[QUOTE="air_dr, post: 794709, member: 29929"] [b]Re: *UPDATE UPS LAYS OFF ALL AIR DRIVERS IN MANHATTAN 43RD St building and Manhattan[/b] Thank you for the reply to my questions, EyesLookingIn. Siredline010, welcome back, I'm grateful you are still with us and didn't get totally turned off by some of the rude jokes and comments that were directed at you. What's going on with you anyway? Are you or will you soon be back driving? Or are you working in the hub? Or did you take a layoff? I'm curious about the remark "[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]but now UPS is only looking at being productive on paper not the cost." [/SIZE][/FONT]This may be related to something from a yet still earlier post... What do you mean by p/t air drivers being "2 to 4 hours over every day." Are you saying air drivers in your hub are working 6-8 hours a day? (I'm only getting around 3, and that is close to what most other air drivers are getting in my building as well.) Now, anyway, if p/t air drivers are getting 6-8 hours, why does the company see that as a problem? OT doesn't kick in until after 8 hours.
