[QUOTE="working up a sweat, post: 1454737, member: 37075"] I work night shift PT inside the hub for many years. So far they hired 33 in the last 4 weeks. 9 have quit already. Where I am at in an air hub without a 3.5 gaurenteed paid. We are gaurenteed 3.5 toward health and pension though. The average work week here is 10 hours. When peak hits, the hours will go up to about 20. The newbies get paycheck and take home about 50 dollars because they are paying the initation fee to the Teamsters. The noobs are only worked about 8 hours a week and sent home early. The seniority PT workers stay later and get more hours. Last year they hired about 40 and only 13 lasted to the end of peak. They rehired 12 of the 13. Of the 12, only 6 are left. The incentive to stay PT at UPS is the health benifits and the pension package. You have to make 5 years for the pension and 6 months for the health at my local. I got 9 years in the Teamster pension plan at PT and 5 years seniority (I am a re-hire). I make 13.20 an hour and make about about 8,000 a year. If you do the math and figure what my health benifits and pension time built up is worth, I am actually making well over 50 dollars an hour for my labor. Show up on time , never call out and work as directed and stay positive . Management will love you and retain you after peak. It's like trying out for the team. This is the best advise that I can give. [/QUOTE]
