The story reads they would work 40 hours.
Surely the negotiating team would not give UPS the option to work them just as many hours as a regular FT driver at a reduced rate.
On second thought this is a horrible idea.

Ill go for the personal vehicle deliveries as long as they keep paying me top driver wage, hourly, and of course a vehicle stipend of maybe an additional $10 hr

And still violating.
Thanks for the information.
So I read over the Second Class drivers information on the Teamsters United created website. I wonder what some good proposals can be given to this possible propaganda. Obviously with the USPS, FedEx, and DHL all going to seven day operations, what should we do as Teamsters to compete with these other companies?
I believe the USPS pays their Sunday drivers 14 an hour as casuals. FedEx are independent contractors and with DHL getting back into the ground game, I believe they will be paying full scale, what should we do?

That is not a viable option. That is actually a horrible one.

Hire more full time drivers at driver pay.
1.1 billion in profits last quarter should just about cover that.

Cuz that would defeat the purpose behind the creation of these jobs.

The start and end times were approximate but the shift length (8 hours) was not.

Just like when you put in an 8hr request right?

If there is ratio language in the contract, similar to drivers being hired off the street then I would consider voting yes on it! So, for every 4-5 drivers hired you can hire "hybrid drivers". You have to have this language in there! The company cannot be trusted!

Excellent point.
It was actually 1.35 billion, but who's counting. What do you think is a fair profit for UPS to make per quarter, while paying drivers fifty eight dollars an hour between wages and benefits and leveling out the starting pay rate for the unborn part time workers that are going to be working here in the future?

We teamster always preach about not letting UPS get their foot in the door with this kind of stuff. But allowing full time driver jobs to mix with inside jobs is just that. The two jobs should kept completely seperate. Combo jobs should be inside work only and driving jobs should be driving only.

They don't pay me enough to answer that. Ask the ceo making 7000$ an hour.

We get our work done before Sunday.
I understand that you are in your opinion underpaid, but this is a discussion forum, so I thought you would give it a try. FYI Apple announced their quarterly profit earnings in the last couple of days. I thought it was a typo when I saw they made 61 billion this quarter. I wonder how many of their production workers are making 36 an hour.
I know we do, and we are damn good at it, but we do have to evolve with the customers needs. How can we deliver on the weekends, stay competitive, and still keep some semblance of order within the workers? I'm looking for some viable solutions.
