UPS shutting down 138 hubs nationwide

[Wally]

The center I work at is 15 minutes from where I currently live. They are moving the work (feeder routes) 200 miles north. Maybe I don't understand the question?

So the closest feeder job is 200 miles?

What's confusing you so much Wally? The feeder department of some podunk town in rural Georgia is being shut down and moved to a large hub.

Give me a few min and I'll draw you a picture.

200 miles away? That is crazy far.

I have heard of runs being moved years ago in South Texas. There was a driver in Corpus Christi, his run got moved to San Antonio so he moved and followed the work. There’s more opportunity in a larger hub, more runs to bid from. It sucks that you have to move to keep your job but I would rather be a feeder in ATL than a package driver anywhere.

Years ago our small center (24 drivers at that time had 6 feeder routes out of it. Day and night Minneapolis- Day and night Fargo., ND and Day and night Bemidji,Mn. One day a new (lazy a hell) manager took over our center who made it know to corporate that he wanted nothing to do with feeders. Within a years we had ZERO feeder routes ran out of our center.

Not after IE ed it up.

it's not IE, it's the inherent disorganization the company has

we centralize the things that should be decentralized and vice versa

 

[Sixth Punch Sense]

Ever think about not running and gunning all day

I don't, on the 9/5 clocked out at 9

Has anyone else heard anything about this? Our hub is being shut down and 19 feeder drivers being laid off causing a chain reaction of people losing their jobs. We're not getting very clear answers on anything. Just wondering what anyone else knows?

This is the first I've heard of such, please keep us informed as the situation develops.

 

[RMR46]

Can I not follow their work?

It could be the smallest of hubs like one belt that ain't going to cut it anymore. And everybody wanted to be a fat cat feeder driver cuz that is so cool and so easy? So how does it feel fat cat

I'm just telling you what I was told by our union. Don't know if it's true or not

 

[pkgdriver]

How many hubs(air and ground) are there in the US?
Cant be a whole lot more than 138.

 

[MetalUPSworkhorse]

Yeah it's a long way. Most of us are small town South Georgia people and aren't exactly big on the idea of moving to Atlanta. Trying to stay positive about it though. The bigger thing was about the amount of hubs they told us were closing. Why would they even tell us that? No one else seems to be hearing that. The whole thing is just a little

Nothing is happening until after the contract is settled. Supposed to be new language about transferring agreed upon in it (according to the update webinars the IBT put out). Best bet is to wait and see once it has been settled.
