[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1070803, member: 42691"] True. The least senior drivers would get laid off. UPS has a # plan everyday, regardless of what kind of sense it might make. But my other point is about eight hour days. I'm sure you've seen this in your center. They don't pull down the routes scheduled for 8's, and instead of pulling down those routes, they offer these drivers the day off. And it's like a ball rolling down the hill, unless you slow it early, it's real tough to stop. And if you stand up and say, "Hey, I gotta work today, you need to pull me down for my 8." Then they fight you. The point is, most drivers just go home. Then soon, it's almost a de facto policy. And we made it, by laying down. Even though I'm in feeders now, where there are no 8HR days, the non-existence of 8HR days in PC still drives me nuts. And this is just one example of what UPS does to us. And again, we let it happen. So one guy--probably with more seniority than 90% of the drivers--takes a lot of days off, or needs work taken off his dispatch because he/she doesn't do as much work as the burner crowd. The newer drivers bitch and moan about this driver, probably on this forum. And they do it without ever picturing the day when that will be them. [/QUOTE]
