Part Timers Don’t deserve $25

[P£INinY0uR***UnionGuy8564]

It's right up your alley. Drive a PITO doing jack , lunch, then brown up and drive a non A/C truck

I actually wouldn't mind that at all.

Have part time sups fetch misloads on road. Watch how fast misloading becomes top priority.

this has been done, its totally ineffective, it burns out the PT sups, makes them quit and doesn't accomplish literally anything

human beings just dont process simple numbers very accurately; letter-only PAL's have a lower misload rate, but even thats not good enough

the more we dumb down the process, the more our human brains check out and thus the misload rate goes up

More excuses than a bowlers towel.

Everyone knows the cause of missorts. Trying to jam too much too quick and overloading the lines.

Just gonna be honest here, its a part time job for a reason. Why should they make equal pay? If you want to make more money, then why are you doing a part time job? Also, is it really that hard to load and unload trailers? It’s basically grunt work, and you should make accordingly. 21 is more than good enough for what they do

I'm going to be honest here. Equal work deserves an equal pay rate PERIOD. The work is just as hard for a part timer as it is for a full timer. We have hubs that have both part time and full time shifts. They do the same work. There is no reason that a part timer should be penalized in pay. They are after all getting fewer hours. If I had remained part time I would be making 35 cents an hour less than a full timer. At a 17 1/2 hour weekly guarantee I would be living just above the Federal poverty level for a family of 5. A second job would be necessary to get by somewhat comfortably.

nothing to do with it, I've seen completely blown the out days with 0 misloads and light holiday sorts with dozens

you are literally just like corp management, you have never done the job and have no idea what actually goes into it

We all know what the problem is. Same reason preload is never wrapped, all hub sups are worried about is their own numbers. Jam it through, send people home. Leave a mess.

They should know better to even think about fetching misloads. its been tried and that crap got shut down at my center years ago, its stealing bargaining unit work and should never be tolerated.

Many People complain about the miss loads for a different reason than I am. Usually. By the time I start delivering them I’m making a dollar per minute if they want me to deliver them that’s fine. The problem is there so many now they’re not getting delivered. there’s not enough time and they’re too far away, businesses are closed before the driver can get them

Service suffers and all we provide is a service. My wallet might get fat, but this is not a very good long-term solution to keeping customers, and providing a superior surface that should set us apart from other service providers.

Don't have tons of misloads around here. That being said I just delivered one. But going along with your line of thinking, Mondays hurt service just as much. Businesses normally delivered in the morning get delivered late in the afternoon, sometimes so late those people might already be gone for the day. Not officially missed because it's before 5, but missed nonetheless.

By the way, it's always nice when the misload is close to a good lunch spot.

@catstalking - in my truck when the loader used the scanner he rarely had any misloads when they took them away he averaged three every day. My understanding is the technology is available it just cost too much.

 

[Pullman Brown]

What if you created a job based on routes run in the buildings for running misloads. Drivers could drop them off at UPS stores or access points etc..

how much are the capitalists profiting off the workers every hour?

that has nothing to do with a loader picking up a package and misreading the PAL, literally not a thing

it didn't cost too much, we lost hardware support and had to hoard the scanners for the hubs until automation could happen

btw, the scanners prove what I've been saying in this thread, most of the time the misloads would be caught on the belt while the loader is building their carry, especially with smalls

we can look at the belt and see a mess, but at the end of the day it comes down to each individual moment when the loader is eye ing the package, and that's where the failure has ALWAYS been

Are the misload numbers down in the newer automated buildings vs. the older buildings?

in trailers? it's basically unheard of

in package cars, automation can only get you to a couple pulls tops but no misloads aren't down amongst those loaders

misloads between pulls were already pretty rare, so that's no surprise
