[QUOTE="35years, post: 5081015, member: 60822"] UPS is using PVDs nearly anyway they want right now. [B]I know the simple solution is prohibiting PVDs outright[/B],[B] but... IF they are allowed in the next contract...What limitations should be imposed?[/B] The following should not only apply to PVDs, but also ANY SEASONAL OR TEMPORARY DRIVER. 1. Must pay union dues 2. Must not work outside of Nov 15 to Jan 15 3. Not allowed to work if any seniority driver is laid off 4. Not allowed to punch in before latest regular driver's start time. 5. All packages shuttled to PVD drop points will be done by seniority, by regular drivers 6. No seniority driver will be required to give stops to PVDs 7. Seniority drivers will be given the choice to take stops from PVDs if they have completed their own work. 8. PVDs will have no right to any geographical area...They will be utilized only to take stops off drivers who request the help. 9. Available seniority drivers will have the right to any extra work before PVDs 10. All seniority drivers will be asked via Diad text if they want the work before PVDs take stops off drivers. 11. No pickups will be done by PVDs; air or ground. Some of the above points are already covered by local supplements, but are being violated by seasonals and PVDs. Those violations should be grieved immediately. PVDs in any shape or form are a concession. The reason for them is to reduce forced OT. So any allowance of PVDs should include a concession by UPS on a limit of forced OT. How about any location that uses PVDs will not be allowed to force seniority drivers to work over 10 hours on any day...Drivers may bring stops back to the bldg as missed after 10 without threat of discipline? Any other ideas? [/QUOTE]
