Nothingness Fluff ,part 2

[Brownslave688]

When I first started driving, a old timer told me he made 95 bucks a week with overtime back in in the early 60's.

After the wife gets done with it I make less than that.

Besides ~$6/hr, what is the difference between a Seasonal PT and Seasonal FT Drivers?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

what is the story behind that?

Not long after we signed the contract. UPS raised the weight limit from 70 to 150. They never negotiated it,so the union called a strike.

 

[Returntosender]

Ate you going to apply?

No I will not. It's friends and family. Why would UPS want to current employee to ask friends for family to work with them. Knowing the BS they have to put up with. It will seem like you punishing your friends and family.

I remember getting a call on Sunday from a sup talking about that. Never heard of the strike before that call. No BC back then.

Maybe @turdferguson will get an application for his mother in law.

I didn't know till I went to work.

I don't know. Have to ask the costs manager that question.

Maybe a seasonal PT will have 3.5 near route. The routes near the hub.

As far as I know, everybody worked that day.

Now it would just be work as instructed.

We didn't.

Got that right.

 

[Big Arrow Down...D]

I didn't know till I went to work.

How many years ago was that?

 

[upschuck]

How many years ago was that?

94/95 maybe

 

[upschuck]

We didn't.

That is because you are lazy. Probably sat around drinking beer too.

 

[Big Arrow Down...D]

94/95 maybe

Really? Thought it was longer than that I think you're mistaken

 

[Returntosender]

Now it would just be work as instructed.

Is that language in the contract? Cause I question some of the stuff they tell. Go break that jam, don't turn off the belt use the broom stick and push the jammed packages away from the diverters.

 

[oldngray]

It was a wildcat strike. Not called by the national union.

The only time you don't have to work as instructed is unsafe or unethical
