Part-Timers in My Building are Clueless

[KOG72]

That's pretty much how it is here, as well. When I was hired just over 3 years ago, I spent a week in a classroom ("Cornerstone" training), then another week working one-on-one with a trainer on the floor.

New hires are definitely not coming out to the floor with the same knowledge I had when I was hired. They don't know about egress or how to secure a belt, and I don't think they even know the 5 keys for slips and falls or the 8 keys to lifting and lowering. They just start working, basically.

Just throw them in the fire

Which ends up to be about $665 after taxes. Not enough to be selling out

@Tony Q dont write no checks

It's often been said around here that part-timers get left with the scraps when it comes to contract negotiations. It's easy to see why based on the questions and comments I receive from coworkers on the night sort.

Most of the people I've spoken with are completely ignorant of the process of negotiation and even voting. In fact, it seems the only reason they want to discuss the contract at all is to find out when they should be expecting their back pay check that so-and-so told them about.

Don't get me wrong, I fully support higher wages for part-time employees. We are well overdue for a raise. But it's frustrating to see so much apathy from my coworkers on an issue that will directly affect their lives.

Who is at fault? How can we/the union get part-timers involved and invested in the process?

@IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U is at fault, the part time supervisors get him in the shower at the ups facility

Most part timers that been here awhile just use the benefits like myself. Working inside for 8 hours doesn’t seem appealing unless you got a easy position like overgoods or clerk.

I'm personally waiting for @LagunaBrown and @TimeForChange to make their comebacks too.

Probably not… both went off to the pasture and are chewing their cud…

Especially when you have an 1 1/2 hour break between jobs. Close to 10 hours out of your day for an 8 hour paycheck.

Yep. I rarely see 22.3 posted anyways.

We just had a bunch of new 22.3 jobs posted a couple months ago. Yet the PT air drivers instead of taking one would rather complain about not getting enough hours driving.

I’ve never seen one actually posted for my hub. They only get posted for a certain hub that nobody wants to go to.

Most of the ones taking 22.3 jobs have only worked at UPS for less then a year. I tell them in 4 years they will be earning $80k/yr. Most would never have been able to make that much at any other job they would qualified for.

That’s crazy only a year? It’s not like that here. You’ll be waiting a long time for one.

The amount of smooth brain hubrats are astoundingly high. Like I can’t believe they would rather not write grievances then get free money. They’re missing out on at least a grand a week. Then they complain that they work too hard for so little.

I’m considering waving my seniority around just to spite these brown nosers. They’re going to learn today. Now is not the time to give them any passes.
