I assume your kidding ... costly in that it costs money.
You have solid gold faucets in your home? Probably not because it is too costly.
Geez, I guess this goes to show we let anybody post on here don't we?
The question is: "To whom would these proposals be costly?"
Your answer is: "costly in that it costs money."
I'm scratching my head here. Do we need terrible reading comprehension to post here?

whats the reasoning behind requiring UPS to continue medical coverage for soldiers who get deployed? Don't active soldiers already get better health coverage than we do? Whats the point in double-covering them?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
I liked the heated mirrors one.
A few that I thought were totally unreasonable. DUI or drug addicts jobs will be held for 3 years. That's a little much.
Also the part that said we could refuse to take a truck out that way loaded too full and we consider unsafe. I see this being abused big time.

The sell out is UPS being able to drag you out for 10 years as a casual with no vacation...are you telling me they couldn't have brought you on earlier with full time work...that's bs and a total loophole

I agree. Keep seniority, no medical coverage, we did a lot but no double dipping!!
because it is part of their compensation?

Buying some fans for the trucks and the costs associated with them is a drop in the bucket in what the keyless entry cost to put in and maintain
For those who aren't familiar, most state laws allow the employer to collect a fee from the employee as the cost of complying with the garnishment order. The fee isn't just something UPS decided to impose, it is written into the state laws. IMO, no employer should have to eat the cost of complying with an employee's personal legal issues. Yes, UPS is a big company that could absorb this cost but is it right to expect any employer to take this cost? Cost of paying the employee for work performed...yes. Cost of dealing with attorneys and legal paperwork related to child support payments...no.
That said, some of the fees are a bit excessive. Most are a per payment fee like $1 which is pretty reasonable. This covers the cost of receiving the paperwork, sending it to the company that scans it into a special computer program, processing it in the payroll system, making sure the payments go to the correct collector, check printing costs, postage for non-electronic payments, dealing with the hundreds of weekly phone calls from lawyers, ex-spouses, etc. We have a dedicated department of about a dozen people who deal with this stuff all day long. I worked in that group for a few months and it's a beating. The endless phone calls from the angry ex-wives were enough to drive me to drink.
The fees I think are a bit excessive are the ones tied to a percentage of the debt. It's been a while but I think it was Illinois that allowed us to charge a flat 2% fee. Also, if there is a long term wage attachment that isn't changing, like a child support agreement, and it's an electronic payment, there really isn't any cost to the company once it's been set up in the system.

Hall also acknowledged that they are also working on having soldiers who are called up to serve, come back to work with their vacation credited. As of now if you don't get your required reports because you are serving our country in some capacity, you come back with no vacation time. I don't even know why this is an issue, oh yeah, because UPS has to be forced to do the right thing.

You build up leave which is like vacation in the Army and take that when you come off deployment. After a year away I was ready to go back to work.

Absolute loop hole! Union sells out smallest group. Honestly w all the part timers whining. I don't feel they don't have much ground. They have all the power over everything. The full time drivers will do best for themselves. They don't get what they want TFB. Casuals were less than 1%. No way will they be heard. The progression should be part time to casual to fulltime( for those whom wish to deliver) The union will sell out the new hires Imo. Especially if there is a bonus. As upstate has declared. The closer it gets. Two teir is coming. Or we will have to decide. No pay for sell out of people not hired yet. No pay for insurance.

And you have to work another full year worth of reports to get your following years vacation. You'd basically come back and not have a single week of vacation through a full report cycle. How is that fair to make them "earn" the credits for the following year since they were fighting for our freedom?
