[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 428600, member: 198"] Corporate is milking the bad economy. Using it as an excuse to cut out routes. It doesn't make since to use 20+ helpers in a center with 30 or more full-time drivers while some of them are laid off. Umm....cut out a chunk of the helpers and put more routes back on the road! If peak is slow then reduce the helpers. Not the drivers. We used all but one (injury) full-time driver today so things aren't so bad here but management keeps telling us how many packages we are down from this time last year. We get the numbers read to us at least once a week for the past month. They are warning that we won't be using TCDs (part-timer drivers) this year and that some full-timers might have to be helpers. Then turn around and say that we will be using almost as many helpers as there are drivers. That never happens here because we have a bunch of rural routes that never get helpers. I just don't see the need for that many helpers if we aren't even going to need all of our drivers. Simple logic would dictate that we drop some loaders and run more routes. [/QUOTE]
