[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1135117, member: 29553"] As I hear it, this opens up more vacation time. Now each center will have to have 15% out ever week from Memorial Day thru Labor Day. Right now WE ALREADY HAVE PART TIME DRIVERS in the form of air drivers doing ground. Thats been around for years (Old board allowed THAT in our contract). Having part timers become COVER DRIVERS allows them to be put on a quicker path to FULL TIME DRIVER. I know monies would not be put into H/W as well as pensio fund BUT RIGHT NOW when someone off the street covers a route, no monies go in either. Or when supervisors cover a vacation route in the summer, no monies go in. Also, it should stop the RDOs that mngmnt gives to younger guys in the summer. More younger guys will get summer vacation. Plus Im hearing that these cover drivers will be getting $21/hr and if they enough days, even during peak if more new drivers are needed, they (the cover drivers) will not have to do 40 in 70 again to make FULL TIME book. This is not a bad thing here. It helps solve a few problems at once. [/QUOTE]
