So they dont want us to have a clear answer on this subject.....
Q: Our building in Ohio does not deliver on Saturday and Sundays. How are we going to be able to have decreased loads on weekdays to keep us under 9.5, and how will we protected under 9.5 when the new language says it only applies to buildings that utilize 22.4 combination drivers?
A: In buildings that do not implement weekend ground deliveries, you still have the improved language in Article 37. There is easier access to the list and an improved procedure for repeated violations. In buildings that do not have 22.4 drivers, the existing criteria for eligibility remain in effect.
And then.......
Q: Can you explain how the proposed 9.5 list will work?
A: The Union will now control the 9.5 process. This means that the union representative will use the center’s full seniority list as the “opt in” list unless individual drivers tell the representative that they want overtime, and do not wish to be on the 9.5 list. The representative will then remove that name from the list and present the final list to management. You are automatically on the list unless you want off. You can also get on or off the list at any time thereafter with one week’s notice to management.
