[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 843643, member: 14596"] You are correct, there are fewer students in the part time operations now than there used to be. There are more people working for UPS only for the benefits. Ironically, those people often make it harder for me in my operation to be flexible with the students. Obviously, they want as little time as possible actually working. So any time I give flexibility to a student, they grieve it. I think the grievances have no merit, but I do not call all the shots. If I did call all the shots, I would eliminate medical bene's for all PT, increase their starting pay to more than twice minimum wage like it used to be and get the union on board with supporting flexibility for students. I would also look for legitimate full time combinations where practicable, not just make work second shifts after a sort is done that does not have a sort that follows. Sadly, the one suggestion of mine I think UPS will actually pursue is getting rid of medical for PT. [/QUOTE]
