OK... lets try this again, for those who that think i have no integrity,or I am lazy.
i was asking seriously about my future.
i am far from lazy, i have several injuries because i work twice as hard and fast than others. that's my problem i don't know how to be a lazy union employee. i have no problem working friend.t. hours, sometimes the work is physically to demanding for my issues. so trying to do daily 365 would put me in painful n possibly disabling position. i don't feel the need to explain. although u feel need to pick apart the conversation.
i have busted my ass working a real job since i was 14. never had anything easy. i don't know what your air drivers do, but i do a lot and not ever easy work, yes the other 2 drivers i work with are perfectly able body guys that just don't wanna work. but i didn't want to throw under a bus. when i am not driving i do help with any thing and everything with n without being asked.
i thought this forum might help me know where i headed. i wish they would offer 22.3 job again, we have 2. they use them all day doing anything but what there job is,
they said the 22.4 would be a combination of my eam job and inside if needed. (then they lied.) they said you will be a (2nd tier) friend.t. driver working all weekends for less money than a friend.t. driver Mon thru Friday, eventually u can get to Mon thru friday. if i thought my body could done that i went back and qualified mon thru fri prior to 22.4. wasn't about lazy, it was about spreading out the continuous lifting an physical work across 8-10 hrs.
i have done friend.t. seasonal 150 stops 200 pkgs both summer and Christmas. several times. that's how i know what my body can and cannot take. so thank you very much. peace out,.

It's not called being a lazy union employee. It's called working like a human being.

I remember a black girl that was hired on twi as a loader. She told management the job was beneath that of a black person.

22.4’s are going to eliminate air driving positions. That’s what I see for the future.

Interesting... So new centers technically don't have any drivers so they can just skip RPCDs and hire only 22.4?
Apparently because hr said they won't be hiring anymore rpcds anymore. Only way to become one is by seniority when one retires, quits, or goes feeder.

Years ago they hired a black guy for a temporary Christmas driver. He worked 2 days then disappeared for 3. When they finally got ahold of him he said, "man you all don't work when it turns that cold do you?"---and promptly quit when they told him yes. After that they never hired another black dude at my old center for as long as I worked there. (I don't recall any of them applying for a job there either
). School teachers were another class of people who were very unreliable Christmas help when it turned cold. They wouldn't hire any of them either after a couple of bad experiences.

He just explained his reasons in a large paragraph but you were too lazy to hear him out.

Part timers will probably have a significant decrease in utility and driving except for busy times of the year like Christmas.
Although, you might even see an increase of part time utility work since all 22.4s will work on the weekend. You will still have Monday and Tuesday to help if needed. Possibly even Saturday and Sunday.
