[QUOTE="Cowboy Mac, post: 5600346, member: 59074"] You are a 22.4 Full Time Combination Driver. In the southern region, article 48.6 talks about bidding and seniority. Unfortunately for 22.4s, they use the term “package car driver”. I believe that the term should mean any employee who drives a package car, but the panels did not see it this way. They interpret it as “RPCD”. So again I think it’s BS because you guys can’t bid on permanent routes or vacation coverage, but this is what happens when we have vague language. The company takes advantage of it to their benefit, and panels being unpredictable sometimes side with the company and the decision is binding. RPCDs are not supposed to work on Saturday because it is not a scheduled work day for us. 22.4s have seniority on this day. Article 22.4(B)-5 says that you are guaranteed 8 consecutive hours of straight time pay per day. It does not say whether you get the hours driving or inside. Section 6 basically says to refer to the supplements for anything not listed in the NMA in regards to 22.4s: [ATTACH type="full"]430843[/ATTACH] As far as route selection on Saturdays, I think it’s BS as well because we left the door wide open in the 2018 contract for the company to assign routes on Saturdays however they want. We also didn’t foresee the volume shift from Monday to Saturday, causing Mondays to be light and Tues-Saturday to be heavy. In my center we have so many routes that are cut on Mondays but run Tues-Fri or Tues-Sat. We can’t get them put up for bid because technically they aren’t run consecutively for 30 days. It’s another loophole the company took advantage of to reduce their labor costs. What is an interpretation booklet? Is that something that strong locals have? [/QUOTE]
