[QUOTE="BadIdeaGuy, post: 4724360, member: 73381"] I dispute most of this. I would argue, that for the skillset required, UPS is one of the very best jobs out there, period. For part timers, no. But as a driver? You get paid 100K a year, get best in class insurance, a pension that for most will be worth well over a million dollars, and huge job security as brick and mortar stores get displaced by the internet. If you're crying that you have to work Christmas Eve, get over it. We get a lot of holidays. Christmas we don't get the day off before, because our business over peak is making sure that everyone else's Christmas isn't ruined. I presume you are talking about the Air hub and gateway operations employees, when you are talking about the contract not applying?The contract has articles that govern those employees too. Article 46 in my contract for 710, if I recall correctly. What articles of the contract do not apply during peak and during this pandemic? The initiation fees do not go toward covering the retirees pensions or healthcare. You absolutely can request a holiday week or day off. Just not after Thanksgiving. Again, our job requires all hands on deck during Christmas time. I wish both of you the best, but you are being somewhat shortsighted. Those "better jobs" will likely not have the pay rate, the insurance, or the pension that comes with this job. [/QUOTE]
