[QUOTE="steeltoe, post: 299306, member: 9491"] Part-time sup to feeder is like winning the lottery. You have to understand that UPS is a Union company with a contract. Our contract only permits roughly 16% of the full-time drivers to be hired outside of the bargaining unit employee pool. A part-time sup falls into this catagory. In my 19 years with UPS, I have only seen 1 part-time sup go into full-time driving. He had 7 years of being a part-time sup. As far as your quote of respect is earned. Yes, in the real world, but not at UPS. You would be managing a bunch of 18 year old kids who do not have the work ethic of years past. Calling it a management job is a far stretch. It is real hard to manage, while you are loading packages, breaking jams, etc. Again, UPS is a Union Company. This means everything goes by seniority or as you stated "putting in your time". Seniority is king. Seniority brings you respect. Hey, I don't agree with the concept, but that is the way it is at big brown. In addition, let me add the following. As a part-time sup, you get benefits alright. They do not equal the benefits of the part-time bargaining unit employee's, and you get to pay for them, while the bargaining unit employee gets theirs for free. That makes a tone of sense. They do not even take care of their own, meaning management. I hope my remarks have not been taken the wrong way, I just thought I would help by giving you the truth. The bottom line is you are pretty much guaranteed a driving job at UPS through the Union represented job, if you do the time (I'm talking years), have a good driving record, and bust your rear end while doing the job. Attempting to go this route through a part-time sup job will more than likely be a very tough learned lesson years down the road.:happy2: [/QUOTE]
