Total Service Plan (TSP)

[Trucker Clock]

And according to them Sundays will also be the cost of doing.

Yep.

FedEx, Amazon and the Post Office delivers on Sunday.

Keeping up with the Kardashians, so to speak.

OK. It may work for a little podunk center. It will not work everywhere.

it works how they plan to make it work. Sounds like you all play right into the plan.


There’s a lot of room for them to shift work around to different days if they want.

It doesn’t make sense for them to do it but they’re doing it anyway at least at some point I don’t know when one of the management people I’ve known for many years is gone on special assignment for Sunday implementation

And one of the biggest concession was the 4 year wage progression. Should be thrown out of next years contract.

Theyll throw it out alright. And replace it with an eight year progression.

 

[Pullman Brown]

the plan is always to have zero 6th day punches; bad staffing means you have disorganized management or a tough labor market, or both lol

Are you sure about that?! When manager tells your center we are fully staffed and we are not even close to eliminating six punch, that has nothing to do with the center manager. That’s Corporate. Then they blame the Union. Sounds like a new definition of Fully Staffed.

Because it costs UPS more to deliver that package than what they pay the Post Office.

We can deliver some close proximity at not a great loss. But if we got rid of it altogether, rates would need to go up.

Consider the time it takes to get those off and that most building have a dedicated Surepost/smalls setup. And it takes quite a while to process those at some of the bigger stations. Not to mention the fact that many routes have to break trace to get those off. Particularly the rule routes with stations with crazy hours. Not having to do all that would save a substantial amount of fuel costs plus time/labor in processing. That is what many of us have been trying to show them for years now. Management knows it but their hands are tied because of Atlanta. The cost for Surepost is nowmore than if we just kept the damn pieces on the trucks and delivered them as we are driving by. There is more than enough “close proximity“ pieces now that e-commerce has skyrocketed. Fiber Internet is spreading into the rural areas rapidly. Out of the way stops are rare now. The rates could stay the same under the condition that should a package be one of those rare “rural remote” types they would be held until delivering them would be more practical. The only potential problem I see with this is many shippers realizing they don’t need to pay normal rates if Surepoat packages are being delivered along with the others at essentially a discount. Losing the guaranteed time in transit guarantee might help alleviate that though.

Got a text this morning, you can come in start early and load your own truck anytime. That’s not a good sign

And that may run you out of hours by the end of the week for driving!
Zero hours left friday, no forced 6th punch saturday?

It worked for me all peak last year. Friday ended and I had 3 hours or less left. Sorry boss, see you Monday.

Same here, only had 6 hours left I demanded my 8 poof @MECH-lift was off. That 13 hour day Monday is crucial.

Blobs not working 13 hours

They have a seven day network and no union to squeeze their balls about working weekends

They also don’t have people like you pushing a stupid Orion system that is a complete joke trying to justify their job. Get rid of the Union and watch UPS tank, you think people will put up with your BS for FedEx wages?

 

[Thebrownblob]

Damnit, I new the union was holding us down

LOL we aren’t behind them, their network is fake and based on crap they can’t even do. FedEx is a sinking ship

 

[Brownslave688]

3 days into TSP and we were already told they don’t care about 9.5

 

[Brownsocks]

UPS employees are the only upper hand this company has. A reality check is long overdue

In feeders we are being told your load will close at pull time whether the PT sup likes it or not.

Fine. Let’s play this game.

[PT Car Washer]

You’ve been doing it for decades how is it a last resort? Lol

Past practice?

 

[Thebrownblob]

Past practice?

No you can’t use a contractual violation as past practice. Won’t fly even legit past practice are a tough sell at a panel.

The Union and the company have agreed for over 30 years that they would rather have PT or FT air drivers perform bargaining unit work and pay them appropriately then have supervisors working. Do you disagree?
