[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 857607, member: 18044"] I thought so. So what's the problem? The Company is just applying the agreed-upon full-timer language to part-timers. Teamster negotiators long ago made the CONCESSIONS that UPS could hire Temps for three months in the Winter, and Vacation Covers for more than three months in the Summer. There's nothing in the Contract to prevent UPS from hiring existing part-timers into these non-seniority openings, so it's not an Extra Contract Agreement that [U]conflicts[/U] with Contract provisions. UPS is just offering the work to existing UPSers rather than to New Hires off the street. Instead of just getting 3.5 hours a day, some part-timers, (I assume in Seniority order,) are being voluntarily given the chance to earn extra money, get extra hours, earn extra Pension Credits, possibly qualify for better (full-time) H&W benefits, and gain advanced experience as a package car driver. Once you accept the sad fact that the Teamsters are OK with UPS having a "Free Period" of more than half the year, the rest logically follows. [/QUOTE]
