[QUOTE="Gman24, post: 151332, member: 6367"] Dragracer66, Yes I am dogging the REAMSTERS, but you somewhat misunderstand my point. When I first became a driver, about 13 years ago, the TEAMSTERS started allowing UPS to hire drivers and use them as "cover drivers" in order to keep from hiring them as FULLTIMERS. I was the first of the cover drivers in my area under this new contract. I drove for about 2 years at FULLTIME hours but was still considered PART TIME. The drivers who went full time before me, 1 was less than a year before me, if they drove just 30 days in a 90 day period they were automatically put on as FULLTIME STATUS and they topped out in I believe 90 days. Now it takes in some areas 4 years to top out in some areas as the original poster stated. That is my point. I realize there has to be some give and take in contract situations. But there comes a point where WE, UNION DUES PAYERS, have to realize that we are being sold out more and more by our supposed representation. Examples are being brought up more and more every week on this forum, the writing is on the wall and some just don;t see what's going on. AS I have said in previous posts, I am not a UNION BASHER, I am just a TEAMSTERS Basher. You see I was sold out 13 years ago, It didn't take me 13 years to figure it out either. [/QUOTE]
