Remain a Tues-Sat RPCD

[browned out]

I was hired as a PTer and then bid to a M-friend package car driver. A couple years ago I bid to Tues-Sat RPCD.

Why should anyone be forced back to M-friend?

Is there a work around to the 'it is the intent of the company and union for all RPCD to work a M-friend schedule?

Is there a way RPCDs that were not hired in as Tues-Sat drivers but bid on to Tues - Sat to remain on that schedule?

Nope....

Article 22.4 Section 4(b) (5)

5. All 22.4 combination drivers shall be guaranteed eight (8) consecutive hours of straight time pay per day, if reporting as scheduled. All 22.4 combination drivers shall work a five (5) consecutive day schedule of Tuesday through Saturday or Wednesday through Sunday. This paragraph shall supersede any Supplement, Rider, or Addendum on the same subject.

You're going Monday through Friday little buddy. You could go be a 22.4 and stay on Saturday that way. Probably have to quit and get rehired to do that.

What if they post a 22.4 bid sheet and he signs it? Couldn’t a package driver technically bump a 22.4? Not that many would want to.

 

[freehoodies]

There is a new contract around the corner.

Maybe talk to someone in the union about getting that in there, and they can run it up the chain.

I do not want to take a $6 an hour pay cut to remain on a schedule that I bid on. The right should have been grandfathered in.
I bid on the Tuesday - Saturday because I am getting up there in age and Saturdays are much less physically demanding than Mondays.

Being off on Mondays makes it so I don't have to take days off for doctor, dentist, etc. appointments.

Age discrimination?

Basic seniority rights?

I know; vote 'em out and negotiate a proper contract. The next contract will not be ratified until at least 2023.

Forcing older, higher seniority drivers to work a more physically demanding schedule unless they take a pay-cut could be construed as age discrimination.

It's not right. And the company controlled POS Hoffa/Hall/Taylor teamsters knew this when they drafted this garbage language.

Why do you keep dodging my questions ?

What happened with all the NLRB charges (you said) you were filing against Local 243 ?

Older, higher seniority drivers should already be doing retirement routes. That being said, it's in the contract now, not a lot you can do about it. I never saw an issue with someone wanting to stay T-S. Although it doesn't work for me, I can see the benefits in it. Did you try to grieve it?

What basis would you grieve it on?

How is Monday more physically demanding? Follow the methods, set your pace, and enjoy the OT. No winning on mondays.

Don’t be a pusillanimous then. Do it.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I've worked it as a six punch. Maybe 225 packages 140 stops or so, 4 pickups 35 packages, airs have a noon commitment, 8 and 1/2 hours easy $500

Must have a Post Office on that route....as if there is a true Mon-Sat route for comparison.

Those Sure Post packages are exhausting?

There is none specifically. There's a bunch of different wording in the central about switching days but none that pertain to this. I was just thinking he could pick something close to at least get it moved along if he has any in his supplement.

Bubblehead already showed the trump card. Article 22.4 already has the answer.

How does that leave you with any time to file all those NLRB charges ?

It can be done at home on a computer, you know that thing with a screen, keyboard and mouse.
Hope this helps.
