[QUOTE="quadro, post: 671381, member: 12850"] The UPS strike was about the pension fund. The part-time/full-time jobs issue might have come up but it was mostly about the pension fund. The problem today is that the decline in volume and stops at FedEx means that when a full-timer leaves, sometimes the best solution is to replace with a pt employee. Unfortunate but keep in mind, it's not always 2 pt people that replace the full-timer. When a pt employee replaces a ft employee, often that means shifting some work to the existing ft employees thus keeping them busy and employed. I'd rather my manager look out for existing ft employees rather than adding another mouth to feed, so to speak. And FedEx has no such obligation to keep ft slots ft. Also, don't pt UPS employees get less pay and benefits than ft UPS employees? And what's the average time it takes a UPS pt employee to get full time compared to a pt FedEx employee? If you don't know those answers, you might be somewhat surprised. But then that's what a contract gets you. [/QUOTE]
