What's happening around the nation is a result of this whole ORION planning, numerical approach to deliveries.
Our center manager before thanksgiving said to one driver that we were ready for peak as far as drivers and trucks were concerned. I asked in October, when are we training new peak drivers? Was told "what you see is what you get"
No doubt in my mind that this current situation at many different hubs is a result of Orion honks. Did they look into how many drivers were working over 9.5 during the calendar year? Didn't take rocket scientists-brain surgeon to see that nationally we are understaffed for drivers.
I don't know how we'll be perceived at the end this peak and if all those deliveries will me made by Xmas but moving forward it doesn't look promising. There will be a large number of drivers retiring in the next 1-3 years from now.

I get it.
It's easier to "talk down" the fallacy some members have, when others are
around to observe it. Some people think (because they pay dues) it entitles
them, to verbally abuse their Local Reps. In the end.... there is more of an
underlying issue, like personal or marital problems causing the anger.

In regards to the union and their inability to enforce our agreed upon contract....you need not look any further then the complete disaster that 9.5’s were over the summer. As far as leadership or lack there of....UPS wouldn’t of tried this 70hr nonsense if the union hadn’t of shown such weakness with the 9.5’s. Simple truth is that the union needs UPS far more than UPS needs the union. The union is weak, hate to be the barer of bad news but they are. We can debate the reasons but in the end they’re weak nonetheless.

They represent you as a worker .... if things got bad for a worker .... the blame should be pointed at the “UNION”
