22.4s... miss them yet?

[Pee Bottle]

Doesn’t matter to me. I want 50 hours if I’m able. Preferable twice a week on the preload so that I can enjoy my two days off tho.

 

[542thruNthru]

weird, i would have thought this would protect that:

(2) the employee bids or is assigned to cover a route for a full week but is prevented from
completing that bid or assignment due to reassignment by the Employer

I thought the same thing. They reassigned me.

 

[BigUnionGuy]

The Saturday plan changes the route ID, not the delivery area in some cases. We have some past practice that is relevant, in our opinion.

That's BS.... if the company is trying to pull that nonsense.

Combine routes and change the name. Nope.

On a Saturday.

That’s what they do at my center so they don’t have the route become a full time bid route

I will be presenting the first 9.5 grievances for the newly reclassified RPCDs tomorrow at a local level. The company's position is that the drivers have not fully met the criteria that allows for penalty pay. Our position is that from 2015-2018 we settled nearly a hundred exact grievances for T-S employees prior to the existence of the 22.4 classification. Most certainly headed to a State Panel hearing and possibly beyond.

Grab their $. It’s the only thing they understand.

The company does as it pleases. Always has and always will...

I don't miss having 22.4s around at all. It's better when everybody's got an equal progression-- less resentment, less frustration.

Flip-side of that coin? My center's had maybe 6 terminations of RPCDs since the contract was ratified, and it seems like management is gunning for more.

I can't speak on what those Teamsters did to get themselves terminated, but I can say I miss them. I'm friggin' working every day now.

I guess the bright side is that I managed to win a bid route recently so that's been nice.

Yeah.... to people like you.

You think they were terminated because of the 22.4s being RPCD now?

 

[PPH_over_9000]

You think they were terminated because of the 22.4s being RPCD now?

Oh no, that's not what I meant. They've always done the things they were held accountable for, it's just that management decided to start holding them accountable shortly after the contract was ratified.

Things that were glossed over or resulted in a slap on the wrist in the past are suddenly things they want to terminate for.

I'm not saying that they're in the wrong, it's just that the timing is conspicuous. The workforce expanded (and started to get paid more) but the volume just isn't there to justify the # of workers, and it honestly feels like we're in the middle of a district-wide culling as a result.

I've noticed that here also. BA says it's because of the drop in volume. Easier to say bye and bring someone on later.

 

[PreTrippin’]

I thought the same thing. They reassigned me.

I filed on that language once when they cut my route for a day and blew me out all week thinking I couldn’t file. The result was they paid for over 9.5 on all days except the cut day. I don’t agree with that outcome but at a minimum that’s the same as reassigning on a Saturday.

At half the pay for 4 years.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

Yeah.... to people like you.

Because of people.... like you. I'm doing fine tough guy.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

Yeah.... to people like you.

Doesn't take much to trigger you does it tough guy?

Step up.

Be a part of the solution.... not part of the crybaby problem.

Already told you- doesn't affect me. But I really enjoy getting you worked up. It's kind of funny you have time to be on here this time of day. Real busy? No need to respond...

And you can run up and down the road with an earbud.... and I can't do the same ?

Nice try tough guy. What is an earbud? Does that remove your grampa ear hairs?

You should consider giving up while you still think you are winning tough guy...
