2023 contract

[zubenelgenubi]

I'll reply to whatever comments catch my interest and I feel like responding to.

Fine, but if you pretend that a comment that wasn't aimed at you was, you come off looking foolish.

If your at work they do own the time they are paying you for that's how you get a paycheck.

Thanks captain obvious. If I have to explain all this to you again, I'm done talking to you.

I've had it. We get the right to bring back any work after 8.5 hours, any and every day we feel like, and I'm willing to strike over it. These over dispatches after their TSP lies has pushed me over the edge.

the trucks get trashed bc of last minute add/cuts and the customer outside waiting for me while I’m trying to find it

 

[100%]

Nobody's asking for a 9 to 5. I'm asking for them to stop running us at peak hours all year round. Don't pretend like you're ok with it.

You’re part right. We aren’t asking for 9-5, we’re demanding

Forced OT is modern day slavery. Don’t give me the BS “you get paid”. A work week is 40 hrs not 60.

I am personally ok with the 8.5, but if everyone else is going for 8, count me in.

Here's my take, I knew taking this job that it wouldn't be 40, but it rarely went over 45, and at peak DOT HOS was the limit. But peak was confined to a 4 week period. Then it slowly became two months, then 4, then, oh, it's September already? Ok, peak again next month. These shivering critters are just happy to have a job.

Demand away but what would you honestly forgo to get enough drivers on the road so everyone could have that dispatch?

I am in agreement with you. And I also could never understand why vacations are not permitted during "peak".
All 52 weeks should be made available.....especially nowadays when it's December pretty much year round.

I personally get ample time off between taking my regular vacations and unpaid days, and I don't get hammered with super long days like many others and I'm not really affected by it all. But enough of just "going along with the program" because that's how it's always been.

This company more than ever needs to get the screws tightened on them in a big way. Unfortunately we have too many soft puzzieee $$ drivers and also union stewards who don't have the proper male anatomy to see things thru and get things headed in the right direction.
Saddest thing is that most of the wimp drivers I speak of are long term veterans with no guts who have taken pounding after pounding for so many years......and have no backbone to stand up for themselves.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

This should be good
How’d you come up with this

Just look around chief.

$3 billion of the company's profits sounds good to me.

Sounds great but thats not how it works and you know that.

 

[zubenelgenubi]

Saying that is like taking your most persuasive bargaining chip and flushing it right down the toilet.

They don't know better. I feel bad for them, but doubt I can help them.

 

[imjanedoe]

they won’t even fix pickup logs and pretend to care that customers are disappointed

 

[imjanedoe]

We deliver cat litter dog food toilet paper diapers…it won’t go backwards. It’s not the same as waiting for a special every other week Mary Kay delivery

 

[TarAndFeathers]

Safer working environments inside of the building, particularly maintaining egress so no one is playing hopscotch and doing chicken dances and the hokie pokie with a handful of Hello Fresh Boxes.

 

[TarAndFeathers]

Oh and to stop taking Amazon's volume.

 

[imjanedoe]

I’d like health insurance to also include pets such as dogs cats reptiles fish and such

You can get discounted pet insurance through UPSers. They reimburse all your vet expenses

Do they walk the dogs too?

The problem with todays package driver, the younger generation is they love PVD’s. Why? Anything to make their life easier. They don’t look at the big picture. I left package for feeders right before PVD’s we’re a thing. I would’ve lost my mind had I been directed to give work to some clown driving a Prius. I would’ve rather worked till 10pm every night and bury them in 9.5 grievances then give one stop to a PVD.
