[QUOTE="wily_old_vet, post: 89109, member: 2183"] Retired-The way you answered is why everyone reacted as they did. It is in the contract that if a person WORKS over 9.5 hours three times in a week a grievance can be filed. Since the union has never recognized the time standards UPS has set and UPS knew that when agreeing to this in the last contract it means the planned day means nothing in this arena. Of course mgt will claim the driver is dogging it and the driver will say he is doing the best he can. As stated in other posts there will be ride alongs with a driver filing a grievance. Most drivers do take pride in the job they do, however the company makes it impossible in some cases to do the job with that pride. The company, in the past couple of years the company arbitrarily reduced the package allowance by 5 seconds per pkg, saying they had never changed the standard from the days of paper recording. Bull. This company is way too good at finding ways to squeeze pennies from everything to have "overlooked" this for so many years. It took them three versions of the DIAD to discover this oversight. Yeah right! Every company wants to get as much productivity as possible but sometimes you can go too far. [/QUOTE]
