[QUOTE="hiro, post: 1014512, member: 5768"] My UPS experience has mostly been with hub and other functions, so I obviously don't have much experience with drivers and on car sups, but I would like to discuss your thoughts on how it would relate to the hub. (sort of) By the same reasoning, you would agree with eliminating 22.3 jobs in favor of two pt union jobs, correct? Now, I doubt you really feel that way, but it seems to be typical UPS mentality to want to eliminate ft jobs. In the case of two pt sups to replace a ft on car sup, the salary would be significantly lower, but you would have more benefit costs. You would also get at most 11 hours of work from two pt sups where I'm sure some on car sups work much more, unfortunately. If anything, I believe it would benefit UPS to create more FT jobs from PT jobs in both management and union. The big problem, in the hub anyway, with creating more 22.3 jobs is the significant downtime between sorts. Even with the 1 hour lunch for the 22.3's, there is still about an hour of wasted time. I don't know what the solution would be, other than the union to agree to a longer unpaid lunch in exchange for more jobs? I'm not even sure the union members would want that, but I think there are a lot of good employees at UPS that would like to have a quicker chance at a FT job. By creating more FT jobs, you would reduce turnover, and also more than like improve the pool of applicants. Let's face it, the starting salary isn't (relatively) what it once was, and the old UPS line of "benefits for pt's" is becoming increasingly unattractive. The same could be done for PT sups in the hub. Allow them to work two sorts. Yeah, they would be getting paid for around 10 hours of work per day, but you would have better supervisors and only be paying benefits for one employee. I'm sure there's some great reason's against it that I'm not aware of. And this is also way off topic lol. [/QUOTE]
