Long term part time employees should get a good bump in wages.
New hires generally last months, not years. Why should long term employees take contract concessions for essentially temporary employees who have nothing invested in their career here?
If UPS needs to bump up the starting wage to attract enough workers, let them. But it should cost nearly nothing in concessions.
A temporary PVD classification should cost UPS a concession of controlling peak hours. They will say they need seasonal PVD because we can not handle peak volume, and need it to control excessive overtime during peak. Fine...Then make all overtime in excess of 10 hours a day strictly voluntary year round.
If PVD is the solution for peak serge, then it is also the solution for peak serge excessive overtime!
Also PVD should cost...No forced 6th punches or forced holidays nationally.
They want PVD, then there should be a cost. We gave them SurePost free and look how large it has become.
