[QUOTE="vociferous121, post: 5440628, member: 102375"] I sadly hate to agree with you. I was with IBEW for 4 years and UFCW 951 union for a shorter period. The fact that UPS is allowed to hire people not recognized by UPS union regulations is a swift door to job loss for everyone. I do not have the option to join the UPS union as a PVD. Let that sink in. Temporary employee or not, this spells disaster in the long run. I am not covered under your union doing the same job at a lower pay using my own property to do a good portion of the same job you do... Unless UPS plans to make some massive income from UPS drivers only picking up packages then your job is not as safe as you'd hope in the long run. All it would take is a union leadership that heads the wrong direction one time. However, I get you don't want overtime every week. This is not how it should be done. That should be negotiated in a contract and more full time drivers hired. I am to assume this PVD thing is something relatively new to UPS then? Or at least new to most areas? [/QUOTE]
