Oh I know that. For a while I was going out with a FT sup everyday running a ground route being basically a runner at top driver rate. The Union put a stop to that and a couple of laid off delivery drivers had a large grievance check. Since is not the same thing.
Lol, I said I want to learn and you tell me I don’t. Ok
Does not happen everyday. Only on an exception bases.
The company isn’t making a full time position because they would have to pay more pension money.
And perhaps currently that’s true but according to you over the last few years, you’ve worked over 2200every year because of this work, that’s more than a lot of package car drivers
Ok, and I’m a loader, unloading is not my job. So it wrong for me to pick up double shifts?
Oh, come on now. Nobody cares let’s just let the company do whatever they want who is hurting? I mean why would the union go to all the trouble of creating oversight committees?
Loading and unloading are not defined in the contract as classification jobs. They are work instructed and are interchangeable. jobs Sorry try again.
Maybe that's because you're delivering packages all the time?
The company will argue that it is a daily or seasonal fluctuation in volume and does not justify another FT position. The same thing they say when I help with deliveries or pick ups.
Now what if there wasn’t such a large gap between full time and part time workers, wouldn’t that make the company want to create more full time jobs?
Define "all the time"?
Enough for them to realize you won't be there to do your assigned job very often.
Yet we have 22.3 positions that are loading/unload, so how does that work?
Sorry, we already have contractual language to hire seasonal full-time drivers and vacation coverage. Please try again.
That was the Unions position when they first allowed PT package handlers. The problem is all of these new guys think this is the way things have always been with minimum wage PT Union members. It isn't.
I am beginning to think you are on the companies negotiating team. You sure bring up all of their talking points.
More double talk.
So what’s the difference to you though? I thought this was about taking away full time jobs? How is me doubling as much as possible not taking away a 22.3 job? That’s a full time job.
