[QUOTE="Just A UPS Guy, post: 3703411, member: 73174"] It's not being enforced because of us. FT drivers have been way too lax about it because we think, "hey, that kid is making some money, and we have another driver available...." And because in many centers, if you push the issue and file on it, they will create the position and then immediately layoff that position and the three ahead of it. So, it works in a manner that sort of benefits the company and that kid. The kid doesn't wanna kill the golden goose, the company gets a second class driver. Union hates it, you and I don't wanna rock his boat so we dont push it. Everyone outside of the JC in Oregon and NJ has some form of this in their language, cover driver, TCD, give it a name. Some areas don't abuse it, others don't use it at all, many/most ride that horse until she falls. These 22.4's will feel that pain, but the union gets FT contributions so now it's a good idea. Gonna be a rough go for these kids. It would be a little easier to swallow if they could at least have 88-hour requests and earn 9.5 protections at 4 years like an RPCD. Based on the apathy I've seen, I still think its gonna pass. [/QUOTE]
