were made for a time when women were homemakers.

They withhold more tax from your check but it evens out at the end of the year.

Taxes on $100,000 gross pay is the same whether you earn it all on straight time or a portion of it in OT. Just want to clarify that for newer folks. You never lose money by working more OT.

Of course. Many regular drivers in my center can't afford to not work for one week if a strike happens. What a joke.

22.4s in our building have been working two separate shifts. I’m sure they’ll be happy to know they can get consecutive hours.

Are you not able to save making $42 an hour as a regular driver? I make $25 an hour and save $3000 a month.

I guess you don't know me
Besides the monthly expenses I do not owe anybody on this planet a nickel

He should probably do a little more research.

No matter what job I had or how much I made, I always manage to save a little bit

If I was a feeder driver I'd be raising hell if feeders are in the building and contractors are still pulling loads.

Mainly because the contractors are hogging up all of the snacks and ladies.
