[QUOTE="WhereDoIWorkAgain, post: 1067438, member: 44948"] As to my earlier comment on meetings when, in the past few days a new sheet (dated 12/3/12) appeared on the board at my hub, detailing meetings for the next year (2013). They all take place on the first or second Sunday of the month at 10 am each month. Which wouldn't be bad for most of my people. Interestingly though it is in a less prominent location than the 2010, schedule which is still up, and there isn't a 2011 or 2012 schedule (I do think that there was a 2011 schedule up at one time and there are a couple of fliers on changing meetings on the board). I really should find out who is in charge of maintaining it or at least who as the key as it is in a locked glass case. As for pay, my feeling is that the part time wage needs to be a bit higher starting out. Where I am it is hovering right around min wage recent min wage increases. UPS still has a reputation as a good place to work and grow which we need to keep to keep getting strong employees to build with. When the fast food place or warehouse down the street will hire someone for about a quarter less an hour, and offer benefits in 30 or 90 days compared with a year, that is going to do away in fairly short order. This is especially true since in my region you are generally going to be looking at 3 or 4 years at least before you can move into a more stable position than part time loader/unloader/sorter.
