The rumors are flying

How is she going to automate the 22.3s that sleep in the office?

 

[SorryLazyPOS]

But who repairs that?

A robot

 

[I have NOT been lurking]

19 full and part time supervisor jobs cut today in my old building.

 

[Johney]

They tried automation in my old building with the PAL system and it failed miserably, ton of money wasted. good luck

@scratch there is a big rumor your building will be closed and work shifted to Pdale and Smart
Feeder and one sort are already at Smart.

I also heard Fayette and Griffin will be closed and sent to Macon.
But who knows?

With automation being the future of UPS, I bet all you guys complaining about the vaccines having microchips are feeling like fools now. #cyborglivesmatter

What am I saying?

 

[KearsargeCoop]

What am I saying?

That she doesn't know the job, I know. And I agree. I was just curious if anyone had ever seen some fluffer piece on her actually on road

Sounds like it’s a good time to be working at a rural center. My center has one belt to unload on.

 

[Brownwind]

We’re good we’ve got that west coast pension to raid if needed

Also got a big ol bailout to keep our pension funds for about 30 years.

My center can’t even keep the ice machine working….go Carol

Same here.

I see the design being like an airport carousel. Nothing actually leaves the sort but it looks nice with a full belt

What’s an ice machine?

Automation and the intent of such isn't novel, nor is new to UPS. This has been in the works for a very long time, and recently buildings have been closed to reroute that work to larger automated buildings, and others have been closed to remodel with automated systems. The scamdemic delayed a fair amount of this, which led to the desire to lock down a(nother) favorable contract before proceeding. She's stated repeatedly that she's very happy with a 3.3% increase in our wage costs, which means there's more room on the next contract. With fewer workers there'll be more money for us, SOB better not that one up too.

Here’s what I’ve been wondering for a while - every new 5 year agreement has called for the creation of new jobs. HOWEVER, no one tracks this. I was surprised a few years back to learn UPS Labor doesn’t track it - why aren’t the Teamsters (i.e., S.O.B.) requiring/talking about this?

As of Investor Day 2024, UPS leadership is declaring to the world the intention to eliminate all union inside positions. Given the summary component of the latest contract below, isn’t UPS leadership announcing they negotiated in bad faith?

• The creation of 7,500 new full-time Teamster jobs at UPS and the fulfillment of 22,500 open positions, establishing more opportunities through the life of the agreement for part-timers to transition to full-time work.

They do track it. And our local also tracks all full-time inside jobs by number.
