[QUOTE="boswharfs, post: 3534003, member: 239"] In '97 the language the company was offering would allow part-time drivers to deliver any "time definite" package at the part-time rate. At the time a very small percentage of our ground packages were track-able but within just a couple of years they were not only track-able, but they were guaranteed - whether business or residential. The language foreshadowed where the company was going and they would have absorbed any "excess" volume with part-time employees. No matter how much growth, you would have never seen another new route go in. Therefore, a lot of newer drivers would not even be here. UPS is aiming for an UBER like delivery service, and it could be that these hybrid drivers are a piece of that puzzle. As far as grandfathering goes, once we go to large scale layoffs and "subcontract" work to hybrid drivers all bets are off for current in progression employees. This is at least my speculation.
