I am curious why there is so much late air. 15 years ago it was fairly rare.....meet points now and then.
I'm sure there are reasons too numerous and complicated to go into here. Mainly, the air-traffic system. Of which every delivery company is bound by.
For example: Amazon and Fed Ex use a cargo feeder airport right next to a hub. UPS does not. Their departures leave all night long. Big Airbus/Boeing cargo planes....one after another. From a much less congested airport than we use. BTW, this(UPS) hub was built well after the airport. Amazon just built theirs right on the airfield....ours? Nope.

They are basically second class package car drivers, paid less and no bidding rights add that lovely 4 year progression...no COLA or wage increases till after the progression..
Most of these 22.4’s are hired off the street so they start at 20.50 about half what a RPCD makes.
The general drift that we were getting from the previous administration was they were going to work half inside and then go on the road.. the Company found a loophole and started to hammer these new guys with extra road work...most of them never worked inside, strictly driving...
We got lied to..and voted the last contract down, ratified by the good old boys because they knew best...

I remember our Local telling us 22.4 would eliminate unwanted overtime. These drivers would start later and take work off those who needed help. We'd never have to worry about excessive OT again!
That was a lie

On a long list of lies.
And that's exactly why I voted No

Rpcds don't recieve wage increases until after progression either and their progression starts at 21. So its not that much different in that regard.

Just another concession. Like the two tier PT wage was just the beginning. Followed by Art 40 and the multi year progressive wage.
Amongst many other concessions

The list goes on and on. Which is why I have no confidence in next years contract changing anything.
I don't know how good the contract is going to be but I guarantee you it will not be bad as the last two

No disrespect but how much is your guarantee worth?
Shiloh Bryan was kicked out of the negotiations for his current contract because he was being too hard for the company.
No Hoffa to stop him this time

How bad will the new hires get shafted on next years contract?
Hopefully not as bad as this current contract
