Hi I am a part time local sort employee in Maine. I have been an employee for 14 years now. I have no plans on becoming a driver and love my job as it goes well with my other job. For the first time since I have been working at my center lay offs are happening with the drivers to the extent it is effecting our shift. They recently filled 7 new positions and worked the drivers thru peak now they are layed off and are taking all the local sort positions. These drivers all have less than 6 months seniority with the company. Some had 4 months as pre-loaders, then they drove for peak, some were hired on as drivers from the start. Now these essentially new hires are taking our hours as we've been told that with one day of full time seniority it trumps any amount of part time seniority. Is this true? Can someone who has been with the company for so little time take our hours even though we've been with the company for years, decades even lol. To make matters worse, two more bids are to be posted, which will in turn mean 2 more drivers taking our spots. The next two part timers to lose their hours have each been with the company for over 30 years. This just seems strange to me. I appreciate all of you time , thanks
