[QUOTE="Been In Brown Too Long, post: 3680542, member: 32249"] Pretty simple. A minimum of 10 routes worth of volume. That's provided they only run them a normal 9.5ish day. You say 12hrs, and I see no reason they wouldn't run them 14hrs. Nothing preventing it in the TA language. A 40 route building could see itself minus 12 routes on Monday easily. Give them Sunday, Monday will be bad, and there will be shortages of volume for Tuesday as well. Both Monday and Tuesday 22.4s will be off, and the "no RPCD will be laid off while a 22.4 is working" language becomes irrelevant. That's where the "as long as work is available" language screws over the RPCDs. It literally gives permission to management to manipulate the volume to save $6/hr. x 10-12 routes x (your)12hrs/day × 52 weeks. Company saves easily $35-45k per year and I didn't do the math to figure OT, that's straight time pay rate only. That's a small 40 route building. Multiply that times all buildings, most being larger, and the incentive for UPS to exploit this soft language is huge! [/QUOTE]
