[QUOTE="btrlov, post: 5460443, member: 29173"] Union Dues are in effect healthcare contributions in a figurative sense. As per contract UPS has to hire x amount of Union employees per 1 outside recruit. Traditionally the outside recruit has been from Fedex, USPS or an UPS part-time supervisor - that is either: getting promoted to Fulltime On-Road Supervison(Driving as OJT) or trying to get back into the Union- as a side note Places like Amtrak its common for managers to continue to pay union dues just in case they wanna voluntarily or involuntarily go to an hourly position which they often do. anyway, in UPS, now a days off the street hires are common because the inside employee either doesnt have motivation, the driving experience or the liscense requriements or they got a cushy Hub position and reached top pay for inside. For example A Night Sort unloader or Twi Sort handler might be too exhausted to follow up with driving recruitment even though they have priority. A Preload shift Handler might have time to go for the driving test, but they are at top pay taping boxes or doing label corrections. So there has been a steady growth of external recruitment. I would hop over, as Express appears to be in its last days. Layoffs or contructive layoffs are slowly becoming a reality. Express just doesnt have the pricing to attract consumers in a recession [/QUOTE]
