[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 4331728, member: 8481"] Nope. But any Union member who is out of work can get a withdrawal card and not be responsible for back dues once he/she returns to work. No different than a PVD working every peak. I don't care who they worked for outside of peak, or who "supplied" the manpower. The PVD's hired by UPS were dues paying, full-time, seasonal package car drivers. If managers were delivering, I hope you filed for the money. It did not. UPS has hired temporary seasonal package car drivers for the last decade, of which most never stayed on after peak. The only ones that stayed were if UPS did need more drivers after peak. No different than today. If they need more drivers after peak, they hire more full-time package cars drivers. PVD's have nothing to do with it. If these "qualifying" drivers are needed after peak, they will be the ones driving, not PVD's. I'm not the one that negotiated seasonal drivers, or allowing a free period during peak so as to not allow drivers to qualify. If you don't like it, vote to change it. It is what it is. Bottom line, when UPS has every package car used, every rental it can find, how do you propose that they deliver all the volume? Do you want them to buy more package cars just to use during peak? Do you want them to quit accepting shippers packages because they don't have enough vehicles? Do you want them to sub-contract the work, to actual non-union companies? PVD's are the least of all evils. And again, they are not scabs. They are dues paying seasonal package car drivers, the same extra jobs UPS has hired for the last decade. The only difference is that the PVD's drive their own vehicles, but also get paid for their mileage. [/QUOTE]
