[QUOTE="Jdubjr, post: 4500579, member: 73145"] See..basically a cover worked inside(preload or reload). If you were needed on road that particular day, you didn’t work your classification. You cover drive. So after the last cover drivers went full time, they did away with cover drivers. The bid sheet didn’t go up again for years. Only hired off the street for $18.75 or pt to full time(article49.2 I think). Pt to full time only paid $ 18.75 also. Cover drivers made 32 per hour and you get red circled when you go full time until you make top rate. By eliminating cover drivers, the company could pay a bargaining unit $18.75 who been with the company for years off the street rate because progression as a cover driver wasn’t made 1st. The company was so abusive that they would bring cover drivers from other jurisdictions to prevent part timers from becoming bid- cover drivers. When they still needed more routes, they would send part time preloaded or reloaders our with 30-60 ground stops without any schooling just to prevent having cover drivers. It makes sense. They can lay off a rcpd when work doesn’t exist. Sure they can bump two pt ers. But who will do that. Plus if you do, there is a time limit then you will make pt er pay for that classification. If you think about it, the lower senior drivers are the new cover drivers if they aren’t guaranteed 8 hrs five days a week. Now it’s if work exist. [/QUOTE]
