It's actually a little more lucrative than that, according to his supplement.

UPS isn't working black Friday because Amazon said so. They are doing it for appearance only. It does very little than just waste money at a time when it isn't needed. Unless there is a crippling weather event at any point during peak, the week of Christmas is where the biggest problems arise. Too many air pieces and not enough people to get it done especially when you are getting 3rd waves of air at 3-4pm in the afternoon on Christmas Eve. Setting quotas would make the most sense but UPS isn't going to turn down potential revenue... especially when they are already losing money advancing loads and making 2nd day deliveries on the first day to free up space.

Are you saying that all the late air that is delivered out to the drivers during peak qualifies for a refund? I seriously doubt it. Even when I was working during peak we got air shuttled out to us all day long during peak. Also I was under the assumption that ground wasn't ever a "guaranteed service"--year around.

What I was saying is that many packages get advanced and end up being NDA instead of 2nd day... a free upgrade because UPS is trying to free up space in the system. So I was just saying "losing money" because they are upgrading a service at no cost. They still were paid for a 2nd day service and with whatever discount Amazon gets with prime.
You should always receive bonus pay for working any holiday, double in most, however the holiday pay in most only applies to 1yr+ employees, so you're half correct.

This is what ticks me off most about this forum. People who don't live or work anywhere near me feel it is their right to comment on that which they have no knowledge.
We get 8 hours holiday pay and are paid straight time for all hours worked.

Maybe you won't get "ticked off" if you actually spend your vacation week....on vacation!

You are the worst offender. You commented on the prison break yet had no first hand knowledge of what was actually going on. You have commented on other issues in my area which you had absolutely nothing to do with.
Yahooing is not the same as being there.

Once again... you shot off at the mouth about orion long before you were on it. You hadn't a clue what it was about but you felt the need to comment...
Don't worry, I don't expect a reply so you can just keep scrolling past.

Look in the mirror. That's exactly what you do. Did you ever work part time in your center (let alone recently, to have a current, relevant perspective)? Did you ever work part time in a hub? Have you been through driver training recently, to know what new drivers are/aren't taught? Feeders? What about all the comments you make on FedEx employee issues?
I read the Upstate/West New York rider's holiday language (Article 61), and it seems to say otherwise. If there is a separate letter of understanding or a (precedent setting) grievance decision, I'd be happy to hear about it.
Did you ask your coworkers who worked that day last year how they were actually paid? Was there a grievance filed?
Why does it matter to you at all, since you like to take that week off?

I respect your opinion but you do not work here and have no idea what the guys who worked were paid last year.
Yes, I take that week off every year.
Says the guy who got turned down every time he turned in his letter-of-intent because of a "hiring freeze."
