Don’t tell that to @Brownslave688 ... nobody needs to see his banana sling...lolWow you let them discriminate against you like that? One call to an attorney and you’re wearing a speedo if you want to.

Okay so on my way home I thought about this more. So we have around 30 FT drivers. That’s means we can have 7-8 hybrid drivers, correct? We run around 13-14 on preload. So there’s a good chance I’ll be there making my $15 an hour, while over half of the other workers (hybrids) will be making $20/hr up to $30/hr over the next few years and I’ll be up to like $17/hr. For the same job???
Yeah I like this less and less the more I think about it. Nothing against those that choose to become hybrids. Just how is the reasonably fair? Especially since I’m simply not able to take the hybrid position. Even if I wanted too I can’t. Seems like a good way to piss off and weed out part timers that have been there, and aren’t taking full time jobs.
That leads the way to new hires at lower rates, fighting to become hybrids, at lower rates than FT drivers. Yep. There better be something really nice on that contract that they’re not telling us yet.
Dude... there are guys in feeder who only want 8 or 9 hours... I know there are some that want 90 hours a week but that is one reason why in this area they are having trouble getting feeder and pc drivers at all... many don’t want 10 or 11 hour days...Please. Most of these drivers live above their means. Once the OT dries up they will all be in trouble.
but these FT drivers will eventually make more than the TCD. He will never top out more than a hybrid, even if he had 10 years seniority on him.Life isn’t fair sport. Tcd make more then some full timers that are not topped out yet for doing the same job also.
Every feeder guy I met is a OT whore.Dude... there are guys in feeder who only want 8 or 9 hours... I know there are some that want 90 hours a week but that is one reason why in this area they are having trouble getting feeder and pc drivers at all... many don’t want 10 or 11 hour days...
And then go from hybrid to full time regular to top out at 40??? That’s the same question I would like to know...ups wants some flexibility here but that does come with a price...Can a cover driver who is 1 year in progression move into the hybrid driver spot to be full time? I hope my $27 an hour will be red circled too. Anyone got info on this?
Not here bud.... everywhere is different... then you can have all these ot whores go get one of these sleeper team jobs and make even more money....It will open up some bid runs for you...Every feeder guy I met is a OT whore.
They all show me their pay stubs and are so proud. They work every Saturday and Sunday they get the chance. I dont get it.Not here bud.... everywhere is different... then you can have all these ot whores go get one of these sleeper team jobs and make even more money....It will open up some bid runs for you...
Wdfd!!!!Gumby worked hard and saved his money wisely. Don't worry about me.
I think you need to worry more about automation taking your job then not making what a hybrid drive will..Yeah but twice as much? And eventually he full timers catch up right? How do I even get close?
What this really means is they “can” pay PT’ers more. They’re just choosing not to, and creating this in between position. Which the more I think about it, is a long term play to undermine current part time and full time employees.
Take care of yourself. You can't depend on others to do it for you.Wdfd!!!!
I’m actually glad you had the fortitude and drive to be proactive about it an I hope there is good raises for everyone’s pension contributions that actually make a difference...
If they took .50 away from partimers and gave it to us full timers everyone would be happy.Wdfd!!!!

We have some automated buildings around here and there still are hundreds of people working there and they STILL hire regularly.... don’t be fooled by this “automation revolution “....I think you need to worry more about automation taking your job then not making what a hybrid drive will..
Yes... the pension will be a nice extra if it is there at the end... along with social security....Take care of yourself. You can't depend on others to do it for you.
It sure wouldYes... the pension will be a nice extra if it is there at the end... along with social security....
That’s why it would be ideal to get language in the contract that states hybrids can only work on sat and Sunday.... and on a weekday only if there is a dire emergency like half the center calls out on a sick day....and language that states “ no m-friend full time driver will be laid off because of work being given to a hybrid driver... furthermore no hybrid driver will work any weekday unless there is an emergency or an act of GOD...”If ups can make money now Mon thru Friday they can pay "hybrids" the same delivery rate on Saturdays and Sundays or whenever the hell they work for whatever time they're on road. If the company backs out then scrap the whole damn idea. There, problem solved
You will get something bud....It sure would
Should I grab my ankles?You will get something bud....
