[QUOTE="Just A UPS Guy, post: 3690157, member: 73174"] Even though you're sick of me, I wanna play. 1) I still believe "as long as work is available" should not be anywhere near our contract. I know that didn't change anyone's guarantee across the country, but it introduces an avenue for future exploitation. If it isn't a big deal to have it, it shouldn't be a big deal to get rid of it. 2) I think we all agree that 22.4 will primarily drive. Say I agree with you on the 22.4 being an upgrade to the PTCD. I know how they are used in many places and I can actually see how it can be viewed as an improvement. If they are creating a FT position, it should come with FT protections. They should have 8-hour requests and 9.5 protections at 4 years just like any other driver. I still feel that 22.4 is a concession, but I know quite a few PT's that are just as happy about it as I am against it. [/QUOTE]
