[QUOTE="tarbar66, post: 802618, member: 1868"] I made seniority as a full time hub employee back in 1974. I called it a nice job because back then it was. We had a great start time, our hours were 11:00 to 20:00. The trailers and building were hot in the summer and cold in the winter for the unloaders, loaders, small sort, rewrap and irreg people. If you had a pick off or sort postion there were considered the best jobs. There was only 1 clerk postion per shift and it was non union because they did payroll and reports that management didnt want to do. The full time day hub was eliminated when New Stanton opened. Your choice was to follow the work 100 miles away in hub-package or feeders, stay in town to work midnight and preload if you had enough seniority. UPS was a kinder, gentler place back then. Needless to say I did not move but filled in on feeder vacations or the extra board in the local until there was a full time opening in package. That took over 2 years. I hope you guys reach some kind of agreement to keep your hourly wage and benefits like we were able to. [/QUOTE]
