[QUOTE="Artee, post: 5912264, member: 24351"] Yet......If this change produces the desired result, one could see it expanded to other job codes....or being walked back. The Express stations around here have been told by the new Ground director, that they will be doing ground deliveries within the next year. The director said that means increasing the number of handlers from the current 5 to 25. Not going to happen without minimums. Some of these current handlers are only getting 10 hours a week. Two have told the manager this week they are quitting as its not worth the 30 minute drive to the station from their home for 10 hours a week. One of the managers at this station was a manager at the Oakland hub. They have wide, double belts at the hub like the Ground facilities have to handle the bulky oversized freight. They are not going to run Ground freight on this small little belt in this station. Unless they plan on tearing the belt out and upgrading. The new director is coming in for a meeting this week and she was just in Pittsburgh last week for the big meeting there. Betting some bad news is coming their way. [/QUOTE]
