RPCD hires off the street after the new contract

[...]

Not just my center its the whole building. About 15 in all total. I filed 2 grievances on the matter. When the book says one thing and the company does another and then the union doesn't back you what route do you have to get the position you earned? The union told me its all political and they won't do anything?

ULP maybe?

We didn't have a 22.4 when they were hired. But they were hired after the ratified contract

If they were hired before you had 22.4s then how did they violate the contract?

22.4 language only applies if you have 22.4s.

ULP maybe?

Yes if they are not enforcing the contract that a ULP or DFR would be the next step.

Its going to be 5 years before my center hires anymore RPCDs

My building has already transferred several 22.4 drivers to FT drivers due to retirements and FT moving into Feeder jobs. There will come a point where 22.4 will be trapped for the next 10 years or more waiting to go FT. Just like PT waiting for a FT driver opening years ago.

so as of April 30th 2019 the 6 for 1 hiring is null and void when it comes to hiring an RPCD which is a mon thru fri driver. The new contract states no rpcd position can be filled by an outside hire unless bidding procedure was exhausted. They can hire off the street but they must be hired as a 22.4. Anyone on here seen any off the street hires for rpcd since April 30th 2019. I filed a grievance on this but the union told me they won't do anything it will costs the company millions of dollars in back pay, while us insiders who have been working and waiting on a bid, which never came. Therefore displacing quite a few of us into 22.4 roles, and awarded the open rpcd positions to off the street hires.

now the whole time the contract bs was going on they hired about 15 people off the street into rpcd spots May thru Sept. That is what I filed on because they never offered a bid

If they were hired before you had 22.4s then how did they violate the contract?

Seems like they hired 15 drivers off the street without putting up a bid for insiders.

That is a issue if they didn't follow the 6-1. I doubt they hired 15 off the street driver's and the local allowed it. I think that's a exaggeration

Oh I agree. Everyone knows off the street hires are just above scabs... Isn't that right @MyTripisCut @Brownslave688

The issue in my eyes is if they did follow the 6-1 and they were all before hiring 22.4 than I don't see the violation.

Well we hired 10 off the street before but no part timer wanted the job lol

 

[542thruNthru]

And you have no 22.4s

 

[Brownslave688]

And you have no 22.4s

And this was years ago

 

[Brownslave688]

There’s no off the street hires with 22.4 right?

 

[542thruNthru]

There’s no off the street hires with 22.4 right?

Yes there is

 

[542thruNthru]

 

[Fido]

Honestly don’t think anyone has a clue what’s going on. Center manager said no more rpcd will be hired, only 22.4. 2 weeks later there’s a list up for 4 full time positions, 2 22.4 and a temporary driver list with no cap placed on it

 

[Brownslave688]

i meant no number anymore like 6-1

 

[542thruNthru]

i meant no number anymore like 6-1

No that's still in the contract.
