Why should someone do a tool rate job for less? That's what I'm not understanding

Probably because the USPS and their union worked out the same deal. That's not my idea but I read that on here and agree wtih it. Why people would do it; because they are hungry and usually young with a family to feed, and probably living way beyond their means.

Looks like a race to the bottom . What the heck do I know. Let them deliver all of the suepost packages to and crewcr some jobs.

$30+ an hour isn't a bad gig, though I also do not agree with a lessor/lower rate while performing the same duties. IF they are the same. I think race the bottom is a bit strong but you could be right, more like a snails pace to the bottom but nonetheless accurate.

Why should someone do a top rate job for less? That's what I'm not understanding

Is four hours in a package car the same as 9-12 hours in that thing?

They would be like me taking a 20k pay cut to do the same job. And this place will manipulate every job class to screw everyone.

What about the rest of the year? Full time cover drivers?

We staff enough full time to cover vacations. No PT cover or utility.

Only time we use cover drivers/casuals is from May 10 to September 30. And October 15 to January 10. These are off the street drivers working FT.

We only have seasonal during peak.

What happens if you get short handed the rest of the year?

We get effed in the mouth and the arse.

So can they bump back into the hub??? Sounds like a two tier wage job already... so why the fuss over 22.4 drivers...

That’s what I’m saying.

You said something earlier, about 22.4 doing feeder work, I think this is the hidden gem the company is looking for. No OT to move feeder loads on weekends.

For those four hours, yes?

Exactly! It's arace to lower the pay. The stop counts will go up, so will the size and weight of the packages but the pay will go down.

I can't afford to go on strike is the answer they give me. My only hope is that they don't vote.

You never see any if these guys at the union meetings.....ever.

They they should go full time. I’m now at 11k in my personal strike fund.

My strike fund is looking good also. Hoping I don't have to use it but that's what it's there for.
If things start to look ugly, I'll suspend all 401k and Roth IRA money and cut out in the extra goodies


I'm ready.

They aren't understanding the situation.
I've talked to a few of the younger drivers at work. They don't want to give a strike authorization, they ate afraid that it means we are walking out. Some people you just can't explain things to.

Some of us really are just dumb truck drivers
