So I asked...."the 22.4's are doing the same job as me for less pay?"

[Hroller]

At our "presentation" this past weekend, I stated that the new classification of driver is doing the same job I do....but for $6 less?

Union guy responds...."yes, that is correct"

Me: "how does this help me eliminate my 10 hour days?"

Union guy: "you won't have to work Saturdays"

Me: "so this cut-rate driver will work Saturday, delivering my Monday packages?"

Union guy: "could happen, but probably won't"

Me: "How do you know? Then I'll be laid off on Monday?"

Union guy: "if you're laidd off on Monday.....you can bump the 22.4 driver on Saturday and get your full five days"


He said this all with a straight face.

Did you ask him to provide you with the language that says you can bump a 22.4 on Saturday to get your hours?

No Art 22.4 will work if a FT driver is laid off. Problem is so many FT drivers will take time off whenever it is offered.

Lots of drivers need to learn how to ask for a broom and a toilet brush, to get their 8-hour guarantee.

We’re our own worst enemy.

Then the Porters will file on drivers working outside their classification. No the laid off drivers should ask what time the midnight sort starts.

No porters here.

No Porters here, but I agree.

No Porters? Porters are the highest echelon of Union classification in my building 35 years seniority before you can even dream about bidding a job and that is only if you are there at the right time. Most are 60 to 70+years old and the jobs only turn over every 5 to 10 years. Sort of like being on the US Supreme Court.

Need 10 hours off in between shifts

Not if you are laid off. The new contract says 90 minutes and also that you must work a PT job or two when laid off.

 

[Grey]

Everyone talks about Monday and Tuesday being tricky but what happens on Wed-Fri when RPCD’s and 22.4’s all want to work and are guaranteed 8 hours?

Isn't 10 hours off dot law

That’s also some hemorrhoid cream on your toothbrush, 90 minutes between shifts, take your breaks within that window?

Utter nonsense.

Happens all the time with Art 22.3 employees.

No Art 22.4 will work if a FT driver is laid off.

Isn’t the problem here that if the RPCD work week is officially M-friend under the new Contract, an RPCD not working on a Saturday isn’t actually/technically a lay-off?
