When people ask questions here without contacting their Local first, it's
easier to just start with the basics.
As always, things will vary by region, state, or Local.
My Local has 22.3 (non-CDL) yard shifters.
The best part, they are paid feeder rate when shifting. As per the
Central Region language.... one click over 4 hours and they are paid feeder
rate all day. This is a Local agreement.
Didn't someone already start a thread about this ?
Maybe it was a comment in another post.
In my state, it's a $1.69 differential.

How did your local get past CRT Art 11 Sec 4? Or maybe the better question is "why"?

We don't have part-timers doing feeder work.
Never have.... and never will.
The opportunity for part-timers to qualify, was a one shot deal.

Here they have always had it that way that the shifters can go on road. If I were you tho I would contact your steward and BA both. If you signed a bid that did not require that qualification you should get to keep doing what you are doing. If they lay you off, then that would mean your job is no longer needed, which means if they have someone else perform your job it is a contract violation. Because a laid off employee has the right to perform the work when it is available.

Great, and as it should be.
So existing full time work was offered as 22.3 combo work which by definition is created by combining part time work. Makes perfect sense.

Umm....
That's not really a layoff situation.
Changing the (current) job content requirements, would need some negotiation
with the Local. The company should go "above and beyond" to allow employees
to remain in their job.

It doesn't.
But then again, I would have to bash former elected Officials in my Local.

It makes no sense at all....and it's not "bashing" to say so.
No way to get that toothpaste back in the tube.

Any disagreement or concern is considered bashing, when you have an agenda to fulfill and maintain.
And I'm not suggesting anyone should be "bashed", as I'm confident former officials didn't contemplate UPS would attempt to extend local agreements elsewhere.
I understand local autonomy but I have this apparent misconception that situations like this should be addressed, discussed and approved by the regional directors before any local sets a precedent that could harm others.
But yet our reps are travelling to a CRT JAC in Chicago, which is covered by locals not in the CRT.
More perfectly logical decisions.

What about us part-time "back-up" shifters making preloader pay.
