[QUOTE="just chillin', post: 802454, member: 33261"] my nice inside job huh. please dude, this is a HORRIBLE thing happening to decent hardworking fulltime veterans. i was a fulltime preloader, midnight to nine in the morning for 20 years. i paid my dues with a 5 or 6 car assignment on a boxline and my herniated discs . with the 1500 or so packages i loaded every night plus the 2 hours on the slide sorting, i figure i humped more weight in my career than any driver out there. and NONE of us clerks as far as i know where ever drivers. in my area drivers can't and as far as I know never could bid on clerk jobs. only jobs drivers bid on are customer counter clerks, porters and carwashers. address correction clerk jobs where only open for bid to FULLTIME preloaders. for fulltime work and to stay in my same building, i am willing to do whatever job is offered to me. problem is, unless there's clerk work for us to do on a fulltime basis somewhere in the whole local, UPS is not offering ANY fulltime work to us. not preload, not driving, not anything. 4 1/2 hours of middle of the night preload work is all our contract says they have to give us. oh and to answer the question of who i blame? well i blame myself for not memorizing each and every word of the contract before i bid on a job.
