My point- union allows UPS to do as it pleases.
but is also up to the drivers, if you bark loud enough even the union will support you.
Once i was told " your meal start once you finish your stop and ends a minute before you scan a package" my steward back then told me this was the rule so next day after i finish a stop at a office building i sent a text message to my SUP, manager and steward " As instructed by SUP XXX my lunch has begun and as per DOT regulations, im not allow to be perform duty work while of the clock, diad, 2 pickup RS pieces and hand truck are located at "business address", my next stop after lunch will be at "addy blah blah" make sure to bring my diad and hand truck a minute before my lunch hour is finished but also make sure is done by an union member as it is union work."
then they had the steward calling me to tell me it will be abandoning UPS property blah blah so i just told him " i love the union and all but im on lunch so
off".
next manager called me trying to play the refuse to work as directed, i told him as well to
off, then steward called me begging me to grab my hand truck and diad of the ground.
next day they told me " your meal should start once you get back to your package car and put all your work equipment away and ends once you start moving towards your next stop.
with this diad VI
ill play like sending a message on every stop " warming my hands", "hands warmed", " moving to next stop", " warming my hands" until they get sick of it and tell me just to try my best and do what i gotta do
