Anyone OPT in 9.5 under new language yet?

[bleedinbrown58]

Come on, Dave. You've told us (time and time again) what you make every year. There is no way that you work 9.5 hours except a couple days at peak. You get sent out with 10-11 hour dispatches and brag about being home at 1830? Give us a break, or at least admit you don't work in the BOG anymore.

1830? The way I understood many of Dave's posts about his hours...he's home in time for the news at 6.

I rarely if ever work 9.5 hours (or more), even during Peak. My normal dispatch is in the 9.0-9.5 range but there are days when it is in the 10-11 hr range.

My point is the 9.5 language should be changed to address either hours worked or dispatch (or both).

Once or twice a year?

Welcome to the real UPS, Dave.

By saying their "dispatched" hours are right enough to go after then for a 9.5 would make everything else change. Then they would be able to go after you for being over allowed. Let it be hours worked and leave it at that.

Can Tcd's file 9.5's if you work everyday, or do you have to be a "full time" driver? Our center uses about 10 TCD's everyday, most of which get about 200+reports a year. I myself had approx 240 last year.

We dont recognize company numbers. Its always hours worked. What we should concerned about is how many new utility drivers are not eligible for 9.5 grievances. Thanks Jr.

For ever 156 reports by a Tcd they are suppose to create one full time job. You must be full time to be on the 9.5 under the new contract.

4 years full time to be exact! Or be on a bid route for the week.

 

[PaulthaCup]

incorrect, it creates a full time position yes, but not for me, for whoever bids for it, which can be a part-time worker whom has worked there longer than me......it goes by building seniority. So pretty much i create a full time spot for someone whom has more building seniority., an whom may want to go fulltime

Just curious, how did they come up with the 156 reports number..seems a little odd?

*insert random ups/union formula here*=156.

I've been covering a route for three months now. Actually Monday will make four months the regular driver is out on disability. He's a 9.5er but since I've been covering the route I've been clocking out the latest 19:00. I thought I'd get bumped from the route but no one wants the route because they don't like delivering to the Kasier Hospitals, which has about five campuses and all have in side pharmacy deliveries and one main dock delivery. Plus Best Buy and Target. The most I've been dispatched is 140 but still clocked out at a descent time. It definitely beats clocking out at 21:00

I think if you should be able to file if you work more than 9.5 hours or are dispatched with more than 9.5 hours work, regardless of whether you work 9.5 hours or not.

They would just chane the numbers so you're not over 9.5 plan ever.

I see it all the time on routes I run. 200 miles 62 stops 8.9 planned day. 250 miles 70 stops. 9.4 planned day. Lol yeah I'm doing 50 miles and 8 stops in half an hour.

 

[Xexys]

Why not? They have no problem sending me out with a 10 or 11 hour day. Why should I and others like me be penalized for bringing it in under 9.5?

Stop running.

Are there any routes that make bonus anymore??? Seems like the "genie garage door opener hooked to your beltloop" was the final nail in the coffin. Typical corporation, give us a little technology to make the job easier and expect 10x the return out of it...lets take an hour because the door "sometimes" opens by itself...classic...whatever

Yeah my time allowance to grab a package is 7 seconds. Cut in half from 5 years ago. It should of been doubled for Orion instead of cut in half.
