at my center.... There is a huge influx of new drivers. I mean massive. Lots of guys went to feeders and lots of guys retired
I’m trying to keep these new young guys up with all the contract chatter. So far from, what I have understood from them....
They have no problem working 70hr a week “that’s mad money brah”
They have no problem having 2 split days off, as most already get talked into it by the supervisors with our current sat deliveries
They have no problem with ups only giving us pension benefits up to 40hr because they don’t understand
They are terrified to get on th 9.5 list because of being a “target”
They wouldn’t mind 3x13s.... that’s 4 days off!!! I sadly have to explain how
ed they are missing out on over time. I think the 3x13 is simply a ploy by ups to get us to settle with more 4x10s
They absolutely don’t want to strike because they wasted their money on stupid cars and stupid houses and are scraping by.
We need to do the best that we can to educate these guys on “the good old days” and how stuff was/should be. Otherwise, we’re honestly
ed come voting time. I hope other places are diff, but my big hub has me worried.
