Deferred Delivery?

[Brownslave688]

That’s what matters. How was the route bid.

 

[upsjack]

Exactly the same as it was when bid?

I think it shifted some during Covid. But i think they only go back to the last 30 days to get the baseline of the route now.

Is the route EXACTLY the same the other 3 days?

Doesn't have to be EXACTLY the same.

A little different than trying to come up with an additional 10% to try and reach the 50% bumping language.

If everybody's area is completely changed, with some eliminated, then rebid. If only a few routes are changed, or eliminated, then only rebid those. Here, only about 10 routes out of 120 changed enough for a bump. We're not rebidding all 120 routes.

3 out of 5 days doesn’t even reach the threshold to be a bid route does it?

It was someone's bid route. They are now making a temporary change on a weekly basis by cutting it one or two days a week. The real question becomes does this driver have permanent bumping rights because his route is out one or two days a week?

I'm sure it's already been ruled on. Ask @BigUnionGuy

Permanent bumping rights is the question I’m trying to get answered.

So I thought there was an agreement about areas not being cut Monday or Friday?

We have several communities cut on Friday. Nothing on Monday.

Yep. Don’t know where I had heard that but we have a list of tues thurs and then wed Friday. Boy do we have some pissed businesses that aren’t getting stuff on Fridays.

It’s my understanding that rural deferment is still in the trial phase, and only in select locations. I’m pretty sure our kissazz center manager volunteered us.

This one is gonna be at the center raising hell lol. No idea if they’re calling in actual complaints.

Holding stops =/= changing route

Cutting your route is not changing it.

I know it's BS but that's the hill the company will die on

All joking aside, any reaction, statements, etc from the union in response to rural delivery service cuts? As I said before, it is somewhat easy now using with social media to generate negative press against the company for doing this.
