[QUOTE="Jackburton, post: 826461, member: 34538"] 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. 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. [/QUOTE]
