6th punch

[some1else]

Taking the cheapest way out. That's what multi-billion dollar companies do. You would do the same if it was your company. Why pay double time if you don't have to.

Understood why pay 44 when you can pay 24?
And to skip some pedantic steps why does the same principle that gets us 44 instead of 24 not apply to having a 2 day weekend?

The Union enforces the 44. Apparently, they are not enforcing the 2 day weekend everywhere. Go talk to them.

So is forced 6th day punch going on or not?

In some areas apparently, although is it really forced? UPS is telling package drivers they are scheduled for 6 days.

UPS will get away with whatever the Union allows them to get away with.

Just say no.

That's because you volunteered

Id rather stick my penis in a bees nest than work a Saturday!

Volunteering is a whole different animal.

If they can't get volunteers then they do have to.

If they can't get volunteers then they do have to.

If you can't get enough volunteers load up everyone else. Quick way to get zero volunteers.

Out here they are surveying and expecting a 50/50 split. Most don’t really care. If you want to work then go for it. If not stay home.

Today we are very light. First day in a long while no OT is available. I wonder how long it will last.

They put a lot of extra routes in today

I support my Union. If they think it's the right call, they have my support.

Why didn't these locals negotiate to add protection against the forced 6th day punch? Had months-did nothing.

Add protection? This wasn't a contract negotiation. If it was anything like here the company tried to claim they didn't have proper staffing and that they couldn't hire because they had the staffing but too many out on work-comp, disability, FMLA and oh even leave of absences (our BAs). My local said tough . Informed the assistant director of western region package division of the issue and also stated our position that we will not allow forced 6th days and that we are willing to allow them to use DQ'd drivers as seasonal drivers while they continue to hire.

After that they suddenly had enough staffing and blamed the miscommunication on IE.
