[QUOTE="2years2go, post: 1099587, member: 10008"] Part time supervisors were first used back in the early 1970's. First in the part time hub operations and then eventually in the package centers to oversee the part time preload and local sort operations. OMS's first came into use in the early 1990's. The company recognized that FT Sups were spending a majority of time in the office doing clerical type work and not OJS'ing or training / retraining drivers. The company also discovered that they could at times also reduce 1 (MIP) FT sup level by adding 2 (no MIP) OMS's. This resulted in a sharp increase in OMS's in the mid - late 90's. The name of OMS's were changed to PTPCS in the 2006-2009 era. The reason was that there was a push in certain areas of the country to unionize the OMS's. To stop this, OMS's were given the title of a supervisor to remove them from a non-union clerical pool, putting them on the same level as PT sups in the operations. Hope this information helps....
