I got stuck doing two routes. Just 20 stops and 2 hours.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

I have a feeling I will be stuck here for awhile

Me too. Original plans were '18 contract for my 30th. But only 51. Now an extra 4 yrs for 55. So now I may go to 56. So I can finally get my 6th week vacation on the final yr

That and the 8 hour guarantee if it applies.

If I came in and discovered I had 30 mins of work instead of being able to leave town early morning to see family, there's no way I wouldn't get that guarantee. Lol. Put those couple stops on somebody else or you'll be showing me the monayyyyy!

I started young, that's part of the problem

6 weeks are fantastic

About 35 stops covered 3 guys areas, and ran 2 misloads... 4 hours of get it and go.... better then getting stuck to go shopping....

I was a casual for 10 yrs. No vacation or sick and rovers. The beginning of concessions by the union. For 28 yrs plus 4 weeks vaca

So you didn't get any vacation weeks as a casual? When you became permanent you didn't get vacation weeks towards your current position? That's weak language at best if you have to start over.

LOL. Showed up at 10:30am....Got EDD....10 stops. 10 dense stops close to the hub. Fired up the PC for 30 minutes and called it a day.....

Our EDD would not download so we had to go "old school".

Casuals never received vacation weeks. All seniority employees get credit toward vacation by their hours worked.

I would propose that any casual hired full time receives vacation accrual, back to when first hired.

I was a casual and we all knew the deal when we were hired.

Remember to bring that up at your locals proposal meeting. I'd rather all time worked as a casual/free period/summer vacation/svd...be deducted from progression.

This is the first intelligent thing that you have ever posted. I am sure it will be the last as well.

No. Nothing for 1st ten yrs.

 

[40 and out]

A

Before this contract it was 50/100
Currently it's 200/400

And look for it to probably double by the end of our next concession-filled contract.

Yes. But not for ten years. There are 4 others who are in our building. Then the casual language was removed 3 contracts ago. All start as part time since the change.

 

[40 and out]

No drivers had to work here. Volume dropped off a cliff yesterday like it used to. Totally unexpected and unlike the last few years.

No doubt

Or, delete all the old seasonal language altogether. Make them hire permanent. We don't have casuals here and it seems to be a way to prevent that from happening.
