Irrelevant.
Old guys looks out for young guys. That's how brotherhood works. The old dudes set up the new guys with 25/hr in the 80s. They got it on their first PT day. Before voting. Before caring.

Thats REALLY not how it happened at all ,your ignorance is really showing. The old dudes in 1982 stuck all of the new hires for many years by voting in a contract that kept PT starting pay at 8 bucks an hour. You have been told this before but as has been pointed out Reading isn't your strong suit

nowhere special
Blame the part timers who voted for that contract because they wanted that 500 dollar bonus and didn't care about long term impact.
The same ones that voted in 2018 or should I say didn't vote in 2018..
What a 20% turnout for the strike vote in less than a 50% turnout for the contract vote..

So what you're saying is that I'm right?
The full timers used to screw people by only giving them 25/hr as a starting pay with no increase that contract.
Can we all please get screwed like that?

I mean, dang! There’s like two page of this thread that have something to do with how busy or not peak season is and then almost 20 pages of nearly pure hate. Wow.
As for those who are having “too light of peak” please come here. Second week in a row of hitting over 60 hours in five days then coming in on Saturday to pre-preload Monday’s volume. Nice paycheck. But no life at all.

If you say so. Do you think that UPS employs more part-timers or full-timers?

We all know the answer. And we all know FT will always participate more. That's true in every generation.
And previous generations used that power to screw PT by only paying 25/hr starting pay.
Please screw us in kind.

Yes, a rotating door of them. Usually we are sorting piles of PVD volume in the morning then in evening come back and at least one pile hasn’t moved. Yesterday only three FTs who had hours were forced in and they had four PVDs in.. we got close to caught up first time in three weeks. Got about 60% of Monday volume loaded so can get out and start delivering early until the last volume gets here from hub. Pain to double trip and have to re-vist some areas but gives us fighting chance to keep on top of it.
They can’t get enough PVDs and they get almost no training so it’s a complet poopy show. IMO was much better when we trained actual seasonal drivers who spent week in class and then days with ORS.

One day after a PVD didn’t come in the day before his “route” was dispatched with over 200 stops. Wouldn’t have even worked in a package car due to the irregs.
End of day five different routes took a chunk out as double trip to get it out of building so we didn’t have to deal with it next morning.
One PVD brought back or never took out half the pile and told Supe he had to go home early that day to watch football. To be fair some of them are doing a decent job, perhaps they get called back for preload jobs when they finally put one in here.

The training and retention is abysmal here too but between them and the seasonals there is enough help that we aren’t totally screwed. Everybody is working 55-60 hrs still though.
My favorite PVD story was told to me about another member a year or so ago.
He went to the storage facility to check on a packages and it was a note from the PVD driver that I quit and nothing was delivered.
