It’s black and white, no stretching of logic.
Seasonal employees, PVD’s, in Local 804 get the protection of the CBA. Cannot be forced to drive their personal vehicles.
Seasonal employees, PVD’s, in the Central do not get the protection of the CBA. The language saying they cannot be forced to drive their personal vehicles does not apply to them.

an absolute *ing disgrace of a human being.
Sooo… you’ll no longer be an RPCD?UPS is going to hire millions of PVDs this year

Not driving a personal vehicle is not a "benefit."

Yes but is it talking about the central region supplemental agreement only?

OK, for those a little slow, a benefit of the CBA is not being forced to drive your personal vehicle.
Seosonal/Probationary employees are not entitled to this benefit in the Central.

Nope. The clause says “except for wages spelled out in this agreement.”
There are no wages spelled out in the Central. The wages are spelled out in the Master.
The clause referring to “this agreement” takes the master and supplement as a whole, as the agreement.

And again, I disagree.

They rented cars here last peak for the PVDs to use. Why don’t other hubs do the same?

I have no issues with someone disagreeing, but let me ask you this.
You’re saying that you disagree that UPS not being able to force you to drive your personal vehicle is a benefit of the contract?

Well, since you're a little slow, no I don't.

Well, apparently, you don't know what a benefit is.
Benefit: something that produces good or helpful results or effects or that promotes well-being
A benefit is not only money, or vacations, or pensions. A benefit is anything that "benefits" the employee, that produces good or helpful results. The contract, not allowing the Company to force a package car driver to use his personal vehicle, is a benefit to the employee, it is a benefit of the contract.

Oh, I'm well aware of the definition of benefit, but, thank you. I disagree with you.

Shortly after the 60 hour mark, I mysteriously become "too tired to safely drive our equipment anymore". Hasn't failed me yet...

I always thought the whole PVD was bananas. Left package before it was a thing. Covered a peak job at my old building last year that started at 8:30 am. Went around to fuel up and wash the tractor and walked inside and saw a line of personal vehicles backed up to the belt. Stood there in disbelief. Wonder how much the Teamsters got paid to allow this one. Crazy.

Last peak was a breeze......had to work Saturdays but home by 6:30 every night. A ton of PVD's were hired.They found a way where they could hire PVD's and not pay us OT.

They got dues from all the PVDs
LOL grow a spine. Force UPS to do things the right wayThe same guys that hate PVDs are the same guys that complain about excessive work and excessive OT during peak.I knew going into this career I would be a slave during peak so the work and hrs don’t bother me.
