[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 2552693, member: 37112"] Now there's a surprise. UPS also doesn't want 55 yr olds driving any of there equipment. They train and certify because of those savvy negotiators that earn the $90 per month dues you pay. UPS is more in favor of 55 year old Pkg drivers dovetailing into retirement rather than moving to Fdrs. High seniority/ low seniority Pkg driver moving to Fdrs has the same effect on the 6-1. Train a 30 yr Pkg driver to safely operate a Fdr. Then train a new hire/part timer to efficiently handle the vacated pkg job. Then train a new PT to fill the vacated PT job. Wait two years and do it all again as now 32 yr Pkg driver turned Fdr retires, which causes another opening in Fdrs that gets filled by another 30 yr 55 yr old Pkg driver. OR... Train one 25 year old off the street hire for Fdrs and not repeat for 30 yrs. You were saying something about good sense? [/QUOTE]
