Can't fill helper slots

[Wally]

The only time I have seen January helpers is one day after a snow storm

I think it's blatantly clear that the "lack of helpers" angle will be used to start the era of "PVDs". UPS is too smart to just screw the centers.
The Teamsters better be on the ball with this because a simple pay increase would flood each center with helper applicants.

Seasonal period only. If any PVD works outside of that period then grieve grieve grieve!

If any of them work period grieve it.


It's a new job classification whose parameters need to be bargained.

What is considered the "seasonal period" now days? Who's to say eventually the entire year would be classified as a seasonal period.

Pretty clearly defined in the contract.

I was just telling someone earlier this week.

I'm no so sure the plan isn't to fail miserably next week and then hire a ton of PVD's. Then they can run screaming to the union. See we need the flexibility of PVD's. They saved us this year.

Oct 15 - New year's, plus or minus a few.

My how that has grown. It used to be the day after Thanksgiving until Dec. 25th. At the rate its expanding the holiday hiring period will be a half a year long in no time. You guys are 'friend" with a capitol "friend".

So was getting the Friday after Thanksgiving off. The contract means nothing anymore. Great job maintaining what was fought for younger generation.

Maybe you should try reading the contract.


Holiday does not equal day off.

It does when you are at the top of the seniority list.

Why the hell would I want to read a stupid UPS contract at this stage of the game? Are you for real?

Why would you still be talking about UPS at all at this stage of the game?

Then maybe you should refrain from commenting on such issues since you have no idea what you're talking about.

Are you taking the baton from Dave after he retires on this crusade?

Its kind of a hobby of mine-----pissing people off. You use the old "know it all" routine---I just spout off things I know get under peoples skin. People are so easy.

I think I know who's going to take Upstates place on my "pick on" list.

I have no problem with retirees who have a clue

It's funny I call you out on something you were wrong about once and suddenly you have a beef with me. Grow up

Dear Upstate Jr.
You are so cute when you are mad.
