[QUOTE="Netsua 3:16, post: 3743062, member: 73764"] I'm still in year one, this new contract would provide me with a nice raise. That said, I feel for my part time brothers and sisters. I'm not a fan of the way UPS handles the preload. I do believe that it's a fine 2nd job, if only for the benes and progression opportunity and early hours. But they are basically bottom feeders, when their job is vital to the success of this company. The money it can cost UPS to deal with misloads is ridiculous. If you want high quality preload/part timers, you simply need to provide them with a higher quality job. The 22.4 is in theory a good idea in my opinion. But the language (or lack there of) leaves open a giant window for UPS to abuse. This is a mukti kajillion dollar company; the less part time jobs the better. Preloaders working full time is on the right track, but I think we need to try a little bit harder than "hey, we'll just have some preloaders available to work all the crap driver shifts and prevent 9.5 payouts." Get more trucks, or hell even those vans. Build small routes that both relief RPCDs and provide opportunity for preloaders to make a living. Clearly define that 22.4s will ONLY work these smaller, relief routes Mon-Fri. [/QUOTE]
