Well-put. I would love to discover how it was our union allowed this stupidity to happen. Because it's got plenty of drivers drinking the company kool-aid.
Drivers: who else is permanently coded 05 (pay actual)?

It’s a side agreement and really it’s the company‘s trick to get you to pay attention to the numbers that were specifically negotiate it to ignore. People fall for it because they’re greedy and think it’s free money when it is nothing more than a way to bind you up in chains to their ever-changing numbers.

In other words locals allowed it? If it ever got voted in here I'd file Article 6.1 NMA against it lol. And do more than that.
My position remains: bonus should not have been allowed, and wherever it has been allowed, it should be abolished.

I don’t recall the issue (before my time) but I believe it went to arbitration years ago and was allowed with a vote, Center by center.

Our center has it. Roughly three drivers run under scratch 4 out of 5 days a week.

Thanks for the info. Of course it was an arbitration decision, that tracks. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF. I'm hoping I will get to chat with O'Brien tmrw. The only thing I will bother him about is the minor issue of getting rid of all the no-strike clauses.

Of course that's not a problem to you but code 06 with 7.5 hrs isn't acceptable.

Yes Knee injuries, shoulder injuries, hip replacements. That’s what happens when they keep moving the numbers, and bonus babies keep chasing.

The job has too many daily variables. One driver with a large number by very small-light pieces would get bonus but another doing the same but picking up heavy bombers might not for example.

UPS will leave a couple of routes with very generous allowances as teasers for runners but most other routes quickly lose time on paper as soon as bonus goes in. I have been in centers with and without bonus so saw it happen. And was in a center when bonus went in and the numbers didn't change back after bonus was voted out.

My center is a bonus center and i hate it. It encourages bad and unsafe habits. The numbers and allowances always seem to slowly change too but never in your favor. Talking to long timers some say they used to run an hour or two under and now are an hour or two over but they run the routes the same way.

Every tough guy runner-gunner bonus driver in this forum is riding the bonus gravy train. They are shafting the company with all the free money they are hauling in. Not one ever got burned.

Boom baby automatic 2 hours bonus

Then UPS goes in with a "containerized" allowance to take back that extra bonus money.

Hey UPS management. I will strike over this and everything else. YOU WANT A STRIKE, YOU GOT ONE. You laid your hand way too early. Everyone pay attention, even the anti strikers. It will take feet to the pavement bc they just called our bluff, and gave us the middle finger. #UPSstrike2023
Yep I just posted saying UPS is already calling our bluff. Get your strike fund ready. UPS is sending a clear signal to everyone that they want a strike. How stupid is UPS management? They will be the first employees laid off. Lmao
