Bragging About Your Wages On Social Media Is Just Dumb!

[Its_a_me]

If you are a top rate RPCD driver you can make around 85k with zero overtime.

Where is this zero overtime required RPCD job located and where can I sign up for it?

Must be Fantasyland---I've heard that is where drivers can actually spend hours at night with their families in Nov, Dec, and Jan.

Realityland where the kind of seniority to have zero forced OT hasn't existed since 2013 at least.

$40 an hour PT Preload? Doubtful, never said that. They will definitely be making over 20. Most likely around 21 to start with a raise every year for five years of the contract

The company pays 22.3 preloaders $35/hr. What is the difference between a PT pereloader and a FT preloader? How much does the constant PT revolving door of untrained, unmotivated preloaders cost the company? Even at $15/hr I see good people coming in just to quit after a couple months for better jobs and the toxic UPS workplace. Is this smart business?

Hey I’m with you let’s make everyone the same scale. After a small progression everyone goes to Topscale. just like the red Circle guys. Download the app and submit your proposal.

Why couldn’t someone learn those jobs? The people that went into those trades were not the brightest kids I went to school with.

They went to college and became doctors and lawyers

Most plumbers and electricians I know couldn’t physically handle a day delivering for UPS.

Some of you guys act like you’re navy seals. Try laying a couple hundred yards of concrete, roofing, black topping. There’s a ton of more physical jobs and a lot of UPS guys are still fat. Which blows my mind

Just to have the Union delete the proposal.

That’s not how it works. Even in the The last regime didn’t do that. They just constantly did not understand what the proposals meant. They legitimately thought drivers complaining about hours and Saturdays meant we wanted a new classification. It was wrong headed.

Perhaps it won’t close, but it will not expand, although I think you may underestimate the companies satisfaction with 22.4. They may well want it gone.

That’s what our Division Manager is saying. 22.4 gone. Idk if that’s true.

Our management team said the same thing about PVDs. Still got them. I and other air drivers made a lot of money off of PVDs not showing up. Paid at top driver rate. I doubt if your Division manager is on the negotiating team. You may not realize how far down the ladder a Division manager is. He may as well be a PT Division manager.

I believe division managers want it gone I do not know if the people higher up do. They seem to be quite disconnected from reality.

I agree. Their not always that well informed which is why I’m not holding my breath with what she said.

Definitely. She’s tired of the rolled Saturday packages because of all the call outs etc..

It’s funny you said that because we had a visit from Carol and her entourage. She told a on car that she or somebody would work with the Union on getting more 22.4’s. Nope. Never happened. Never was going to happen because our BA was never going to waive the 25 percent rule anyway. None of them know the contract or even care! All they care about is the profits!

Read an article about quiet quitting. Employees just doing their job and not giving 150% anymore just to get the job done. My manager taught me that lesson a few years ago. I make more money now then ever and work half as hard. I was never like that before. Job comes first was always my motto.

And your BA could be sincere and hold the line in your Local.

Realistically he doesn’t have to do anything except uphold the contract. He’s on the side of right. They will lose the argument at a panel.

Fat UPS drivers struggle

We call it pouring concrete…not laying it

Have you ever delivered for UPS or poured concrete?

He is up against a UPS labor manager that is trained to deny every grievance. You are lucky to have a skilled negotiator. Other BAs have the backbone of a dishrag.

All the BA has to do is say this is deadlocked and let somebody else handle it. That’s a pretty easy case to write up.

As a general rule it is never a good idea to brag, boast or otherwise say anything to anyone about how much you make. You will invariably alienate most people, especially those who are struggling in the current inflationary environment. Keep your head down, do your job, bank your check every week and keep quiet about it. Otherwise do not cry about the uproar you create.

 

[Brownwind]

OK. I'll clarify it.

Within the first 30 days, a driver learned


How to use the DIAD
How to enter/exit the package car
What the next stop is by using Orion
How to select the next package
How to safely deliver that package
How to do pickups
How to load those pickups into the package car
How to drive safely

Am I missing anything? Maybe over the next several months they may pick up a little speed delivering, but there is not much else to learn or practice. Maybe area knowledge. We drive a truck and deliver cardboard. Sometimes long hours and sometimes in the heat of the summer.

Missing anything??? Driving in ice and snow
