And they [Twinkies] last forever.

Oddly enough, their shelf life is only 45 days. And that is a new formula. Under original Hostess ownership it was 26 days. So half the stuff in the grocery store actually has a longer shelf life than Twinkies. Weird how they became famous for "lasting forever".

Hello, I have been having trouble recently with my pay rate at UPS.

Little background to the story;

I was a shifter that bidder into TCD feeder and won the bid and started working as a TCD feeder in Feburary. After around 2 months I was laid off and put back into the Hub. I then got a call after signing the part time to full time bid sheet offering full time driver opportunity so I took it. Wentthrough training and graduated progression.

One week after my graduation there was no work for me so I was offered to work in the hub for my 8 hours. I went into HR and was told that since Feeders needs peoplebecause there is so much work and they were also hiring 30 new drivers that I could go back and work there until they don't need me anymore. So I started about a month and a half ago doing feeders again.

I then started noticing my checks where still getting paid as progression driver rate, not the TCD rate that I have been getting paid (85% top pay) and after numberous greviences and payroll trying to adjust my pay rate, the financial department will not give me my TCD rate because they say since I'm full time in package car that TCD doesn't apply to me. Although I am not a full time feeder, they say I'm getting loaned out to work for feeders.

Another problem is that my hub is hiring 30 new TCD drivers telling them they will be making 85% too pay but I just talked to a couple of full time package car drivers that finished their TCD training and they all said they got paid their progression rate.

My question is, am I supposed to be getting paid my TCD that I signed up for or progression rate?

Also would I be qualified as a red circle driver since I have been a TCD for 6 months?

I also don't understand why UPS lies to its employees...

So between the time you started as a TCD feeder in February and the time were laid off, you definitely got your 30 days (6 weeks) in?

I'm reading this as you were an eligible TCD for 8 weeks at the very max. Once you win a FT bid, all that matters is the number of punches you've had specifically as a temp driver. If you didn't make 30, your banked days count toward progression but you're not red circled and it's not enough to bump you up from the base rate.

Those 30 new TCD drivers are probably off street seasonals and not permanent PT employees temp driving. Where I am, perms that TCD get 85%. Off streeters stay at the bottom rate.

No idea how TCD feeder pay actually transfers over to FT ground driver though. Never heard of TCD feeders. Just speaking from my own experience as a former permanent part time TCDer running routes.
