[QUOTE="cino321, post: 1134633, member: 6786"] By giving away full time ground work? No thanks. This board is telling the part timers they'll have more opportunity to make money by part time cover driving. What the part timers aren't realizing is that they're only delaying their own wait to go driving full time. The death of the full time cover driver in this local will significantly eliminate full time jobs. What's the current wait time on the list? 2-4 years? That's nothing compared to what you hear on this forum in some of the other locals where they have part time cover drivers. Tack on the new pay progression and any UPSer in this local is going to waiting a minimum of 10 years to hit top pay in a full time gig. If that wasn't bad enough, they want to let the company cover feeder vacations with seasonal hires during the summer? So the feeder list won't move (as if it doesn't move slow enough) and package car drivers will be stuck and the part timers will have to wait even longer for a full time gig because the package car drivers won't be going anywhere. They are completely sugarcoating this contract by telling the full timers their pension will increase and selling the part timers on it by promising them all this extra work. Long term wise, this is a nightmare. [/QUOTE]
