[QUOTE="WTFm8, post: 3677944, member: 73537"] You must have a bad BA that didn't explain the language, are very naive, or have an overly generous/nice manager. It's a 2nd tier pay for identical work. There's no 8 or 9.5 hour protection, they'll work you like a dog having 11+hr days. They're going to shift workload from Mondays to be delivered Saturday and/or Sunday when that starts. Many buildings have multiple RPCD laid off on Mondays due to volume issues as it is. The 22.4 launguage basically says 0 will be worked if there's a single RPCD laid off for the day... it's redundant language because there already isn't a reason for them on the days of layoffs. All they need to do is add around 5% more routes to stop having such crazy volume. They need to hire the correct people for the positions needing staffed. Many buildings are short staffed for preload or local sort. How does it make financial sense to have RPCD or the 'new' 22.4 combo employees working those positions making $21-$54.30/hr (after OT) when they should just pay PT employees $15/hr to start instead of the $13 under the 'handshake' contract? The preload and local-sort positions are pretty demanding/labor intensive preloading 3-5 trucks due to staffing, 3 people unloading essentially 2 semis and ~50 package cars for local sort, etc. We have such bad staffing that the company is paying grievances for 3 supervisors working local sort along with 3 others AND the building manager shuttling miss loads. People just won't put up with the pay vs labor. There's been a few days where missload count is in the 40ish range between the 35-40 routes that 2 shuttlers did 270 miles worth of driving combined. Ask your BA if they got language added to your supplement for OT on 6th day punches as long as you had 17.5+ hrs that week to help your PT people out. [/QUOTE]
