[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 676619, member: 4816"] :wink2:Bubblehead, I know we have disagreed in some areas but I feel this post of yours is extremely fair and right on the point. Some additional comments from me --you might agree or not-- Supplementals can vary from place to place --but what I am aware of regarding this subject --In negotiations UPS looked for a way to deliver Saturday air and be competetive with Fedx. The Teamsters agreed on an air rate --that present inside part-timers could earn additional money --at a better rate than they make at their p/t position. I believe the union even looked at this as a win -win for both. On BC many here have seen p/t's crying about the pay rate and the fact they cannot make enough money. In many ,many areas part-timers will not step up -get a road test and deliver the air. The company was forced to bring in full time drivers at o/t rates that make sat del a loss. With all of the cost cutting measures --ups is now critized for taking away a full time drivers "saturday. By contract they cannot force p/t's to deliver air --but by contract they can schedule tues thru sat friend/t drivers --not at o/t rates. There should be no criticism here if UPS is in fact following the contract. If anything if I was a low seniority driver that did not want to work Saturday --I would help Ups to find P/t's looking for some better cash !!! :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
