[QUOTE="browned out, post: 3596748, member: 8105"] [I]Quote from member Undertow. If the union and company were serious about using hybrids to ease the overloaded dispatch, then present a clause that has irrefutable 9.5 language on one end and iron clad protection forbidding exploitation of hybrids up to 70 hours on the other. Until that happens, I'd refuse it right there regardless of whatever other issues they claim to have "fixed".[/I] [B]And offer overtime and extra work to Regular Package Car Drivers first, and then offer the OT to 22.4 hybrid combination drivers. This way the people who want the OT can get it. Those (whether they are RPCD or 22.4 hybrid drivers) who want to spend more time with their families will have that option. Why would anyone think that having a new hybrid driver with a family work up to 70 hours with NO 9.5 PROTECTION EVER is good for that drivers family time? When there are RPCD's who still want the OT because their kids have already moved out, etc. They already missed most of their kids weekday extracurricular activities over the last 15 years. Why penalize the drivers who have already sacrificed by losing that precious time? Offer OT to Full Time Package Car Drivers first, then offer it to Air Drivers, and then offer it to 22.4s. If staffing needs are not met, then force in reverse order. Why is it so difficult to get this common sense language into the Contract?[/B] [/QUOTE]
