[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1228323, member: 12570"] While overall this is an accurate description of the job, there are a number of points with which I disagree or simply don't apply in the area of the country that I work in. I worked in a closed shop yet our local union is smart enough to realize that it is blatantly unfair to collect initiation fees and/or union dues from seasonal employees. We (drivers) are expected to work with the helper and not to use them as an excuse to stay in the pkg car while they run off stops. We are also expected to get the helpers up to speed on the DIAD and to put more than the minimum number of required stops in to the DIAD. Flexibility and the willingness to work on a moment's notice are crucial. Personality clashes can and do happen----these can either be worked out or a change will be made. With only 17 days to do what we normally do in 20-22, things will be more chaotic than usual, nerves will be frayed and feelings will be hurt. The bottom line is the work needs to get done and the helper can either pitch in or get out of the way. [/QUOTE]
