Forced lunches

[BigUnionGuy]

You know it's pretty much all driving only That's what they use them here for

If there is a widespread abuse of that, it will be addressed in the next contract.

Well we all knew that would happen. Ups wasn't going to pay someone driver wages to load cars when they can use them as a discount ground driver instead.

UPS always agrees to contract language they don't like, and then.... tries to

get what they wanted through the grievance procedure or arbitration.


It's their "age old" tactic.

They've been doing it since 1997 and the 22.3 jobs.

That wasn't the intent of the language.

Why would it include, the caveat of a 90 minute gap ?

It's new language.

There is always an adjustment period.


We'll see what happens.

I would love to believe that if it wasn't for language like this...

Just take your lunch man, it’s the law in most states. If you absolutely have to be productive during lunch then sort your truck during that 30 min, have every address lined up in order so when you get off lunch you breeze through the second half of your day. I don’t recommend doing any kind of work on your lunch break but I understand where you’re coming from.

He should get a job with banker hours if he NEEDS to be off early every day. He makes us all look bad by working through or working on his lunch. When you are off the clock, DO NOT WORK!

...and when you are on the clock do the job the way that you were trained, which includes bring OS pkgs to the front door...

Why did Denis say on one of the calls that 22.4s would probably only drive? Maybe I imagined that too.

Just ask sups for a 7.5 hr dispatch and you will work anything over that for free in exchange for getting done when you want to.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I jokingly asked my former center manager for a 6.5 hour dispatch for my last day. He said that he couldn't do that but he did lighten me up by moving some of my pickups. I ended up flying through the day and asked for the pickups back. Was still punched out and gone early.
