40 years of concessions and now you think the Teamsters rank and file are ready for a strike? LOL. Maybe a few low seniority hot heads (with good reasons).
Drivers: who else is permanently coded 05 (pay actual)?

Out of those 40 years....
How many years were you complicit, in aiding the company to violate the contract ?

Never. I work as directed like the contract demands. The Ctr manager wanted me to take over a route one day and when I said no the Union told me I had to work as directed.

Oh and you forgot the part about file later. A 40 year employee like you should know how this works, the company certainly can violate your contractual rights and the contract in general as long as you don’t file.
I’m well aware of part-time air drivers who enjoy making driver ground pay About 80% of the time, basically side deals with management. Then when they want to go home they throw a fit.
Thankfully that’s where I come in and find out they’ve been doing the job for more than 30 days in the 90 day period.

In the mean time the company charges me with job abandonment. Couldn't make it stick. Good to have the Union to back me up. LOL

I'll just continue to get paid. If the Union and company don't like it they can do something about it. In the mean time not too many people can say they have a $90k/yr PT job.

And you continue to complain about the union even though you don’t do your due diligence To enforcing the contract, by filing a grievance. You are the problem. Not too many people can say they crap all over their fellow brother and sister and are happy about it, even to the point of saying it’s not their problem. I find it funny how you badmouth the union while you purposely work outside the confines of the contract helping the company. Congratulations.

Why would it be job abandonment if you worked first and filed after? Is this really that complicated for you or do you just like to pretend you’re this inept?

They don't do that where I am but I did have my center manager come to me once when I had a G8 and say don't crush it and come in early. Call if I need more work to get my 8.
I was like really?? So you're going to push me to the limit and risk me going over my 8 and then have a g8 grievance onnyour hands instead of just letting me come in and go home?
Oooook whatever.
I don't remember the last time I signed the code 5 sheet though. It's been a while. Even if I come in under I just punch out and get paid for 8. But I'm usually close enough to 8 that they don't say anything about it.

Except the part that you can’t make $90k with PT hours at UPS. Smh

If it makes you happy, I turned down a ground route today for an out of town air route. Letting some of the other PT air drivers make some money. See if I don't take the work another PT will.

PT supervisor says that is not our job. As she is watching Net Flicks on her phone all night. Some of the FT car washers take a 2 hour paid lunch everyday.

What kind of work do you do.... to get your 3.5 hr guarantee ?

No one is upset that a part time air driver does ground work on occasion.
The problem lies with people like you who take advantage and continue to let the company do it year after year day after day without filing a grievance.
You are working outside of your classification continually costing another person a full-time job as well as a full-time pension.
You are the problem the union has enforcing the contract, any complaints from you should be thrown right in the trash because you’re completely self-serving.

Good thing I wore my brown pants
Where in the contract does it say you have to ask for more work past your dispatch to make your G8? Thats my answer to my sup.
