USF Holland Multi-Region
Change of Operations
MR-CO-05-04/2004
The following is the decision
from the USF Holland
Multi-Region Change of
Operations MR-CO-05-04/2004,
which was heard April 20, 2004,
at a Special Hearing.
DECISION: The Company’s
proposed Change of Operations be
approved as modified and
clarified by the Company on the
record with the following
provisions:
1.
Based on the statements
of the Company on the record and
under current economic
conditions, this decision shall
have no adverse effect on the
number of bids at any line
driver domicile, nor will it
result in a layoff of drivers at
any domicile.
2.
As stated by the Company
on the record, there shall be no
use of leasors or third-part
logistics companies to move
traffic into or out of the
Wheeling or McCook domicile
within Holland’s operating area.
3.
Local unions that enjoy
single line seniority shall bid
in accordance with their
respective bidding practices in
multi-region change of
operations.
4.
Health and welfare and
pension contributions on behalf
of those drivers who elect to
relocate to a region outside
their present domicile shall
continue to be paid into the
trust such contributions were
being paid into immediately
prior to the time the driver
relocates.
5.
The Company’s proposed
pool bidding is approved.
6.
This decision shall not
serve to alter or amend the
conditions of the NMFA or any of
its Supplemental Agreements.
7.
Vacation schedules shall
be handled in accordance with
the applicable letter of
understanding.
8.
Based on the fact that
there will be no layoff of
drivers, the request of Local
480 for a window period is
denied; however, the Committee
shall retain jurisdiction of
this decision for a one (1) year
period. In the event there is a
reduction in the number of
current bids or a layoff, the
Committee shall retain
jurisdiction to determine if
such bid reductions or layoffs
are a direct result of this
change of operations.
9.
Based on the fact that
there are no bids from Atlanta
to Wheeling or McCook, the
current Local 728 bids shall not
be altered as a result of this
decision.
10.
The Company’s proposed
bidding date of May 2nd
and implementation date of May
9, 2004 is approved. However,
the Company is instructed to
cooperate with drivers who are
not able to report to their new
location on May 9th
and allow reasonable time beyond
the May 9th
implementation date.
