[QUOTE="Wiconi, post: 3735632, member: 64522"] I'll vote no on the national and central region. Mostly because there is precisely NOTHING anywhere that says the new 22.4 drivers have ANY 9.5 protection, nor is there ANY language that says these 'split' workers won't wind up driving 50 hours a week (with no inside time) for less than the RPCD's. There are a lot of 'if's, but nothignwhatever to stop the company from hiring a 22.4 and driving them full time for less money. There are a couple of phrases which refer to protections that might (but don't) appear in regional and local riders. Also, I get about $15 wk in 'skilled' pay, and with the new contract, I'll be making less, because for the time I'm doing skills work, I won't get my skilled pay. I think that the new contract is going the right direction, but there just isn't enough protections for the new combo drivers. Good idea, it's just that the execution needs some refinement. UPS can do better. [/QUOTE]
