I would be happy to if I only knew what the hell you were talking about.

It ain't easy to confuse Upstate (free smiley)

Probably gonna piss of a few people, but thats what I do best. Why are there different rates for full time employees? For example, package car/feeder/inside are all different. I think seniority should prevail instead of someone with half my seniority making $5 more than me because they sit in a truck and I don't. Union needs to get this one right.

Uhhhh. if thats your logic then all part timers should also get paid just as much. Hell ya. Why shouldn't I be making $22/hr loading if the combo guy i'm loading next to is making $22/hr? its the same job isn't it? Me thinks there is a reason why though.

 

[brownrodster]

Same point to you as others are making to corycar7: if you think it's such a great deal, bid back inside. You can try to work until you're 80 that way, if you want. Who's stopping you?

There are only a few of these jobs in my hub. New openings are only open to PT bid and not open to full time bid in our supplement. Only vacated 22.3's are open to FT bid. You had to have major PT seniority to score one of these 22.3 jobs. Guys who could have been drivers well before I even hired on with UPS are the type of people who get these jobs.

If I had the opportunity to become 22.3 I would have taken it. Now that I'm FT I'm just waiting to get into feeder. Feeder will come before a vacated 22.3 job does.

Pardon my ingnorance but the title "22.3" and it's accompanying job is not used in my neck of the woods. I'm sure we have those jobs but I don't know what it is.

So you think feeder is even more of a scam than 22.3?

 

[brownrodster]

uhh, what ? No. If 90% of feeder drivers did it for 8.50$ an hour and I was one of the lucky few doing it for 28$ an hour then yes I think I would be scamming UPS.

Why pay a guy 23$ an hour to drive a truck to the airport. Then sort smalls all night. When there are many people with much worse and more difficult positions working for 8.50$ an hour. Those easy / easy combo jobs are a joke. I'm glad they exist. And glad UPS made more full time jobs. And I would love to sort smalls and drive to the airport for 23$ an hour and only work 8 hours per day. But I wouldn't feel as though I was contributing to the success of the company by any means.

if you don't do it, then don't comment about it. IMO

The only people doing two "easy" jobs are stewards in our building, and maybe a few management pets that have been around forever.

Everyone else has at least one difficult job, if not two (if management really doesn't like you they try to make 22.3s quit by favoring the P/Ters giving them easy loads or work assignments and giving the 22.3 the worst)

you have no idea what yo're talking about on this one.

 

[gypsy mcgee]

nice take sleeve!

 

[UnconTROLLed]

What"s the logic behind that?

In this area, newly created jobs are open to P/T bid only. The opening of existing 22.3, pkg, feeder etc are only bid on by friend/T employees. these are actual bids from an extension of our biannual bidding. Since there's no new 22.3 jobs being created anymore, there sure as heck won't be many available to P/Ters.

 

[gypsy mcgee]

there won't be another pt to ft around here for a long time. every vacated job will be filled by an existing ft employee

 

[fethrs]

The union has gotten this one right! I am understanding that there is no easy job at ups. However do not compare what a full time 22.3 does inside the building to what a package car or feeder driver does. There is no comparison, and that is not a knock on our hard working 22.3s by any means and they know that. If any of these 22.3s wanted more money they would bid into a driver position or feeder.

If 22.3s were paid the same as package, ups would never be able to hire any more package drivers, no one would do it! JMO

I agree with 705 Red as I am a full time 22.3 inside/inside. I don't mind the drivers making more money, the work they do it much harder and more stressfull in many ways. I was a driver for a while and it was hard and stressfull compared to what I do now. I don't make as much money but I don't mind if I wanted to make more money I would put my name on the list.

I will translate.: Will someone pound this person (corycar7) in the head and tell him to grow up? Let him go fulltime, if he has the balls to drive, and let him feel the pressure.

I've done both air shuttle and small sort. I am more than qualified to comment on a position that combines the two. Cakewalk.

I just don't understand why a full timer is not allowed to bid a newly created job open if it is a different full time position. The full timer should have first opportunity then the part timers. Why would a P/T have more claim to the job than a friend/T? That language in your supplement seems weird and I don't understand what purpose it would serve not to allow a full timer to bid a newly created full time job?

 

[fethrs]

I guess i'm part of the scam, not laid off, no lost hours, inside all day and home by noon.(I was laid off for a year or so but got "new" job) I do my fair share of package handling too.
