Not here. They are pushing the no 9.5 really hard.
Do you think OT will ever come back?

They want our “PAID” days below 9 hours....”PLAN” days are hovering around 8.
They’ve only asked or offered Saturday as an option one week since this started and this was this past weekend.
Ask for extra work you say.....hard for a 2 year guy to get that kind of action when you have 20 year guys asking too.
This has been the main point I’ve been trying to make in regards to our low starting wage.
The prestige of UPS came with many things.....great money was no exception.
You will get a nice retro check. Eventually....

Oh that will be nice but much like the last one will pale in comparison to our settlement check for no 10 minute breaks. That was a nice surprise for sure.
You are in progression, correct?

40 hours a week is 70K. Sound like pretty good money to me

Bam all done!!
I’m on the west coast none of this is going on in our building. It’s bussiness as usual .
My bad. Some on the younger guys will be getting a nice retro check. $2- $4 an hour.

It’s ok......Hell that will be nice for them for sure. I just know it was always nice to tell new guys that progression may take a long time but you’ll be able to make up for it with overtime. As of now those days are gone.

Also sounds like the average cost of a car after financing for 8 years.

I will be getting anywhere from $3-6k for my retro check depending on when these supplements get through. Need that money now!

Need me to PayPal you $3?
Same here. Still getting my 11.5 a day. But I do have some late pickups. Should be interesting if they try to take away my pickups....

I’m in NorCal in the Bay Area and we are about four weeks into no OT.
When I first read about it here I Never thought it was gonna happen here for the main fact that we have had an incredible difficult time highering people for all shifts in all buildings.
Their solution was to start hiring people from the valley which is about 2 1/2 hours away. Busses have been bringing employees in from there for going on a few weeks now.
Today we’ve got helpers on routes that barely have 8 hour days for just the driver. Yeah.....never would of believed it.
Maybe some of the new guys will stay. The newbies Don't want to work all kinds of hours
Yes. They couldn't even make the "on-time network" last 2 days in my building.
Some bean counter somewhere is going to have a "Eureka" moment and realize that two drivers at straight time is more expensive than one driver at overtime...before considering benefits.
OT will never be completely gone.

Here’s what I’m wondering. How are they handling routes going out with less than 8? Are they automatically paying the guarantee or are they telling you that you have to message the center and ask them what they want you to do?
