Quadruple time 9.5 penalty isn’t enough to deter the company. How much would it take?

[UnionStrong]

Yeah I can call it whatever I want and your sister still will dance on it

I don’t have a sister, freak

I just realized I'm getting old, because I went to add a laughing gif here but couldn't figure out what I was doing, so I gave up, ha ha.

I tried again, but I have a feeling it's not going to work right

Most here clocked out after 22:30 after returning to the building and sheeting thousands of packages EC.

Rinse and repeat and start again today

I have to get my overtime on Saturday. So sad.

My center manager told me I’m not allowed to go over 9.5 3 times a week. The 3rd day I’m going to go over I am to bring back whatever stops I have left, tell the ORS in charge and punch out.

It does sound like that is the new 9.5 strategy in many places moving forward.

They botched it in regard to writing language that’s less susceptible to UPS exploitation. And UPS fully exploited that weakness. No surprise there. Letting the language go out for a vote to be perceived by corporate as straight retaliation language instead of a simple version where two days worked over 9.5 triggers penalty pay was embarrassingly stupid. And I don't think those grievances (I have a stack pending) will go our way.

Why should we have to prove retaliation in the form of ill will vs loading us down because there wasn’t enough drivers? Or simply because they can? The language (for better or worse) says we’re not to be assigned excessive (over 9.5) the other two days. The “retaliation“ is obvious if they’ve already kept us under 9.5 the other three days and then shove it down our throats the remaining two.

This controversy is nonsense. And, sadly, there are many stewards and BAs that ACTUALLY agree with UPS. And I don’t mean they acknowledge the language not being as strong as it should be. They actually think it’s supposed to be based on childish retaliation and that no one knows what excessive OT is even though the entire focus of that section concerns any hours over 9.5 hours.

Totally agree you shouldn’t have to jump threw a bunch of BS hoops just to get under 9.5

Got cleaned up with ready team and all kinds of contractual violations on the companies part and now we’re right back in the same situation. We just don’t have enough people.

Cheaper to pay overtime, many do not file for 9-5 bonus, and the company is afraid of being overstaffed particularly by full timers.

The simple fact is, many do not file for 9.5 bonus. Who knows why, but they don't. This only serves to encourage the company loading on the work. Eliminate the grievance process.

Sure, is that every single employee who went over 9.5?

Probably 95%
