Crazy hours now

4 days with heavy back to school volume on top of already heavier pickups. Next week should be a treat

No one appreciates your negativity. This could be Scholastic Book Fair week instead.

Yeah other side is us.

I figured, hence my reply!

I know just giving you a hard time.

Didn't take it that way. But really- when they can't find anyone to work at UPS and the volume is cranking, is that really the best that the "elected officials" could do?

No idea. It surprises me that they can't find people in some areas. Like I said we have a 11 year waiting list to go FT RPCD.

Not here. Supervisors work non-stop. Local gives them a free pass. Then Big Union Men wonder why people get upset with the situation.

How does the local give them a free pass?

When you file a Art3.7 what do they tell you?

There's no way I would wait around 11 years for this job but I'm sure there people who do it.

Local President is friends with labor manager. Every grievance is considered to have no merit. He is allowing supervisors to work. This union is a joke. Don't really care anymore.

Well you start driving in about 6. Its PT cover driver though. Its 75% of top scale. Then 5 years later you're FT.

We have plenty of trucks. I don't understand why you guys always have so many problems.

Peak volume...9.5
No one wants to drive....11 year waiting list
Not enough trucks.... 20 of them parked in the back

Think we are getting ready to put another driver on. He started as seasonal handler last peak.

Luckily I don’t think we have 1 person on vacation. Will management put in enough routes though

My old route used to get a ton of books. The JC on my old route got 40 boxes of books a day all through August. The Barnes and Noble got about 120 a day.

What scholastic like?

They basically ship the whole book fair through us to small schools. Then we get to pick it all up too when it’s over.
