[QUOTE="Sweeper, post: 5464283, member: 66635"] Talk to a steward, if your local excepts a part timer making full rate for going with a supervisor and essentially being a full rate helper for the day due to the company being short handed then you may have a legitimate grievance. My argument would be the supervisor should have sent a message to the diad of the driver that you were helping at the time. I’d say they violated your part time seniority by not using the companies Diad to attempt to contact you through the driver you were helping. My local ended this practice about twenty years ago. What was eventually realized was that the company was purposely understaffing and using supervisors to deliver routes along with a part timer paid full rate way too much. The company should be creating additional full time jobs. As I recall, what ended up happening was the stewards started grieving the supervisors working in addition to the part timer making full driver rate. If you can pass a physical and get a DOT card I’d say request for the company to provide you a DOT physical and get a card. Start training to drive based on your contract. If you don’t want to drive the company should be training a different person to be a new driver. Part timers making full rate for a day is a stop gap measure that the company uses and abuses on a regular basis. They especially will do this if it gets them out of creating an additional permanent biddable full time job. [/QUOTE]
