Hopefully when the next contract is negotiated the date will change to Aug 1 2024 and then moves up 5 years every contract after that. Just because someone wasn't an RPCD before that date doesn't mean they should work tues-sat the rest of their career.
I believe they did it for the current drivers that were FT before the last contract implemented 22.4’s. 22.4 was intended as a flex/weekend position. By making anyone who was hired as a 22.4 they now get all the same RPCD protection but start as the weekend staffing.
As guys retire, at least in my building, Tues-Sat drivers will get the chance to bid Mon-Fri routes. I don’t think they will need to change the language, it will happen naturally as veteran RPCD’s retire.
