When work is available

[1989]

Always was...but now we have the "when work is available" loophole.

You don’t have daily layoffs?

We do , but 22.4 don't . There is no language for them so ups could lay them off Tuesday thought Friday and there is nothing that can do about

Isn't RPCD guarantee 8hrs a day and 5 days a week

Always was...but now we have the "when work is available" loophole.

For example in the south a RPCD can be layed off with 24 hour notice. So they could lay them off Mondays if they wanted because no 22.4 is working.

No they couldn't because they have to give them 5 consecutive working days.

Not exactly. If you are on the schedule, you get your guarantee. They could schedule you laid off on just Monday if they wanted to, but that brings up the problem...it will put more RPCDs in jeopardy of the Monday layoff while over the weekend 22.4s deliver that, what would be, Monday volume. Lower seniority, lower paid drivers!

What supplement are you under if you don't mind me asking.

Then can you explain the last two sentence on the second paragraph the part that say when work is available

 

[Been In Brown Too Long]

Here's where all the CA bashing comes in...for now, just don't!

That language is for RPCDs only.

22.4s do not have the language "when work is available."

I feel your pain with the bashing. I'm SoCal

You sure , It says combination not RPCD

I believe jaker is referring to this line...which is not "when."

That's referring to combining driving work with preload or local sort, etc... in order to give them at least their guaranteed 8 hr. day.

22.4 are FT combo jobs. Just like a 22.3 is a FT combo job

This is the language with the "as long as work is available" it's for RPCDs only.

Glad you posted it, I was looking to get that up here. When you combine this language with the 22.4 language, it all becomes very clear how it will be used!

Sounds like there’s going to be some insane business routes on Monday. Like 2-3 routes combined of just business with 8:15 start times. That won’t be stressful at all.

Just after that bad news sinks in, you realize you have to cover 3 routes worth of pickups and all of their pickup times overlap. Happened to me every time they eliminated a route in my loop.
