Our little extended center could easily have three but we don't. I amazes me how some buildings seem to get taken care of and others are just treated like dirt when it comes to certain things. That depends heavily on a building's manager and quality of the steward(s) working there. There are other buildings in this local that are even smaller than mine but have more 22.3s and feeder runs.
Without going into too much detail, we're
owed almost 50 22.3 jobs that have been vacated by promotions to driving, retirements, terminations, and deaths. I was hoping we'd get some national master or supplemental language at least keeping 22.3 jobs within the same local in which they were created, but that was scrapped from the NMA proposals early and I never saw any of it in our supplement.
There's a National 22.3 committee jointly run by IBT/UPS that I know virtually nothing about, but I'm fairly sure that the decisions to authorize/allocate
any new FT jobs (Package Car/Feeders/22.3) are made at the corporate/IBT package division director level.
Those decisions are being made so far above the division manager level that individual stewards (or even business agents) would have a minimal say in those jobs.
I wouldn't prefer it over a package deliver driver position. I think we all know the future of 22.3 jobs - layoff around the corner.
