No, that's sodium percabonate. It cleans by converting into hydrogen peroxide.

Good on grease and decks, siding too.

Would work well added to the washer sanitizer cycle. Helps break up the crud buildup.

All management must remain at building till last driver punches out

 

[Red Devil]

Also heard that drivers would not be held in the building past a certain time and any volume not loaded in the cars in time would be held for the next day. Volume must be back to the building by 8.

Pipe dream

IE had to do a lot of planning for this crap; its a great idea, i'd love to run the company like this, predictable and steady

when we roll a million in a day, we'll see how it stands up

Won’t last long, flavor of the month.

We were already threatened with route cutting if numbers don't improve.

UPS always been a tough place to work, but I do think it was a better job 20 years ago than today.

I just say “the pay and benefits are good”

Bingo.

They keep telling us if a trailer shows up late we are gonna let it sit. We’ve averaged 1 late trailer 3 times a week for 2-3 weeks now.

How is leaving that trailer not going to is the next day?

It'll give the weekend guys something to do without messing up Mondays?

TSP in order to be successful, needs a certain time.

UPS, in order to meet customer demand has been pushing loads. Everything gets done today. Late loads hit daily.

This will be a battle if the two.

 

[HavenoEDD]

You guys keep bringing this up, which is all well and good.

But seriously, I remember them giving out forms with the same question 20 years ago, PROBABLY right before a contract vote.
Anyone else remember them doing this before?

Yes and to my point it was a contract play then and it is now.

They are also concerned for their jobs. My Center Manager had an epiphany yesterday. We recently got the new cameras and he said he doesn’t envision The company needing as many management people to run centers anymore….

How am I supposed to get the load there on time when I’m dealing with faulty/unsafe equipment? Tractors not fueled before my start time?

If they are serious, the manager should be grilled on the why's and what to do about it

 

[HavenoEDD]

I never filled out the form. I would like 8 to 9 hours, but if I put that in writing I would get 10 hour days. I was going to request 12 hour days thinking they would try to screw me and give me a 8hr day, but didn't want to chance it.

Most of us laughed it off and wrote paid 8 but some guys who love the overtime put 12 hours and aren’t too happy.
The interesting part of this as an observer who just shows up, works and gets home when he gets home is the divide this is already putting amongst some of the drivers.
The inexperienced drivers and runners are blowing some routes up even more to get home and when they’ve covered some vacations management is already using their numbers against the route drivers. (Same old BS)

Most of us don’t care but some of the drivers who crave the OT are complaining that they are being brought in earlier then they wrote…so they start to stretching things out. As the runners are blowing up routes, the OT guys in the opinion of management stayed out “a little too long” and and heard about it the PCMs.

It’s such a joke and a contract play by the company to show they tried to help drivers and also divide form within.

I remember and nothing happened.

First day and they sent me out with 10+ hrs... i put 8-9 hrs on their paid day question. Just like the work/home life balance crap they had some years back, its just a game. They knew that since today was a holiday and most of our families were home they wanted to make sure we wouldn't be able to get home at a decent time to spend a little extra time with them.

Government workers are the only ones I know off for this holiday
