Do you have any respect for drivers who never worked on the inside?

[QUOTE="bottomups, post: 913011, member: 29452"] One of these days this issue has to be put to rest. Why so much animosity towards someone becoming a package car driver without coming up through the part time ranks? If someone hires on with UPS under the guidelines of the contract at the time, so be it! That contract was in force because the majority of the members who chose to vote, voted yes. I sat in on many proposal meetings in my local before the current contract was finalized and sent out for a vote. I can count on one hand the number of part timers that even showed up to voice their opinions. If you don't like the current contract become involved to change it next time around. If I remember correctly, from those proposal meetings, UPS cannot legally hire ALL drivers from within and thus the outside hire included in whatever ratio was decided upon. I started part time as an unloader while finishing my degree, worked up to preload and went full-time in about 2 years. I was lucky to have come into the company at a time of fast growth. I guess I paid my "dues" as some of you out there demand should happen, but I don't see where it has made me a "better" full-timer! [/QUOTE]
