You forgot OT. $15,000/yr.
What district are you in? Cause here in Ohio valley district I thought top pay was $33.80 an hour for package car and feeders....?
Gotcha right on for the explanation

Ask upstate about sorting off the clock. He admits to doing it every single day. Must be nice to write ups a huge check over the course of a long career

We have a guy at our center who has worked preload since Carter was president. If he sees any driver working off the clock, he will threaten a grievance.

No offense meant to you if that driver was/is a buddy of yours, cementups, but that driver's kind of a d-bag for going for a workman's comp claim for an injury sustained playing, not football even, but
ing catch.I don't think I'd ever go for workman's comp unless I felt the company itself was at fault for my injury or if I'd go thousands of dollars of debt trying to cover medical costs myself. Neither is likely to happen but they're both possible....
I just feel like dude jammed his finger and saw an easy couple of paydays. I understand that thinking, but I definitely don't respect it.
We can grieve that? With a chance of winning the grievance, I mean? I always thought that was kind of an SOL position and grievances were between Teamsters and management-- not Teamster-on-Teamster.
I regularly get sent home about 15min-30min before air runs simply because the drivers have shown up and are told to wrap up their loads themselves, and it's crazy because lately I make sure I'm always one of the last two people on my belt pulling packages for my entire side-- I've recently been moved to a much more conventional belt than the doghouse I've been in for the past year-- while they send all but one other loader (to cover the other side) on the belt home. [That previous sentence is long af, bros, but I checked and checked and checked and that ma
a is not a run-on. Proud of myself for that.] Once the drivers start trickling in, though, we get the boot real in' quick. I know I can grieve when supervisors start doing that, but I had no clue I could grieve drivers working off the clock.... Don't think I would unless I was feeling extra spiteful that day, though.

I'll be put out in a spare truck frequently. It's tempting to check the oil, coolant and for the hand cart, fuel card, chains (winter) off the clock when you have NDAs. I've gotten to the point though where I would rather talk to the center manager about lates than do all of it for free.

When PAS came in, the same guy led a loader grievance against the unload for going faster due to there was no need to read zip codes any more.No offense meant to you if that driver was/is a buddy of yours, cementups, but that driver's kind of a d-bag for going for a workman's comp claim for an injury sustained playing, not football even, but

You have any idea if he wins that stuff, though? That second example you just mentioned sounds real flaky to me. Like the dude's just jaded and thinks filing grievances is "getting back at them," whoever he thinks "them" might be.
Seniority's a bitch sometimes but I really do stand by it.
But seriously, I think grievances are only won when there are provable contract violations that involve management. Your co-workers working too fast? Lol, better keep up, in my opinion... filing a grievance is just dumb in that situation-- to me at, least.
I thought when employees had any kind of violations, they just started down the long road of progressive discipline at UPS.

The grievance would be against management for allowing drivers to work off the clock loading their package cars.No offense meant to you if that driver was/is a buddy of yours, cementups, but that driver's kind of a d-bag for going for a workman's comp claim for an injury sustained playing, not football even, but

I think that every driver sorts at the start of their career. I did. I do not anymore. I also do not look at Orion maps or download EDD until after the start time. I am kind of surprised at the number of really high seniority guys in my building that look at the Orion maps before start time.
If I have a problem with Orion, I talk to a supe at the end of the day, while I am still on the clock.
