Telling everyone just like I did last contract.
"Start putting away $20-$25 a week aside just in case. If nothing happens then go on a nice vacation with it."
PVDs and the contract
- Thread starter 35years
- Start date
"Start putting away $20-$25 a week aside just in case. If nothing happens then go on a nice vacation with it."
And everyone will laugh at me when my old ass works this Saturday or two here and there

That's not why they're laughing at you.

Here in Iowa, we are a right to work state so if we have regular drivers that aren't paying dues, (which I know we do), they sure as hell can't force the pvds to pay dues.
They don't pay them here

In right to work states...
All of the PVDs are scabs.
Most of the part-timers.
Some of the drivers.
Cannot make them join or pay dues. Of course, when they are suspended, get in an accident, or are seriously injured they sure wish they signed up!

Second sentence is most important. They aren't required to use but they also aren't required to work here. The ruling changes nothing imo.

Kind of hard to get employees to voluntarily pay Union dues for a minimum wage job with no benefits. Most could go to McDonalds and make more money. With benefits.
Thanks Bubblehead - that was an interesting read. Apparently, the decision was applicable only to 2019 and the remedies were referred back to the parties. It does create some precedence, I would imagine, but is only applicable to 804 and for 2019 peak season.

So the Teamsters couldn’t get out in front of this once they figured out it was only for
LU 804 and 2019

A better question would be why was this the only language added to the present CBA in regards to PVD's when they become an issue during the Peak Season of 2017?

Is the company arguing that PVD's are not employees but more like private contractors that we see all the time during Peak?

So in the future without the pvd's they'll just hire them as seasonal drivers but not have any vehicles to put them in & give rpcds all that work back?
It seems to me this is all about a vehicle issue, we can't get enough for peak season so we have pvds use theirs.
Idk, I'd rather get home with 9 hours through peak rather than 12.

They argue that they are seasonal employees, but instead of renting them a U-Haul they rent their personal vehicles.

I would love to hear any stories of his that you're willing to share!
It's my signature because people have mostly forgotten what it took to win a decent way of life and some rights at work. While it's a different time, and we all hope it never comes to risking life or limb on the streets, it's hard to think that this country isn't heading that direction ...
