Every day except Mondays we have at least a dozen drivers volunteering to take a day off, I counted 16 yesterday plus 4 call ins. I’ve been taking one day off a week so a 22.4 can get some work, most RPCD’s have been doing the same. Volume has been very light. Layoffs are inevitable here. Hopefully things will pick up in the summer. I think most drivers will be back by prime week.

It's interesting how there are buildings we're this is happening. I work at a building in the Midwest and we don't have enough drivers. Over 50% of the routes on Saturdays are done by rpcds who volunteer to come in and make overtime. No one in my center is ever forced in on a 6th day. Management in my center doesn't want anyone going home during the week. There have been Saturdays lately where supervisors were working we were so short drivers.

You use supervisors instead of PT air drivers to deliver Saturday volume?

It's only happened a handful of times. Many of our drivers don't really care as long as it doesn't affect them personally which is a crappy attitude to have. Our pt air drivers were doing pickups on routes for a period of time but then grievances were filed for that and it stopped. Our building went so far over this past peak on a Saturday and had each center manager do a route and grievances were filed.

Ya it was ridiculous.

My God, I would’ve made so much money on grievances

My Toyota has 385,000 miles on it.

How does a car get 385K miles?
It's a good bet it's not owned/driven by a "soccer mom".

I own a 1999 Toyota product with 172K on it and I thought that was good.

Maybe a regional sales rep or;
someone who drive 70 miles (one way) to work?

This average Joe isn't gonna see 385K.
What am I doing wrong?

That’s a lot of highway miles

 

[trickpony1]

That's right and we all know highway miles are much easier on a car than "soccer mom" and driving 20 miles to work.

Most soccer moms have a caved in dimple on each corner of the bumpers.

My Local put a stop to supervisors working by using PT air drivers to perform bargaining unit work.

Which would’ve been fine for a short bit, but not a permanent solution. If there’s a need for that long, they need more full-time people.

I agree. They need to. Maybe they'll wait until August to hire more people.

In my center if I file on this the union steward ends up taking that money and not me.

Well, to be honest, I very rarely file grievances for money because I do not want people to think I do that myself. I think that is a crappy thing to do.

Need the people they do hire to show up and work.

I hope you are being factitious. Or we just have wildly differing ideas on what a reputable car is...You can get a 2016 Ford Escape with 50k miles for half that. Maybe that's not a reputable car to you, but to many people that car would be dynamite.

If you lived in a 3rd world country
No self respecting ups man gonna be caught dead in a Ford escape

That's a company problem.

UPS.... should make it worth everyone's while to be there.
