It's a problem in a lot of places. I'm pretty sure two of the first places implemented don't have bidded routes. My area, and one out west, not sure where. Read it but someone posted it a while ago.
Casuals coming back march 15th?

It's only a problem if you are at or near the bottom of the seniority list.

I am bottom 15-20 in my center, and I am a bid driver.
As far as casuals coming back Mar 15th to work T-S, I would love that. Unfortunately it won't happen. I don't believe what you heard is correct. Union wouldn't allow it

Some of the weak locals must let the company push them around?
We allow summer-peak casuals only.

Why have a union then?

I would assume there really isn't an official bid for Saturday.
Outside of SAT air, the loaded routes would be primarily heavy residential housecall areas that would mirror a weekday level route.
I'm sure seniority would dictate who does which WAD area, but they would not resemble any M-friend route.

I am not talking about actually working Saturdays. I'm talking about which area you do on a Saturday.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Every time the company asks for anything. Hoffa just bends over and begs they at least use lube.
And his bank account gets fatter.

To reduce my annual income by just over a grand?
They don't go out thus T-S schedule. Most of the ground for Monday would have gotten delivered on Sat... There isn't any more volume coming in the Monday deliveries are getting delivered on Sat. The only reason UPS i doing it is because Fed ex and the post office delivers on Saturday and companies are asking UPS to do the same....

So why do it?

He is explaining it wrong.
All of the ground volume is on property usually by 9 am Saturday morning. They will process ground packages until about 30 minutes before start time. Whatever is left and any commercial send agains that have already been processed will go out on Monday.

Our start time on Saturdays is 9AM. Usually 8:30 during the week. This makes sense.
I am still of the opinion that as of right now, all this has allowed our company to do, is cut more routes during the week. We are running skin and bones around here, as far as number of routes go.

That's the company line. The union is feeding us the same line. So if volume doesn't pick up as a result of this, we'll scrap, this idea? Doubt it! When do we expect to see the "increase" in volume?

Walmart has recently acquired a couple of online businesses and has changed their "Ship to Store" to "Pickup at Store". I deliver to our local Walmart and this volume has increased dramatically; in fact, one day this past week there more PAS than GM (General Merchandise). They are going after Amazon in a big way.
