Whos safer?

Isn't it layoffs by category? If its full time layoff then its FT seniority that is most important and if they are laying off part timers then it reverts to PT seniority?

Would laid off FT employees be able to displace 2 PTers to get their hours?

I think they would have to be qualified to do the PT job and would displace the least senior PT employees.

I don't think it would be too hard to qualify for unloading feeder trailers. Yes the laid off FT would have to have more company seniority to bump the PT person.

I have a pulse and can breathe fog on to a mirror----pretty sure I am qualified.

In the Central.... a full-timer would displace the least seniority part-timer (or 2).

Unless the position, requires passing a "sort test".... there is no qualifying.

Umm.... if your Local has not hired part-timers in years....

But, I doubt that is the case.

You have a job.... for life.

We all do.

This is the way it is in L177. Maybe different in other locals?

I have 7 years part time in so far. If a full time driver that has been with the company gets laid off, he CANNOT bump me. These are the rules in my area.

(Psst.....if you are one of the two lowest seniority PTers on your shift, he CAN bump you)

We hire weekly at the Mesquite TX hub. I doubt Any layoffs will happen. We're still working 7 hours a day PT

Sorry I left something out of my first post. If I have 7 years part time and a 5 year full time driver get laid off he cannot bump me. It is different for parts of the country.

(Psst....yes he can, if you are the lowest seniority PTer in your building)

Not in my local he can't company seniority trumps full time seniority.

 

[1000RR]

When working inside the hub. A driver can bump 2 part timers to get his 8 hours. but only if driver has more company seniority than the part timer.

I'm not going to argue with you but I think you are mistaken.

Same in 639. A laid off FT driver can only bump PT workers with less company seniority.

Scenario: say you FINALLY go fulltime driving after you use to pass it up when they called. You have been there for 10 years. Now someone else has been there 4 years but they went fulltime the first chance they got. So now they have more driving senority then you in terms of vacations, getting days off, etc. But u have been at the building 6 years longer than them.

Now say something happens where they lay off mass drivers. New competition, work automation, whatever. I know drivers get sent back to the building if they are laid off for an excessive amount of time. But who is completely out of work and on the streets first if you are both drivers?

If they have to layoff so many people then it's a moot point. UPS would be out of business and probably and the US economy in the crapper.
