PVD's

[Box Ox]

Absolutely.

You do realize that a strike would mean the end of the company as we know it.

I have less than 7 (working) months left. A strike would not impact me nearly as much as most of you.

Kind of a tough call. Not striking and green lighting the Company’s steamrolling of the contract with PVDs might also end badly. The delivery business is moving toward that model.

Real UPS drivers could end up delivering commercial and over 70 volume only.

A lot of the guys (not me) depend on the OT during Peak.

$55/week does not put very much under the tree (or on the table).

Some newbie in his car will get squat done. We will have to bail them out.

 

[Wally]

Uh....no.

What are they then?

Supposedly their stops will be downloaded in sequential order. Even if they do 75-100 stops it would take the pressure off of that bid driver.

A short length of lead pipe is actually more effective.

Less rebound and more efficient energy transfer.

What are they then?

IC’s.

What are they then?

Scabs. Plain and simple.

Scabs. Plain and simple.

Let this happen and soon it will be an all year thing.

 

[TearsInRain]

Maybe you should keep your head below the walls of your cubicle.

i'll surround myself with a meat shield of PVD scabs

 

[Brownslave688]

Why not. It is a blatant violation of subcontracting.

It's a new job classification. One that has to be negotiated first.

I'm bidding that route. Just handing off packages for someone else to deliver

 

[Brownslave688]

Understood. But even my sister can only take so much, whatever it may be.

Allowing them is the end of the company as we know it.


I'll go down fighting long before I bend over and spread em.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Scabs. Plain and simple.

Yes and no.

Scans knowingly cross active picket lines to take work from striking workers.

Folks who apply for these jobs are meant to augment our work force, not deplete it.

Thanks for that clarification. Takes one to know one, I guess.

Even if they do 75-100 stops it would take the pressure off of that bid driver.

Would it “take pressure off” bid drivers, or would it massively cut routes? Company of course isn’t doing this to give drivers lighter days.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I never crossed.
