[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1145216, member: 12570"] Potential outcomes to voting yes: Direct hit to income: • one VCD hired per driver out on vacation as per supplement could leave VCD drivers with no route if split/cover drivers fill all spots. If that happens what could the company do? Maybe remove work from routes to create splits for the VCD to do. Which can potentially take OT from full time package drivers [COLOR=#FF0000]If your center is like ours you have a limited number of package cars so this may be a moot point; however, if there were enough package cars, why wouldn't you want your dispatch lowered, especially in the summer?
