Paid medical dental and vision.. real vacation time.. 7+1 weeks paid I believe right?? A real retirement, a union, A pension.. stock options... Yea, I'd say that a a much better model then the car business where you get none of that..
Not likely.. I'm in the fastest growing % center in the hub.. there's 8 fters that took the 22.3 gigs in the hub, there's 7 guys retiring at the end of the year(4 my center and 3 in feeder that guys from my center will be replacing) I'll likely end up back in the hub for a month or 2.. until vacas start hitting.. there's guys with less then a year and a half that I watched this happen to last year... After March they never came back on the hub.. I'll be at a year and a half by the time peak is over.. so we'll see.
And the other benefit to UPS and our union, I'm not on a route today, but 2 less seniority guys are.. so I get paid to go home..

it's beautiful.. drive safe everyone.
Wow I guess I'm not the only one who sees through your BS.
You don't get 7+1 weeks. You get 6 and and option in the southern.
You're also not bringing in as much as you say. I'm at full rate and I get 58/59 hours a week because my route has late pick ups and early start time. I can tell you that your numbers are wrong because there is no way you are making what I do at FT top rate.
You're not on a route today and you're filing a grievance on that before you've made your TCD 30 day seniority??? Good luck with that. I see a DQ in the future with yourbad overallowed number.
And how are you hitting 2k or so a week if you're not driving 10-12 hours a day every day??? You're not driving today. There's 10-12 hours less.
I think I can say myself and everyone here has proven you wrong over and over and over again.
Maybe you're the uninformed one here.
