[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 814320, member: 18708"] OH now you make that distinction ;) You had said delivery and feeder ; air operations are shuttle, delivering, meet points, airport runs, exception work ( grounds included) as you are probably aware. Most of that work, other than the airport shuttle work, is PT oriented. The use of PT and FT drivers for delivery of FT ROUTES, more like you were saying, are spelled out in supplements. Every region is different. Some regions have PT covers, some have PT or FT seasonal covers, some have FT bid area covers...then you have locals that negotiate their own deals (705 for ex) It is difficult to stand together when each region is different, but I agree in principal. Do you really think the company wants more FT jobs and less PT, throwaway high-turnover jobs? Do you believe the union wants more FT jobs? When the PTers contribute (at least here) more dues $49/mo versus $66/mo for FT. Also, the initiation fees from new hire turnover would be curtailed if the stability of mostly full time jobs entered the picture at UPS. Less jobs = less dues money. less turnover = less initiation fee. Seems like less money for union, unless pension/benefit monetary contributions were bumped up. [/QUOTE]
