No offense but you just don't seem to retain information well at all. You applied but don't know what the position was called. All of that should have been on the job you applied for. Go back and look. You sure it wasn't a seasonal position?
They did this a few people here...
No it wasn’t a seasonal position. I was actually told originally in July that it would be a Full Time Driver position. When I got to training in August, they said I was to be called part-time but would probably work the full 40. And I could apply for a full time position next July when there is a bid.
Face the facts.
Just FYI…this is not how it’s supposed to work. First did you attend integrad or any ups formal training? Some of this would have been reviewed there. Second, same route every day and you are trained on road progressively with a supervisor as new areas are added to the route. As I indicated earlier, the driver packet is to be reviewed multiple times during the course of 30 days. What you are doing well and what you need to improve on. Conversations should have focused on safety, service and on road performance (overallowed). Generally the stewards are involved in those meetings as a witness and to answer any questions you may have in the meeting or later. Are you in a multiple center building or a small stand alone building? Smaller buildings tend not to follow protocol. If those things didn’t happen, you probably have a good case for extension or a do over of the packet - especially if you were added areas to the route and never received training in those areas. Don’t be afraid to ask questions of your management team or steward if you are unsure of something.
I would contact my steward or business agent and relay some of the information in this thread to them. Have them set up a meeting with you, the business agent , the center manager and the labor manager. The labor manager can make the decision to extend or do over the packet. If you haven’t filed a grievance, do so asap with your steward or business agent.
Thank you for the information. It really helps.
I don't think that person is in the union yet.
Maybe not, but he/she still deserves a fair shot. Didn’t sound like that happened here.
Just like every other post on Brown Cafe we only hear part of the story.
That is correct…but he/she can really only be expected to improve with time and training…progressive training. Day 3 and 140 stops is a lazy dispatch.
Honestly most of the supervisors we have couldn't train anybody on a route. They're all young 20-somethings They did their 30 day qualification and never had any real deliveries experience
But if the driver is 2 hours over with the supervisor, why should we expect the driver to scratch? That shouldn’t mean this person doesn’t get an opportunity . That’s where a good steward helps the employee and gets the driver through 30 days. If the driver holds himself accountable to being better he/she will with time.
It's all a big joke anymore. Nobody cares about anything except for your own numbers.
I'm still trying to get it.....
What’s remarkable is that none of your drivel is of the slightest bit of help to the employee.
Half wits
I'm not picking on them but they have no experience nor do they care about anything except how early can I go home
