The day after Thanksgiving is now a reguired work day?

[BigUnionGuy]

Still, what a shame to lose that day

What did you lose ??

That you can't exercise your seniority, to force junior members to work ??


In my Local, you will have people work as many hours as they can get.

They are the ones.... who retire early.

Sounds like no one read the contract before they voted.you know how hard we had to work to get that day off, we went on strike that is how hard. Next time read before you vote.

There was no mention of this in any of the contract proposals or supplements. UPS waited until the contract was "ratified" (imposed) to announce this.

Work a lot when your young so you don't have to when your older.

Of course they waited. Text book UPS bombshell drop. Reminds me of when they more than doubled the weight limit from 70 to 150 lbs not long after a contract signing.

Breaking News....

They are in the business to make money.

I hope you (or anyone) don't consider them "friends"

Employees, are just that. (management and hourly)


Where do employees, fit in with their economic plan ??

One guess.... nowhere.

Write this down In your notbook, BC! Ive gotta Package, agrees with Upstate,on this issue! Exactly the same as when they raised the weight limit, from 70 lbs to 150 lbs. They waited until we signed the contract, then they boosted the weight limit!

And they're doing the same thing now with Black Friday? Did some locals strike when they pulled that weight increase?

I'm thinking 1993, but am not sure.

The provisions of working holidays have always been in the contract. The only holiday that we won't work (according the contract) is Labor Day. All the other holidays are in play.

I know the big strike was In 97. I cant remember if we had a 3 or 4 year contract, before that. When I started, it was always a 3 year contract.

Hmm....i didn't know that.

Im just not sure how many days they can make you work. When I was hired I was a monday - friday driver. The next contract or 2 they changed the wording. I believe to, you are either a M-friend driver. or Tue - Sat.

Its still an easy day to work though. Easiest day of the year and you get paid like a son of a gun with holiday and time and a half all day. Always work easy days like that cause more money equals more toys lmfao.

guess this has come up here before.. i dont come here much anymore,, seems every post degenerates into a pissing contest. Still, what a shame to lose that day

I'm fortunate, that with my seniority I always take that week as a vacation week. I have not always had the seniority to do this, but it sure payed off this year.

You go to work and Ive will stop by, to give Mrs. Jumpman a package!

Ours did, for one day.

It's not going to be an easy day if they include ground! It'll be a regular blownout day like the day after any other holiday.
