At my building air drivers are delivering ground routes almost everyday. 10, 12, or 14 hours a day because they have no excessive OT protection. Mean while some regular ground drivers are going home after 7 hours (bonus ctr).
They should be getting top ground rate if they touch packages. File file file.
You would be getting ground pay all day. Why are you scared of that?
Its a pandemic. Show some compassion, man.
Company now says we will be paid ground rate only for the time we actually deliver ground packages unless we deliver ground for over 4 hours a day then we will be paid ground rate for the entire day.

what the company "say". What does your contract read?Air drivers work under Art 40 which supersedes all other Articles in either the master or the supplements. Always open to interpretation and sometimes that interpretation can change even after 40 years of past practice. Had a Union Steward tell me that seniority is only for bidding jobs or picking vacations.I don't give a
Some people simply don’t want the work.
Then I would have to file a grievance for you taking my work away from me if they didn't pay you the ground rate
Mostly for the EAM guys who then deliver 10:30 and 12:00 air commits and then run a ground misload on the way back to the building and want paid ground rate for 7 hours.
This same thing is happening to me and another air driver in our hub. It’s got to be written down somewhere correct?
The point of ground pay all day is to prevent these scenarios. File the grievance and take it to your local panel. The union should light up management real quick on the use of air drivers on ground delivery. As for this scenario the air driver could have shuttled misload to driver. Same as shuttling a bulk stop to a driver.
How many ground stops?
Unless things changed if an air driver delivers just 1 ground stop they get ground pay for the day.
I was wondering if bringing ground out to the drivers is a violation.
