Bid positions and designated responders

[Meliska14]

I work at a small center. For each part-time shift, preload or reload, the hazmat responder duties have been incorporated into that position if anyone wanted to do it. That has been the case for the last 12+ years, 10 of which I have been the designated responder. With this new contract, designated responders receive an extra dollar pay increase. During my recent hazmat certification, the instructor told the class that if I were to resign or quit that a bid sheet would have to be posted to fill the position because like I said the position now comes with a different pay rate. At our center the customer counter closed so they had to create a new inside position and with that they incorporated some part-time morning preload positions, including a pre-loader and designated responder. My question which I haven’t been able to find a definitive answer is how can a bid position such as the designated responder be automatically incorporated into a new job position with doesn’t include bid positions at my center, such as preloader, clerk and porter? In the contract, it says that those are preferred positions and as I understand they can be combined to create a new inside full-time position but can UPS automatically incorporate the designated responder position since it automatically comes with a different pay crease (like I mentioned). The reason they wanted to incorporate the designated responder role into the new full-time inside job is because they said I’m “getting too much overtime” and want to take the position away from me.

You need to talk with your steward, BA, and file a grievance.

Sounds like a mess glad I don’t have to deal with it!

Bottom line. Can the work be shifted to a full timer already on the clock?

You need to bid a ft job. Part timers are only guaranteed 3.5.
