Forced 6th day punch

[542thruNthru]

Just how the 22.4 guys referred to FT delivery drivers.

0350s

 

[bumped]

They still refer to them as RPCDs in the TA so I'm sticking with it for now.

I identify as a photographer now.

Imagine going in on your day off......he'll I barely work 5 days a week let alone 6 lmao

 

[Ptrunner]

There are so many people that believe they don’t have to work 6 days a week now due to O’Brien and website posting it’s a thing we got. They should not be touting it when it’s only for drivers how disingenuous.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

No forced 6th punch on drivers days off
Hope mr. OBRIEN didn’t lie about this

Read a little farther down where it says that they will meet if staffing issues occur regarding Saturday deliveries. I think that could be problematic.

In my experience language, like that usually favors the company.

Yes- that's my point. If they don't have enough drivers, in the end someone will get forced and the union will allow it. Oh well.

Well, honestly, what did people think was going to happen? They’re just gonna magically hire people because of one day? The vast majority of drivers will not get forced, but the lowest seniority still might.

I believe I’ve read the whole thing and can’t find where they talk about forced 6th for inside workers full/part time. There’s some driver language but not inside workers.

Would that maybe be in the supplements. I see on tdu contract summary they advertise the bulletpoint with driver no forced 6th day.

I was already most likely no but now it’s really likely no if we are still forced in on saturdays during peak. I know preload during Covid were forced 6th day for almost 9 months straight.

What article is the 6th forced punch covered in?

Imagine being told you have to come into work on your off day lmao

I think they thought nobody would get forced. Or I thought they think that. Lol.

UPS 'should' be able to conceivably manipulate the volume that there is the right amount for Saturday and Monday drivers, but that's obviously giving them too much credit.

Yes, they could stop the sort and roll trailers, but doesn’t that defeat the purpose of offering the service option?

Dude, you don't even work here anymore. They advance tons of Monday volume all time time.

 

[Manifesto]

They advance the Monday work and have drivers not at top pay deliver it. Then at my building a bunch of senior drivers don't want to deal with the Monday disaster and take every Monday off. So then once again drivers not at top pay are called in. UPS saves tons of money this way.

The language is pretty clear. Every driver is a 5 day schedule and cannot be forced on an off day.
The addressing of driver shortage applies to making drivers Mon-Fri or Tues-Sat.
They wont change you to Tues-Sat in the middle of the week, only to switch you back again to force you in the next Monday.

It's never "clear". As I said- read down a little farther.

I don't believe there is an article that covers the forced 6th punch.

it is my belief the company just acts tough and pretends that you can be discplined for not coming in on your scheduled off day ;

Sadly , the union usually plays along with this farce.

Inside warehouse works 6 days a week.

All these drivers still concerned that they have to occasionally work on Saturday when Part timers have been doing it for more than a year now.

The contract will apply to top seniority while the rest will be forced.
