[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 268160, member: 11246"] What should be done in this situation. My building is in a pretty affluent area. They have to bus people in from over 30 miles away to get part timers. They are constantly hiring. But it is a revolving door. I came in with 8 or so people. I think there is only 2 of us left. They are short handed, but can't get the help needed. What should they do? To me they have to work and help out. I only see the part time sups working. I am sure they would rather walk around sipping coffee, but they have to work to get the job done. So what should UPS do? If the Part time Sups didn't work the tucks would never get out on time. The pulses (part timers) on my belt are constantly coming in late, not showing up (with out even calling) and so forth. One guy was out for almost 2 weeks. He said he had a “nasty cold”. This is a big issue where I work. And I see this problem getting even worse with the new contract. Part timers will be even harder to find, hire and keep. I think the Union has left the Part timers out of their thoughts for a while and we are just seeing the beginning of a bigger problem. I am not saying they should work. But if they can't get people to do the job, what should they do? Start earlier?? That wouldn't work where I am as the compitent, reliable, hard workers are the ones that have other full time jobs. If they extended our hours, I know a lot of us would have to walk. Just not sure what the solution is.......well I do......better pay for part timers. [/QUOTE]
