A lot of times a person can see their family more working feeders even if it's twelve a day...

Just pay into pension all hours worked over 8.0 or 40 plus per week. That was easy…….

You're in a RTW state, does your local have a steward or a BA speak with new members when they are hired?

They may try to claim that it's cheaper to pay overtime & 9.5 grievances than to put out more routes but I have a hard time believing that.
I believe it's more about getting people to leave before they reach pension status so they don't have to pay a guy who's setting @ home.

nowhere special
It is absolutely cheaper to pay overtime and treat grievances as a cost of doing business vs hiring more drivers.

Generally yes, although I know of a few new hires have slipped through the cracks for a while. I've gotten a couple signed up this year who had made book a few weeks prior to our convos.
I'd like to see, and be part of, our local "making a case" to the rookies and, heck, offering a mentorship program of some sort. We all know the rookies are prone to getting overwhelmed and the company generally tries to keep them scared and in qualifying-mode. A little "hand holding" at the outset could go a long way toward making the union stronger. From my own experience, the approach is very hands off. There's not much encouragement to get involved, let alone effort to train up enthusiastic members. And the old informal bar meetups haven't recovered from Covid. Each center used to have a dive, and everyone knew Thursdays you could go here and talk shop, vent, get to know one another, ask questions about the contract. I'm gonna see if I can help revive that tradition.
I mentioned to my BA that we should schedule a Sunday UPS membership meeting soon. We've had a couple and they were successes, even reasonably well-attended. Another Covid casualty.
Not even including the cost of our benefit package but you also have to take into consideration if they may need more vehicles, people services vehicles and more people to load and unload those trucks.
That's also not counting all the dead time of morning meetings, paid breaks and driving back and forth to and from the route.
How about going to work every once in awhile.....UPS isn’t a family oriented job
TOO MANY RUNNERS THAT RUN HOME CAUSE OF THE WIFEY DEMANDING YOU BE THERE!
THEN MY ROUTE GETS CRUSHED

It may be, I'm skeptical. It still wouldn't bankrupt the company to do it. Maybe only profit 7.7 billion instead of 8 billion.

I'm surprised that I've never heard hard figures re: how much our benefits pkg costs per hour. My wife's union gives their membership the exact numbers. Hers is over $20 an hour.
