[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 269805, member: 2189"] Yeah Big, that one generated a lot of interest as well in my neck of the woods. This is not directly related to the TCD to PCD but it does connect in a manner. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought at some point you said you were PT? What does have me concerned for the future is the PT situation going FT and the way the new progressions work. Whether new hire off the street or coming to UPS PT and working towards FT, I'm not sure how this all will effect that. The HR folks if you talk to them will tell you they are literally dragging the bottom of the barrel now to get people and even though the old progression was a bit steep, the new rules will just add another hurdle to their job as the wait to go FT can be a long one and then to progress to full pay/benefits status has now gotten larger. Also UPS in my neck of the woods did OK getting small business and self employed folks who overall were pretty good to come to work for the benefits. Now achieving that carrot has been lengthened so the HR think the first impact will be a reduction of those type folks from their new hire pools. As our district HR manager has been suggested as saying, "we are hiring the best of the unemployable" so IMO I think things just got a bit worse and now to add insult to injury, how many folks like yourself are willing to leg it out to FT with the new progression rules? I honestly don't know who is more at fault milking the PT ranks dry, the company or the union and it could be both equally. If you keep shortchanging the very backbone of what will be your driver ranks, PT supervisor ranks and in many case your FT supervisor ranks, in the end you will shortchange your company's future! JMO. BTW: Am not nor have ever been a PTer. Hired in directly to FT in 1981'. [/QUOTE]
