[QUOTE="browned out, post: 3956279, member: 8105"] I understand the following is master CBA language but other competent locals have clarified and improved this vague, foolish, easily exploitable language. All existing regular full-time package car drivers (RPCD) shall be considered RPCD drivers for the purpose of this Section. The Union and Company commit to protect existing RPCDs from being scheduled or forced to perform weekend delivery work and increasing the number of full-time opportunities for part-time employees. [COLOR=#ff0000]How about committing to affording all RPCDs the same guarantee of 40 hours a week created for the new 22.4 position? Creating opportunities for part timers to go full time at the expense of many low seniority Full Timers being forced to part time hours is preposterous.
