Hopefully we can get better language in the upcoming contract with this debacle. The whole thing is a hot mess
Saturday work
- Thread starter UPS MAN Dallas TX
- Start date
At least they cannot impose it on us this time
Majority wins

I agree, but it's their problem. We are understaffed on Saturday and overstaffed on Mondays because they keep pushing more of Mondays volume to Saturday.
I would argue that this breaks the contractual commitment of UPS to ensure all RPCDs work a Mon- Fri schedule,
They are advancing Monday's work And try to take advantage of the cheaper labor force on Saturdays

Which I argue is a violation of Art22.2
That was the whole problem with this contract was the language was completely horrible.

I know of at least one RCPD that did so he could have Mondays off to take care of personal business. I know of at least one 22.4 that turned down an RCPD spot so he could have two days off a week.
Our center is small (~10,000 per day), according to Sup due to Saturdays being added our Monday volume is going to be about 1/5 what it usually is, but we're only going to have 7-8 drivers on Saturdays to start. I can only imagine how my Saturdays are gonna be looking as one of the 3 22.4's we have in our building and how many 0300's are going to be laid off every Monday. Hope it doesn't really go like that but if it does I'd imagine the senior guys are gonna be pretty pi**ed off.

Hi OMS, this is UPS man Houston TX, I’m not coming in today. I won’t be able to drive the package car safely because I’m fatigued from already working 5 days this week. Click. Rinse and repeat every Saturday. They can’t do sheet.

It’s got bad at this center I’m at. I haven’t worked any saturdays but today they called me in. I guess I could’ve called in. Ups doesn’t seem to know how to manage saturdays when they’re calling us in on mondays too. But the problems stem with management. I can tell you though if it keeps happening then I’ll be done.

Some higher seniority drivers will take a 3 day weekend over running some junk route on Mondays because their route is cut.

What about if you are an RPCD that has not worked 5 days do you have first right to work on saturday?
We have been fighting that here basically if they have more routes running than they have 22-4 drivers that's extra work and should be awarded to the RPCD drivers

Yeah we do about 22 routes tues-fri and 19 on Monday they now want to do 7-9 routes on Saturday… it’s gonna lay off drivers on Monday that have been driving for 10 years! Crazy!
The language in this last contract sucked.
