[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1065622, member: 42554"] Looking at some of the Seniority lists I saw two in 2012 from Scottsdale Center and mostly 2008 & 2007 friend/T dates in the other Centers. I noticed that roughly 5% in each Center could retire today but almost 1/3 will be eligible by 2020 at the latest. Tempe tried to do without hiring new drivers in first few years after the strike & into the 2000's. That building was bursting at the seams with volume and there was finally some movement around 2002 and more when the Mesa building opened in 2004. That building was at capacity 6 months after it opened then it was doubled in size two years later. The problem with the East Valley is that we deliver a lot more than we pick up and we all know how UPS sees that end of the equation. A lot of the drivers trained after 2006 were pushed back into part-time after the Great Recession in 2009 and it made it all the way up to the Feeder drivers hired in 2006. Those drivers were only hired after we won a huge grievance against subcontracting. You have the same thing going on with Amazon right now which could add upwards of 37 new sleeper runs (twice returned from National) and as you can imagine that will create lots of opportunities downstream. So basically I'm saying hang in there and keep asking the Company why they are subcontracting our work which is keeping you from a good full time job. [/QUOTE]
