When's the last time your center has a hired a RPCD?

[JustDeliverIt]

Ya it's ridiculous. I work in Illinois and in the center I am in drivers are retiring but 22.4 drivers are not being converted.

Here's what you have to figure out. They are allowed to have 25% of the drivers as 22.4. If they didn't have the full 25%, the retirements might not have pushed them over. Something you have to talk to your BA/steward about. If the percentage is above 25% file some grievances to get things moving.

Our center has had guys slide up, but we have had quite a few retirements the last 18 months. Most guys aren't getting to their third year of progression before sliding up. Retirements are starting to slow down, so will 22.4's moving up to RPCD.

The first year is 20.50. The top rate for regular is 41.00. 50% less.

He saying it’s only $.50 an hour first year when you’re in progression. Of course the top scale driver makes more than someone in progression.

 

[kforte36]

Ya that makes sense. In my center there haven't been many retirements the past 2 years. Only 2 drivers.

 

[burrheadd]

It's such bull****. They do more stops than regular drivers for 50% less pay. The regular drivers still complain about their routes even though they can do them with their eyes closed.

You can always quit

 

[kforte36]

I can. Something I may think about. No one is forcing me to work for the company

 

[burrheadd]

Why so much hate for 22.4 drivers? They do the same job as you, more stops than you and are paid much less. Not all of them are bad. Many are just as good as the "regular" drivers.

If they were as good they wouldn’t be twenty two four

 

[kforte36]

Level of skill doesn't matter though. Just because a regular driver has been doing the job longer doesn't always mean they are more skilled.

Ya it's ridiculous. I work in Illinois and in the center I am in drivers are retiring but 22.4 drivers are not being converted. Your point also assumes that 22.4 drivers would be converted at all. It may never happen.. With the part time wage increases we would get in addition to the 30.64, the pay would be $35. So not terrible but should be the same for doing the same job.

Read your contract. They can only have 25% 22.4. RPCD is awarded based on seniority. As drivers retire, they would have to convert 22.4's assuming they bid on the RPCD positions.

A RPCD IS SIMILAR TO A NAVY SEAL
1/1,000,000,000 make it

Ya in my center rpcds can come in Saturday and make $60 an hour every week. Some refuse but then complain their paychecks are too small.

I do agree that anyone who can't drive stick should take 33 stops off me no matter their title

It’s the other way around at my Building. The 22.4’s get babied & hack up routes while the RPCD’s do the job right. After vacation I always have 2-3 driver follow-ups & other bs to clean up

 

[UnionStrong]

The Few… the Proud… The RPCD.

The jealousy runs deep in that one…
