At ODFL where I work had to lay-off this month and most ltl carriers I've seen layoff discussions in there forums, but I haven't here. Has UPSF been able to avoid the lay-off scourge totally?
 
were expanding, zone terminals going up everywhere.

Some terminals are laying off but freight levels are up, there expanding the use of contractors and sales are actively going after the competitions freight.

Overnite was quite small compared to other freight companies, UPS wants us to triple in size.

A total of 6 including myself, I should be the first to go back when (if) they recall. I hear the subcontractors are staying extra busy in the meantime though. Prior to the 6 in December, 5-6 were laid off in November.
How about your terminal?
 
So is upsf must be using contractors because they are cheaper than the set pay scale they must pay their own employees. If this is correct, does anyone feel that more upsf jobs will be continued to be cut in future? Or would a move to upsf if possible be a safe one?
 
The subcontractor issue has been grieved and from what I understand, It is either in arbitration or it is going to arbitration. Overall, as far as a good company to work for - I think UPSF is one of the best. If you get a chance to work for them, I say - go for it!

I really dont think a lack of tractors has anything to do with it. Putting the laid off drivers back in the tractors and allowing them to haul the freight instead of subcontracting it out would allow them to stop renting trucks.
 
the company is testing us down, here the contractors are usually 3-4 hours late that puts everything behind the minihub in oro only has 9 doors to break out of when you get 3-4 contractors come late and those trailers have to be carried over onto the minihub it puts the whole system in a bind.


The company is pushing the contractor issue and Hoping we accept it.

I agree -They are trying to set presidence with the use of subcontractors. Sure hope the Union puts this one to rest soon. I'm out of the loop right now and not sure where the grievance process stands on the subcontractors.
 
it went to the national grievance panel and the issue was deadlocked, the arbitrator will deceide at the end of march.
