PCM the new UPS millennials

[oldngray]

One day Strike in 94 for the weight increase over the weekend. From 75 lbs on Friday to 150 lbs on Monday. We walked

Wildcat strike.

UPS claimed it wasn't a bargaining issue. But waited until just after the contract was settled to spring it on us.

I remember management had part timers send letters to congress to increase the weight limit to 150 pounds.

Good for you , still in a brownie ??

He’s a part timer he’s only repeating what he has “heard”
Also a millionaire

 

[burrheadd]

No, part time preloader. I did a bit of driving and realized why all the old guys were always cranky and on their third wives, with bad knees and all that.

So, you mean you couldn’t make it as a driver
Gotcha

Yes, a millionaire, and yes, a part timer, and yes, a former seasonal driver. All of the above.

I'm on the AMCGMEBTCETHADA retirement plan. And it's fully funded.

The past two years have seen 10x to 100x growth in lots of things, and I was in them.

 

[1989]

Yeah, I am. I'm retiring while under 40 and only 16 years in. I won't even really get a pension.

So you started preloading in 2005. With diad
4, PAS, new power steering automatics coming in service. That makes sense.

I'm glad you were able to make sense of something. Is it a new feeling?

It’s why you are clueless

On this same forum, most old guys would say they'd not recommend this job to new people any more.

That's the same thing as saying it's worse now.

I know you're ignorant, but tens of thousands of young people, most 25 to 35, have made life changing amounts of money in the crypto boom, 2020 tech stock boom, and meme stocks. I'm one of them. There are tens of thousands of us.

Sure there are. Sorry you have to wait for your parents to die to own a home.

AMC paid it off in one day.

 

[Wally]

No, they weren't. I know this because stop counts, package size, and package weight went up.

That means the trucks weren't full.

Don't know what center you worked in? We were heavy. Our centers back in the day had a lot of manufacturing.

Sure, some drivers somewhere would be very full.

But with more irregs than ever, heavier average packages then ever, and more stops per driver than ever, we can say with 100% certainty that the trucks are more full now.

 

[Wally]

I started in the early 1970's...the job, company and union were much different back then....the parcel weight max was 50 pounds with very little bulk/incompatibles/irregulars........also the brownies were much smaller and faster.....it was a great place to work until 1976 when the unifying 3 month took place...so yes the modern day teamsters have a much harder job and better money and benefits.

When did you retire? No way the job was easier than today. Sure, you do more stops, that's because you dump and go. You don't even have to think now.

Less thinking = more drinking.
