Wouldn't it be cheaper to layoff fulltime drivers then bring in a bunch of Christmas drivers to do the work at LESS pay? I know it's not right, but well, this is UPS...
Cheaper--yes.
A total cluster friend*--most certainly.

I'm sure it would be "cheaper"... but it would also be a gross contract violation, and every seniority employee who was laid off could file a grievance and be paid for all hours worked by a peak season hire. Whoever told you that UPS would be laying off drivers on Dec. 1st is either misinformed or stoned. If you are a seniority driver and you get laid off, then you are entitled to work before any off the street helper can be hired.
