I work out of the Gardena Bld. As of Monday all 3 centers are sending 100% of there cover drivers back to there hub job. Thats 30 guys that have lost there opp to driver witch sucks because they got used to the money and plus its Christmas time. I was told that after Xmas between 15-20 full time guys will be layed off as well. As a full time driver you have 3 choices Per the union contract. 1. You can take a layoff and collect un employment and your health benifts will expire the month following your layoff month. Exmpl if you are layed off Jan 5th your health benifits will run until Feb 30th the as of March 1st the will be cut. Option 2. You can diplace 1 part time employee in the Hub/Preload and work 4.0 hrs a day and keep your health benifits and get another job. Option 3 you can displace 2 part time employees and get your 8.0 hrs and keep your health benifits. I just got home from the union meeting and I am a shop steward and this is what information they have recived for Ups Per the layoffs in January. Just Thought I would share the information with fellow employees.
