[QUOTE="35years, post: 4331557, member: 60822"] So this is the way it woked here.... We disqualified 18 out of 20 drivers just before peak, all on the last day of their qualifying period. 15 of the disqualified were very close to scratch. Most were offered a "seasonal" driver position after disqualification. Anything to keep from hiring them permanently. 2 took the crappy temp position. This is in a center which never has a problem with too many drivers....Many 9.5s paid. Completely overwhelmed during peak. 70 hour rule. They hired 30 PVDs, which was the plan going into peak. We were rolling tens of thousands of boxes every night. Mug you are wrong....We were esentually using subcontractors. Some of the PVDs still had their plackards on their cars advertizing their non-union delivery company's name. They may have been hired individually, but a non-union competitor was supplying the manpower. Others PVDs were managers. So the plan was dump potential permanent drivers for PVDs. They used the qualifing drivers as long as possible, they needed the bodies. Hiring PVDs cost permanent full time union jobs. A scab by any other name...is still a scab. [/QUOTE]
