The rule at my building is you must have one year safe driving in the package car classification before you can bid into Feeders. PT or FT air driving does not count. Never heard of a PT Feeder driver.
What does your business agent say?
But reason being is if the feeder route ever got cut or abolished you can Bump a junior package driver route or bid inside. And they will be cutting a lot of the inside full time jobs soon with new automated sort system soon. They must know that there will be little or few inside full time jobs available and might be the reason for using old rule
And if you been here long enough you should know they will do what they want if they can get away with it .... Seen it before
Under the new contract 2013 to 2018, appendix a page 228 actually starts page 227 with a new Part Time cover driver
Business agent says article 57 paragraph d we've read it over and over and it does not say that which draws me back to appendix a bold letters new Part Time cover driver page 228 explains the bidding process probably does not help that our business agent is a package car driver
The last 20 feeder drivers we have full-time have never stepped foot in a package car
I understand that with the automatic systems and such, but that old rule is no longer even in the contract which would fall under article 6 of non-contractualThat’s bull
I think maybe I should get a call in to Washington to see if that will do any good our Union representation in Buffalo is horrible. I would gladly take any advice from anyone out there who could help me on this issue
Have you ever tried talking to the international
Different rules for off the street Feeder hire. Two years verifiable experience in tractor trailer in all types of weather.
I thought all feeder spots were considered part time based on how many actually worked hours they have.
