[QUOTE="area43, post: 240200, member: 4862"] In 1997 strike/contract UPS wanted to use Temp drivers 12 months instead of the now 6 months. Thus eliminating or possiblility near elimination of full time driver positions. by doing this they(UPS) would avoid paying the $273.60 a week ft penesion benefit, plus the $222.10 health benefit. This is Virginia stats only. Contributions differ by fund. Image that the company would be literally be driven by temp drivers. Teamsters to their credit fought against it and won. As of now UPS can only use temp drivers from June 1 to Dec 31(6 months). Lay off back to part time would be in acted after Christmas. This benefits UPS greatly. Even at 6 months UPSers don't take vacation basically intill June (kids our out of school) and with the volume up during the holidays this works out great. January to June is the lay off period. Usually volume is down and vacations are low. Remember, volume is low due to shoppers are recovering from the holidays. Business to Business might differ. It depends on what part of the country you are from. This is usually the case. [/QUOTE]
