[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1143263, member: 29553"] Once again this is NOT part time drivers. They would be working a FT 8 hour shift to COVER for extra number of drivers that would now be out on vacation. Yes they would be making $21/hr but if they temporarily hired some one off the street, they would be starting at a lot less AND NO PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS EITHER!! Also it is NOT 2 free periods. Presently if a part timer works as a driver during peak (free period) THAT TIME DOESNT COUNT towards making book. However NOW if he works during peak plus some days during the summer as VCDs, those days COUNT. If a driver is needed anytime after Jan 15 and Memorial Day or between Labor day and Oct 15 and has accumulated 50 FT days, that top seniority VCD will automatically make FT book. Whats good also is that in the language THE LOCAL will be keeping track of all the hours these VCDs work in order to make sure UPS doesnt cheat, lie or manipulate the system!! As for OT, from what ive heard where this system has been implemented in other locals, there is plenty of OT. This will be a system to ONLY COVER VACATIONS during the summer. As for me personally I want LESS OT during the summer months when it is 100 degrees out. [/QUOTE]
