As you might have guessed from the title, I'm a PT OCA cover driver. I don't have an assigned route and cover when vacations come up and there are a few open routes as well. I've been driving 5 days a week (for the most part) for over two years, but when peak comes around and nobody is on vacation I don't get any driving hours.
The rub comes that I am told I can't work the ramp or sort when I am unscheduled for driving. I have more seniority than half the people working the sort/ramp, yet I have to stay home while they get to work. I would love to be able to come in and work at the normal sort rate when I'm not driving (less money is still better than no money), but my supes say that I can't since I won a bid for a driving position. Any help? I work under the Central Region Supplement.
