If your aim is to create and maintain as many full-time positions as possible, then the idea sucks. I agree.
But, if your aim is to create a work environment that is less physically taxing on the body, more opportunistic for those earning less money, and allows for more time off, then the idea may be something worth considering.

It's funny to watch in our building (125) routes T-S how 15-20 drivers race through their day in order to punch out prior to 5 and we have another 15-20 drivers filing 9.5s weekly. When I ask why the dispatch can't be evened out to reduce the excess overtime, I'm told the grievance money comes out of a different pocket. Each management segment seems to care only about their numbers and not the over all company or heaven for bid the labor agreement.

I disagree. If you want to create a less physically taxing job for everyone, more opportunities for PT workers and have more time off then you create more FT jobs.
With more FT jobs, people making less and want the opportunity to go FT won’t have to wait as long. With more FT jobs, more routes are in and less work on everyone. With more FT jobs you may have the choice, if you want, to take a dead day if you are so inclined.
Allowing more PT jobs or PVD’s are not an answer that would benefit the union employees, it would only benefit the company.

Allowing more PT jobs and turning them over several times a year benefits the Union coffers.

Yes, I know I'm working late.
Haven't you been part time for 40 yrs working full time hrs? "Rescuing" full time drivers from over 8 hrs work? All 3 of them in your center.
Ps: the cars are nasty as hell.

I agree. But his argument is that PVD’s is the best way to make it easier for FT’ers and PT’ers to make more money. I don’t think he’s right.
I don't pay over $1,200 a year in Union dues for scabs to take away my overtime

Driver's over the age of 55 have to recite the DOKs weekly and have a eye exam every 6 months.
