Laying off 22.4s.

[Cheesypurpletees]

Not sure where all of you guys are located, or why everyone seems kind of passive, but in my building, 22.4s were sent to the unemployment line yesterday because of the language in the contract that states if any full time drivers are laid off, 22.4s are laid off completely from UPS and have to collect unemployment until UPS calls them back. It was a $h!t show with drivers yelling at the BA's.

That’s wild, in the western supplement after 24 months of a continuous layoff you’re discharged completely and lose senority. It sounds like you’re saying “laid off completely” as in said employee would need to reapply and go through the hiring process again.

I have read the contract, but I am not an expert. The president of our local read the article ( I did not write it down) out loud. He said UPS is using the language, with management nodding in agreement and 22.4s yelling, that 22.4s would not be guaranteed ANY work because of 3 regular full time drivers laid off and working in the building. Management will now pull 30 RPCDs from the bottom of seniority list to cover Saturdays and to expect 25 to 30 stops added to your route daily to make up for the laid off 22.4s.

Aside from the usual Feb-March layoffs I can only speculate; but maybe this is ups preparing for the unions push to end 22.4s.

Article 22 NMA
4. No RPCD shall be laid off or displaced from the classification while 22.4 combination drivers are working in the building.

Why can’t they bump 2 part time shifts to get 40 hours

I'm 10 from the top seniority. Enforce 9.5 and then have hours available so they can force me in on Saturday because the rookies are out of hours? What should I do?

You should do what you always should do, follow the methods. File grievances if you go or 9.5.

 

[PreTrippin’]

Enforce 9.5

Always

force me in on Saturday

14 hours at 1.5x with packages brought back missed. They might not force you in next Saturday.

It’s called a recession people. It will get worst before it gets better. We’re just getting started.

 

[SorryLazyPOS]

They’ll ask me the night before if I want the day off. They’re begging us to take vacations. My stop count is the same but miles are going up. This is not good gentleman not good. I have about 100 drivers below me.

There are plenty of $15 an hour jobs out there.
But lots of high-paying jobs are quickly disappearing

That is correct which is why you don’t look at the number of job openings, you look at the quality of job openings.

You don't consider construction and building trades high paying jobs? Can't hire enough and construction season hasn't started yet.
