A lot of M-friend folks forced in on Saturday call in sick on my center. You don't get docked a sick day, since Saturday is not a regularly scheduled work day. I've overheard drivers say flat out to sup's that they will be calling in sick on Saturday.
Don't you have an 8 hour guarantee?
Well that is incorrect. You are guaranteed 8 hours.
You are always guaranteed 8 hours, even as a 22.4. You should always code 06 and make sure you tell them you want your guaranteed 8
Nothing really scheduled. I flex anytime theres a hot chick around, even if the box is only 5 lbs
the poop boxes? , 5 lbs is a lot of poo
In my center when the enhanced ground started on Saturday, our business agent gave us all a talk in our pcm and said that our tcds are going to have to do the Saturday ground because it wouldn’t be fair to the full timers, can u believe that. So it was our understanding that we would be moved to Tuesday thru Saturday schedule. I was the only one not given that option to move even thou I’m one of the top tcds seniority wise. Now they expect me to work Monday thru Saturday while everybody under me is on a Tuesday thru Saturday schedule. I’m filing this week on it even thou our local sucks and I still haven’t gotten paid for christmas day grievance that I filedI’ve only filed a few grievances in the couple of years I have been a RPCD, I am in the Atlantic. I want to start filing on everything possible and want the other “junior” drivers to do the same so I am looking for advice. One steward doesn’t give aand the other really cares but isn’t too knowledgeable (newer) but to his credit, has been filing left and right and has our backs.
I am a M-friend driver and we have been forced a 6th punch since about March. We want to start filing on everything possible to send the message and make some changes. I filed on the fact that they aren’t using all RTD (regular temporary driver) on Saturday. They are using a select few and the others are not driving at all.
has anyone filed on the fact that they aren’t honoring the 5 consecutive work days? Forcing a 6th punch during non seasonal? Forced overtime? Forcing T-S drivers to work Monday and they run out of hours for their scheduled Saturday.
I’ve read the contract and our supplement many times and just looking for advice from drivers who Have had successful grievances settled. We just want to hammer it to the company but sadly, our union is pretty weak in the south. Looking to make a stand up against the company.
Well you need a full-time bid then
Or the union needs to enforce the contract, wouldn’t that make more sense
You are a cover driver, you are covering
Thanks to God for this. Our local refused PVD positions, and the company is hiring an amazing amount of drivers in our region. At least 50 drivers, last time I checked.I’ve only filed a few grievances in the couple of years I have been a RPCD, I am in the Atlantic.

Tcds are not to be used to supplement the work force, only as temporary replacements. Full timers need to be used for ground routes not tcds. Tcds are only to be used to cover vacations and call ins. My problem is not working saturdays, my problem is I’m top tcd seniority wise and I’m the only one that wasnt given the option to move to a Tuesday thru Saturday schedule Even thou I made it very clear that is what I wanted.
Your BA needs to file a grievance saying we need more regular drivers
Our BA literally told us that they were going to wait until October to see how the volume was going to be until they did anything
Our BA file grievances months ago over this issue, Lord knows how long it's going to take from be heard.
We're going to need them. They also need to order some new package cars
