Certainly, and until they do, they can keep hiring them. Somebody will eventually stay. They would have to show me evidence that they are doing it.
Huge layoffs are happening to 22.4s
- Thread starter rebelsss
- Start date

Deranged lunatic
you can fax them directly but seniority rules in these cases so whoever files with the highest seniority gets the penalty pay. It's kinda messed up but logic has it you'd want the company to pay out the highest wage tier possible as a penalty.
Without PAS and with lighter sets, even more misloads and laziness they've gone from ~29 hours to 25 or less and that would break the bank out here with the only saving grace being you can drive in and out of work from far away without any traffic.

I've told this story before.
A neighbor asked me if I could get his son a job at UPS. I said nope. He will have to go through the
same application process as everyone else. If he passed a 30 day probation, I would check in on him.
He lasted 1 1/2 days and walked out at break.
The irony was.... 6 months later, he was asking me if he could get a job in IT....
because he was "good with computers". I asked him if he any of the Microsoft certifications ?
Deer in the headlights look. Poor kid.... was 5'6" and 350 lbs.
@PT Car Washer this is the available job pool.
The company is going to need to pony up money to attract a more diligent PT work force.
Unless.... they don't care.

Most of these kids don't care about the benefits nor they know how important they are.
But you are correct there are many places paying above what UPS is paying

UPS did keep hiring and now we have lay offs. Sad when you have to hire 5 drivers for 4 jobs because you never know when one will be a no call no show.

OK then if they’re laying off, you shouldn’t be working as a driver this is pretty simple stuff. Get those laid off people are working in the building. They can be called back at any time.

As much as I love my kids.... I bounced their butt out the door at 18.
That's what my Dad did with me. "Fly.... or Fry".

I agree with you and the Union in this matter. Now if we can just get the laid off drivers to come in. They look at a lay off like it is a vacation.

If they took a hard layoff without pay that’s their choice, but if they worked in the building, the company has the right to call them back.

My oldest has been out for a while but just turned 26 (don’t have to live at home to stay on insurance). Next one is finishing up under grad work and is wondering if grad school will be completed before off my insurance.

We’ve been over this no one told you not to work as directed. But since you’re such a high seniority person who cares about the union and the contract, you should be filing continually address to change.
