@mechanicinblue said ↗Trimming as in buyouts not lay off language to negotiate. I feel it be a more fair way for everyone like I said in original comment. Just my opinion where I was there as a teamster mechanic and drivers less time than me got the buy out and others that have more years bid into other jobs are also not included in the buyout. 30 plus year part time also not included . If you feel that’s fair no reason to debate. Just let the company do as they please. Buyouts are not supposed to be for everyone. They are targeting the classification/jobs where they are the most overstaffed. Inside employees, both full-time and part-time, are left out for that reason. Because that’s typically the areas with higher turnover. There’s no need to offer buyouts to departments that are usually understaffed. UPS could easily layoff people without buyouts. But then they’d have to deal with unemployment and having those laid off on their books for the foreseeable future. They don’t have to negotiate buyouts. Should they? I think so. But legally/contractually? They don’t. @1030 said ↗They have enough work for every driver to get 8 hours. Cutting routes and then sending those remaining out with 10-12 hour dispatches isn't overstaffing. Thats not normal. Nor year round. And definitely not happening everywhere. Remember all of the COVID hires? And you’re leaving out the fact that UPS is purposely shrinking while also involuntarily losing accounts. So, any center that’s not already overstaffed, definitely will be soon.

UPS could easily layoff people without buyouts. But then they’d have to deal with unemployment and having those laid off on their books for the foreseeable future. They don’t have to negotiate buyouts. Should they? I think so. But legally/contractually? They don’t.

They have enough work for every driver to get 8 hours. Cutting routes and then sending those remaining out with 10-12 hour dispatches isn't overstaffing.
