[QUOTE="browned out, post: 5210292, member: 8105"] In Michigan; you are out of luck. Neither Central States or 243 (if you are in Metro Detroit) did anything to protect RPCDs from the obvious UPS tactic of moving as much as possible of Monday's work to Saturdays. We asked over and over for this to be addressed. We requested the right to work Saturdays if we were laid off Mondays due to the obvious threat of volume manipulation. The union created the 22.4 job and purposely left this right out. The Hoffa slapdicks ignored us. Under the last contract; many of us bid on Tuesday thru Saturday ground positions. Some drivers bid Tues to Sat because they wanted to make sure they got 5 days. Under the current contract we were forced of our preferred bid upon schedules. We were forced back to Monday thru Friday regardless of our seniority and our bids. Seniority rights were thrown out the window. They are cutting routes like crazy on Mondays. They do not have enough 22.4s to cover the Saturday workload so RPCDs are allowed to the extra work based on seniority. So you have some RPCDs working 6 days and others working only 4. There is nothing you can do about it...unless You want to take a $6 an hour paycut and bid to 22.4. Then you would have the right to work Saturdays. Hopefully the next contract will address this glaring omission. Eliminating the 22.4 position and making everyone RPCDs would be ideal but there is no guarantee OZ can get that done. [/QUOTE]
