That wouldn’t be happening in a large feeder Dept but that
goes under the radar in centers where there is only one feeder and a backup ...

They are giving some ridiculous high bonuses to seasonal feeder drivers and good hourly rate... comes out to more than what we are making...

If they were running gypos or casuals before our own guys here they would be getting paid every time...

We were told that helpers would get $100 a week bonus just for working five days here.

That's exactly it.
The Central States plan had pretty stringent re-employment rules.
The new UPS/IBT plan only had 2 requirements....
You can't work for UPS or a subsidiary, and your Local Union.
They waved that rule.

Retired 22 years
We have a retired hourly employee breakfast on the 1st Tues. every month at Perkins. They set up a big table for us in the back and one of the retired drivers ex-wives waits on us. In the history of our center there has only been 25 employees who have retired. UPS started here in 1962 I believe. We usually get about a dozen to 15 to show up. It depends on the time of year. A lot of them go south for the winter. The 1st guy ever to retire still makes it for most of the year. Three others have died. (retire as SOON as you can because you never know when your time is up). When I first started this get together 17 years ago we did talk UPS crap a lot but now days UPS seldom comes up. Basically all we do is solve the worlds problems and make up lies about what exciting lives we live. We have been know to every once in a while stay to long so we end up going to a saloon for a beer or 2.

He’s a backup feeder driver... shouldn’t they be working before a casual???

Yes the only time retirees should be working is after everybody currently on the seniority list is working
The way I understood it

I know that they have to use every driver on our backup list first and we have dozens on that list...

Light 'em up!
He is working. In packages.
He is a package driver on the qualified list for feeders.
During the rest of the year, he stays in packages when there are no feeder jobs to cover.
During peak, contract says he stays in packages.
UPS wanted this because it's easier to cover a feeder job with a casual than it is to cover a package job.
It is what it is.
