When I worked at Ground (inside) it was mostly people that also worked at UPS that stayed on. The rest quit even faster than they do at UPS.

Like I implied in my previous post, I am not 100 percent sure my contrarian view relative to yours is correct. I have heard my point of view from many long timers but I have never seen it in print. I tried looking at Article 34 to get a better handle on this issue but I see nothing relevant.
On what do you base your opinion?

They're doing a great job at keeping the turnover high which I'm sure is what they want. Since I started driving I've seen so many new ones come and go that I'm consistently near the bottom. With the wonderful four year progression we got last contract It's probably gonna take me seven years to see top rate.
But, the joke's gonna be on them because I plan on sticking around. In fifteen or twenty years when I'm probably one of the only top rate drivers at the center and the only one who won't run and gun, boy are they gonna hate me.

The big topic of discussion lately has been reducing turnover. I'm not sure why so many seem to think we want to increase it. New hire turnover cost my district almost a million last quarter. They want less turnover, not more.

As of the first of the year I will be the #1 seniority package car driver in my center.
Has it really been almost 27 years?

What happened to all the drivers that were above you when you got seniority 27 years ago?

All the people I see quitting are in progression.

The contract is merely a minimum they must pay employees.

You want to talk about wasted bandwith. What relevance does this have to the thread?

My building has an old Feeder driver that bid into a Porter job a few years ago over 70. A few more old package car drivers fast approaching 65 who bid into Porters and Car Wash. $33/hr to watch the clock until either break or lunch or time to go home.

There isn't a reduced pay rate for taking an inside job?

Depends if it's an article 22.2 or 22.3 job.

Working as intended. Who needs wage reductions when they never make it to top pay, on top of that, as Photog mentioned, pension contributions are made on behalf of them, working for both Teamsters and UPS.

I am curious to what the "COST" is.
UPS doesn't do drug tests.
UPS doesn't do background checks.
They advertise a little, have a group of people walk the building.
those who come back get hired.
HR person gets paid the same....
Don't tell me the "paper work" or they should cut back on warning letters, lol.
