UPS is starving drivers and mass are quitting!

[Thebrownblob]

If I remember correctly. They had to agree upon a set amount of rpcd drivers. So maybe they have one or two more they agreed upon but they was not going to demote them backwards.
And if the company wanted any more 22.4 drivers for every position they created they would have to create three more rpcd drivers

At the end of the last contract, we sat down with the company and had a count of every RPCD that agreed-upon number could never be reduced.

At least that's one positive thing out of " the best contract ever".

That's funny because 40 years ago we had a 90 day progression to top rate.

I’m in my 35th year

i would have to check on that, there was anywhere from 5-9 year waiting time to get a full time route and full time classification, during that time you were just covering vacations and sick days. Work one day, off the next. It’s just the way it was. I believe the progression was 2 years at that time, talking late 80’s early 90’s.

However many RPCD positions were in your center at the time of ratification is how many minimum RPCD jobs they have to keep.

We had 284

Niiiice...



We had 27 lol

Expect an eight year progression...might as well add a couple of new inferior classifications to boot...

Huge pension boost for that deal? I'll vote yes!

I made top rate in 30 days. That was 1976. Another issue that somehow got out of control.

The 4 year wage progression is nothing more then a wage concession.

There have been 15 22.4 positions created in the last 3.5 years and not one has become an RPCD despite retirements.

Talk to your steward. He needs to get on the company to post the bids

That's the plan.

 

[Thebrownblob]

That's the plan.

We’ve had at least 30 move to RPCD

We have had several move into a 300 series job. What they call RPCD in my building. Have never heard the term RPCD except on BC.

Didn’t read the contract in almost five years?

Have you looked at the contract?

Think it’s supplement based where it’s agreed with each center how many rpcd will be in each building. Subject to change each contract. Can also change if need be

Thought 22.4s are automatically bumped up unless turned down then it goes to the next seniority

Well they put them up for a bid here.

 

[kforte36]

Strike all day.

Automatic by seniority here
