Re: Bids for Nov. 1 to Jan. 4
When figuring out bids, I was
under the assumption that the “bridge hours” between moves were not
counted. We adopted that rule with a Letter
of Agreement for this past summer. I was
unaware of the expiration date when going through the bidding process.
The company wishes to keep
all bids, inclusive of paid hours between moves, to a maximum of 45 hours to
limit their exposure to overtime during the slower times of the year. This affected quite a few drivers.
As a result, the company
wishes to go through the bids and adjust those totaling over 45 paid
hours. As the Company goes through the
roster, changes made to some drivers’ bids will affect junior drivers’
bids. Those affected drivers will then
have a chance to adjust their bids.
I apologize for not
remembering that the Letter of Agreement expired. By making these adjustments, we will now
conform to the CBA. I am very sorry if
this has affected you in a negative way.
Sincerely,
Paul
