[QUOTE="Satuirus2000, post: 1161378, member: 48065"] I know another big thing that was discussed in our meeting was jobs being sub-contracted out to other people. UPS pays people to come into Worldport to do various other jobs, when those jobs could and should be done in house by our own workers. Many people are very upset about that, especially in light of the fact that the quota of full time jobs to be created was not met. As been mentioned, transfers are also a HUGE complaint down here. You have to sign up onto a computer for certain job openings if you want to transfer, and there have been many cases where people sign up only to find out that apparently they were "never" signed up to begin with. This is very frustrating because then you have another year to wait and then come to find out AGAIN that you weren't on the list or some other BS. Basically, they make it unnecessarily hard for you to move up, which is a big problem if you're only getting about 3 hrs a week, and now they want to make Healthcare worse? That was the straw that broke the camels back. Also, as has been mentioned, the shuttle has been a sticking point for years. The union has tried to get us compensated for that for years, but it always fails, so honestly while I think the shuttle has and always will be a concern, most are resigned to the fact that it is what it is so people have been numb to it for awhile despite its various problems. It wasn't until the Union advised a no vote that UPS even took shuttle compensation seriously and offered that bogus $1000. I think that took everyone, even the Union by surprise. So now I think that is an issue some are interested in now cause we've finally seen some movement on it. But other issues are more pressing [/QUOTE]
