From what I heard, the vote was actually against the deal. But a "loophole" in the ratification/voting process was exploited, so the deal was actually accepted. There are others who know much more about this than I. I just am spouting off what I remember from reading other posts in this forum.
PVD (beating a dead horse?)
- Thread starter vociferous121
- Start date
Yeah no kidding! We had to join the union as PVD'S!!
Thank you!! Agreed. I'm a PVD who signed on for the first time this season. Only couple months into the job and now today December 20th was told my route had been cut!! Yesterday one of our other drivers had very few deliveries so they asked to help me out. Now today I'm told I'm out and they will not be calling me back.
What the heck is this? We had a great team going with our unit too.

Well, dang it’s almost like you’re not really part of the company and they don’t care about you. Just terrible. Have a merry Christmas.

The “loophole” was actually a legitimate provision in the teamster constitution. Doesn’t mean I agree with it, but it was not “exploited” it was used. At the last teamster convention the delegates voted to get rid of that legitimate provision.

Did you not understand that the job was temporary
It is that they dont have enough work for regular workers not for seasonal helpers. This suppose to be busiest days in the year.

Who Told you that? Today is not peak day. They advance volume so yesterday people were slammed today there’s no volume tomorrow they will be volume again. Are peak “ground” day has already passed. We will probably be heavy with overnight deliveries the next couple days that’s about it. Some random pockets of heavy routes, but mostly peak is over. Good luck at your next gig job.
I thought that is last week before Christmas busy in delivery business. Whole time between thanksgiving and Christmas.
Thank you for good wishes.

Peak day has changed quite a bit over the years. Last week before Christmas is usually all about next day air.

It’s all about the better not bigger framework the company has strategically aligned their their self to. We are shifting away from high volume and are aggressively going for better revenue packages. Also, the effects of the pandemic spending has began to normalize.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
