You want the four tens?

Nope.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Lol nah Brah that’s not how seniority works
Lower seniority gonna get the crappy jobs nobody else wants

Exactly

 

[Thebrownblob]

Exactly

Something we all had to deal with at one point

 

[oldngray]

Seniority sucks when you don't have any.

And most PT members can wait years for a FT job.... only to start at the bottom again.

One of the things I try to mention to a lot of the new guys who went driving even as a 22.4 less than a year after starting at UPS is that I waited eight years part time and I had a two year progression, essentially making my journey to top-scale 10 years.
Most of them will be top scale in less than five.

Yes sir. Not giving that up

 

[Wally]

Not sure why there either. Giving up OT is just dumb.

A 4-10 doesn't pay OT until after ten hours

True. The company could cut all overtime anytime they wish. Sucks to be those that adjusted their lifestyle based on getting it.

I have always been an advocate of increasing the hiring ratio for PT members.

Thats gotta burn, when you are a seasoned and some "off the street" hire is now above you in seniority.


Especially, when they are loud mouthed "know it all's".

Who lease cars.... and throw their dead cat in the communal dumpster at the condo complex ?

I’ve never felt upset About an off the street hire. It was just part of the agreement as long as we understand what the rules are. And they are followed I’m cool with it.

It was just a dig.... at our favorite retiree.

@Off the street hires are just a notch above scabs. Ain't that right @Brownslave688 ?

Our last two off the street hires lasted less than one year...

The company indoctrination is laughable.

Not the point. Just don’t think a ten hour day for straight time, in the hands of UPS, would be a good thing for anyone.

Might be OK if it was only a 10 hour day but it would end up minimum of 10 with hours of OT on top of that.

4 day work week? I would take that.

We do that now.

And get paid more for it. Why take less?????

I don’t even know why people keep talking about it it’s not happening.
