[QUOTE="Sweeper, post: 3963162, member: 66635"] Here’s a few ideas : Try showing up every day in uniform and trying to get drivers to take days off. Be willing and eager to go out on the blind. You’d be surprised at guys that will take days off, especially Fridays. This is very easy to do if you live near your center. Talk to management about working part time shifts, if you’re not already doing so. The local sort is best as it would allow you to work driving if an opportunity arose a day here or a day there. Working P/T shifts could possibly help with pension credits, think long term. This may also help with health care benefits in the short term. If your local covers multiple buildings you could potentially bump into a building or center that has lower seniority employees working. It may be worth a lengthy commute to get work short term. Attend union meetings and talk to your BA and stewards about other potential options. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
