Yea it will never happen when they can just keep running drivers through the meat grinder and document there mistakes. That's your buy out.
How do you know what his birth certificate looks like? No one has seen it!looks like Obama's birth certificate......
I think far more likely is the scenario where UPS would offer a "contract signing bonus" to get the two tier pay in place. Bonus would have to be substantially more than the $1000 one in the 80's. Watch the our/us Teamsters sell out our fellow worker in a heartbeat for a big enuf bonus.
Must have got lost I havent seen it, Must have got lost via Kenya.C'mon tooner, I sent it to you this afternoon.....did you get it?
Full time got 1000, pt got 500 to sign the contracts, signing bonuses.For those of us that are younger UPSers... what was "the $1000 one in the 80's"?

Not that I am aware. I think you are confusing management bonus, two weeks pay for the extra hours they put in at Christmas, with the 1000ft 500 pt signing bonus we were offered at contract time.Wasn't that Xmas bonuses given out yearly?

Quick.....................buy me out before I get any more stressed!!!! Oops!.......I forgot...I'm retired,no more stress.
The problem is as I see it in my hub is the amount of work. Full timers will go home if given the opportunity. Part time drivers then work two or three days as thier lifestyles aren't accustomed to the ft driver pay, thinking it's just gravy if they work one day as a cover driver. The reason the FT guys go home is they work 10-11 hours a day for 4 days and they make their "2 year ago" check before the workload increase.No need for a buyout. The Teamsters already offered a sell-out. They allow UPS to lay off full-time employees and have part-timers work up to twelve hours each day. We are our own worst enemy.

This not only prevents them from filing 9.5s (don't rock the boat) but also prevents them from moving more pt people to FT positions. If every FT bid driver and Swing driver worked, there would be more routes in. As it stands they let the slower drivers that do it by the book go home and slam thier routes full when they throw a pt runner gunner on it. In doing this they are also able to cut routes and circumvent the seniority system.
I personally am a "by the book"'driver and don't go home when asked to. I work the long hours and file my over 9.5's. The problem is as people like myself vanish under the pressure of the workload, or as the driver workforce refuses to file, why would ups bother doing a buyout when people just lay down to the company? What happens when just a handful of us file on contract violations and our membership gets weak? What does ups have to lose by telling us to take the contract and kill flys with it? Might be mentioning I'm in Georgia, a right to work state.
