[QUOTE="HULKAMANIA, post: 1456644, member: 36802"] Heffernan you are comparing apples and oranges with your statement. You cant compare just any other day to a day that is written in the contract as a holiday. The contract SHOULD be WRITTEN LITERALLY to eliminate all confusion such as this. You act like people are stupid and thats simply not the case. Hey you might like the extra pay and such but there are many out there that have always had plans with family at that time. If you want to work it then fine so be it thats the way its been and should remain. Stop treating the others as if they dont have a valid complaint because they do. You guys get on here and act like people overreact and thats not really true either. What happens if UPS just decides OH by the way we are working Saturday and Sunday now? I mean heck it doesnt say in the contract that they cant. Some will say they frown on a 6th punch in....Well the contract said we arent required to work the day after Thanksgiving but we got told OH by the way you are working....This isnt how it should have taken place and thats the bottom line. So because of foul weather last year and because of Amazon's stupidity here we are. Amazon is a big account I get it. What was the point of hiring all these extra drivers and seasonal drivers if not to add routes for added volume? So if we have the extra man power why are we doing this? Whos to say weather wont do the same thing again this year? That one day isnt going to amount to much in the grand scheme of things. Most businesses will be closed and what little ground "in comparison to normal" there will be wont constitute a full staff as they are saying. Like I said we all know the model that UPS runs by. They will say all this and then cut routes. When Monday comes around they will still cut routes when the work is actually there. It just gets old the stupidity that takes place constantly. Someone said "Adapt or become extinct" REALLY?!?! Ok so business sense says lets pay drivers $1000 for one day of work...As opposed to regular pay plus extra seasonal drivers that Monday at half the pay? Call me crazy but I will take the later of the 2 if it was my business. I can see it now...After the 1st of the year they will say OH WE SPENT TOO MUCH FOR PEAK NOW WE REALLY GOTTA CUT BACK...and us drivers will be the ones BONED once again. The more I sit and think about this the more it just ticks me off. [/QUOTE]
