At the Laguna building, our saturday air driving has been split into two start times. Before, every driver started at 8:15am and those that wanted a pickup string would get one. These drivers would work until 2:30pm with a lunch and one break. Those that didn't have a pickup string finish delivering at 12pm and are out by 12:30pm. They've now split it up, 8 drivers with the least seniority are forced to start at 1pm, do pickups until 2:15pm, then clock out at about 3pm. All the other drivers keep the 8:15am start time and do only deliveries.
What they're trying to eliminate is the 15 minutes of downtime that pickup drivers have. Deliveries end at 12, lunch for 30 minutes, 15 minute break then pickups start at 1:15pm.
I'm fully aware that I have a 3 hour guarantee on saturday, and that I'm only working 2 hours but getting paid for 3 but this to me is awful. I'm wondering if there is anything in the contract that would possibly discourage this type of scheduling. If anyone of these 8 drivers calls in sick, they would have to use a supervisor or call someone back to do the pickups.
All these drivers are air/cover drivers. And the seniority they use is BUILDING seniority not driving seniority.
