Last week, I ran into a UPS guy who mentioned that January lines were built to 80 hours plus and December volume was the highest UPS has ever had. He couldn't understand why UPS hadn't started to recall yet. So does anyone know what's going on?

What is worse than people going for these jobs from off of the street are the ones who will go for it out of the 109. Sorry, but if any of "us" go for these positions, they will be the true scum.

Truer words never spoken. I highly doubt any of us would be that stupid.

If "109s" who apply are scum, and a street app is a "scab"... then who are you going to allow to apply?

Just wondering.

That's the point...This posting by UPS should remain open and unfilled for a long, long time. Just saying.

Even if it would put 12/109 back to work? Just asking.

You obviously don't work here and know how despised these people are. Money isn't everything in life. I'd rather greet blue hairs at Wal-Mart than take that job.

UPS recently furloughed a dispatcher. They put him on the street for a few months and offered him a job in management. He took it. He had to resign, get rehired and he came back with a pay-cut and works a lot more hours. Genius.

Please note I don't consider managers hired before the furlough in the same group.
Those considering these positions certainly deserve any label they earn for THEMSELVES. For most of us unemployed, these positions are simply not an option.

Just a scare tactic to all the FQS's, "if you sign the cards, we will replace you and throw you to the wolves".........
