[QUOTE="BleedBrown33, post: 384702, member: 16931"] Wont budge of of friend/T preload at my hub it has a 12:00am-2:30am and the classic 4:00am-9:00am. It can be combined no problem. Everyone has an opionion to what is realistic and not. We must raise new hire wages, who disagrees? Also we do need more bite in supervisors stealling our work. The pension must be similar across the board depending on regions cost of living. We must secure a pension that is done off of a % and not an accrual. This may not be a need as much as a desire but vaction needs to be factored off of hours worked and not the same for someone who works 17.5 hrs a week compared to someone who works 25+ hrs a week. If you have a better idea please share but there has got to be a way to force UPS's hand on friend/T employment. We all know that there will always be a need for P/T work for students,low volume loactions, and flexability in operations. I honestly dont know how many total friend/T driving jobs are actually out there, but with 420,000 UPSers and only 20,000 combo jobs formed is a major disparity. Think if they froze hiring and started making combo's everytime a UPSer quit's,is fired,or retires they could knock down total # of employees and all the payments going into health & welfare.
