I don’t work at UPS anymore.
I don't know, what does it cost? I'm in NorCal and we don't have Teamcare, seeing as how I pretty much never have a co-pay and my insurance covers everything I figured I was in a Cadillac Plan
I'd like to see changes to vacation selection. I've had two other union jobs and this is the only one that has everyone pick all there vacation for the following year.
Yes I'm low fulltime seniority, I get that I won't have summer vacation for a while, what annoys me is that with summer out, there is start of the year and end of the year for vacation but since I'm towards the end to pick vacation how can it be expected to plan a vacation in Jan or Feb if I don't know I have the week off till mid to late December, on top of getting wife's vacation to line up.
I'd like to see this
Week's are available 52 weeks out to request off and will be open for requesting for 8 weeks, at the end of 8 weeks seniority dictates who gets it off. After 8 weeks if vacation for it is still available for the week it becomes first come first serve.

Used to be the first 6 months would be bid, then around March (I think) the last 6 months of the year would be bid.

I agree that the vacation selection process needs to be changed, but not as you suggested.
The selection would take place in several rounds:
Round 1---everyone chooses 2 weeks.
Round 2---everyone left chooses 2 weeks.
Round 3---everyone still here chooses their remaining weeks.

No problem for you changing the procedure as you're on the way out the door.
The only fair way to open weeks is to incentivize senior employees by increasing pay for non-summer weeks. Remember senior employees also had to wait for summer weeks. Changing the system now, screws those guys.

All this fixes is availability for low seniority folks and makes it worse for those that want to take all their vacation at once.
My issue is why do we select all our vacation at once, and the timing of current way leaves no planning for low seniority people.
Another option is to allow for more people off per week. Or even vacation during peak, they already hire seasonals just get a few more to help cover vacations. I'm sure there is no shortage of applicants.
And for inside employees there shouldnt even be a limit to how many can be off, just allow for double shifting. Smaller Centers maybe limit if they only have 1 sort or only a handful of employees but in large hubs there is never a shortage of those willing work an extra shift
Only way I could see a possibility is to pick the "extra week" in a second cycle. But Dave is out of his mind if he thinks senior employees would go for his plan.

UNLESS the employee shows up and is asked if they would like the day off due to overstaffing. If the employee agrees, they do not get paid the show up money.
If an employee is asked if they would like to leave early and take pay actual, the employee forfeits the right to the 3 1/2 hour guarantee.

Premium pay, either time and a half or double time for ALL work done on Saturday or Sunday. Going Tuesday - Saturday is a concession. Nevermind trying to stop it, that won't work. It's coming either way. Why aren't we demanding compensation for our sacrifices?

There has been alternate schedule language in place for some time now.

What is it? A brown box. Duh
We get 3 weeks vacation after 5 years, but then it takes 10 years to get the 4th vacation week. Be nice if they fill that 10 year gap with another vacation week
1 year 1
2 year 2
5 year 3
15 year 4
20 year 5
25 year 6

Hence the reason I said it's coming. Guess that means we shouldn't fight for anything better. Bring on the concessions
