the company won't do it outside peak if the union slaps any kind of guarantee on it, it would be a total loser

No the union contract dictates WHO does the work and HOW MUCH they compensated for it.
Ups is essentially creating an entirely new job classification and the simple fact is the parameters of that classification must be negotiated

If that was the case 35 an hour is gone, benefits are gone, all the vacation we get is gone, people would actually be fired.

No, ups agrees to the terms of a contract. And may pay a penalty if they are found breaking any of those terms. It's UPS's choice, they own the company.

Wait until slightly bad weather days. Expect them to drive in a dusting of snow or touch of ice?

Ups chose to abide by those terms in the contract. If they break those terms there may be repercussions. That's all I'm saying. Just like any contract one might enter into.

That's an extremely shallow point of view. That's like saying you just have a contract for employment but you can choose to do whatever you want.

They are already allowing it. PVD at our center are getting $19/hr + 0.50 a mile.....sounds like the union doesn't give a

Here is some more evidence that I believe will lead this to happen.
1. Everyone is getting bigger trucks....all of ours are 800's. Why is this? Well it's because boxes are getting bigger and heavier on average. UPS initiative is pulling stuff off freight and giving it to us.
2. Because one 1, we will need people to deliver the small residential stops that are a waste of time and money for us drivers in massive vehicles with terrible fuel efficiency while paying overtime
3. The company invested in Orion which will probably be used through the app for PVD drivers. Will work well with a few stops. Also the app is pretty rock solid. There is no way they spent a ton of money developing the app simply for peak season.
4. Even if they pay these PVD's driver rate (which they won't) they would be saving money on insurance, liability, fuel, vehicle maintenance, training, etc.
5. This will cut our overtime and save the company money as well. We will be responsible for air, bulk stops, business, and pickups. I guarantee it.

You think that would work?

Until it's negotiated and voted on it's a pretty obvious outside contract agreement.
If your local won't take up the grievance then yes I would file Labor charges against them.

Lawyers and contracts exist for a reason. You know what happens when an Uber driver decides to skip on his pickup?

Or you can look at the bigger picture. In the US contracts are broken quite often. Many have loop holes and are up for interpretation. Like the ups-teamsters contract. You should be up in arm at yrcw.
