Gravy route
6 weeks in a row... 67+ hours a week, Nov and Dec... forced.
I had 68.5 hours M-friend and was forced to come in Saturday.
9:30 start time, 11:00 PM punch out at the earliest.
It happened even to the most senior drivers.
It is coming your way next peak unless we get language in the contract.

They get full pay for up to 6 months on disability. Why not?

Surprised ups even allows that to happen....that probably will be taken away from them along with some of their stock once the contract gets ratified... gotta pay for what we get somehow...

Not up to UPS. That is FMLA and state disability.

Are we afforded the same benefit???

Probably not full pay. Most state disability pays 2/3.

That's the point. But 6 months and full pay is different than our std.
Should atleast be double time if not triple. 70 hours of manual labor is slavery, if we sat on our ass all day like feeders I’d be ok with it, sucking down big gulps of sweet tea is hard work.

It's a lot simpler than that.
"I won't be in today, I am fatigued." Click.
Not.... I'm tired, stressed, don't feel good or sick....
I am fatigued. End of story.
Words make a difference.

"Fatigued" gets you an infraction.
FMLA doesn't.
Infraction? LOL
